It's also a good description of how to stalk someone. One can describe something in many different terms, but that doesn't change the fact that this behavior was far from innocent. He was probably quite excited about being in a position to potentially exercise his vigilante skills.

IF that was the case, then why didn't he STAY IN THE DAMN CAR when the dispatcher told him to?

"God" had other plans.

What I have never heard addressed in this case, is why Zimmerman never called for a paramedic. Forgetting everything else... Why is no one asking why his first instinct wasn't to call for an ambulance for the guy bleeding out on the ground? Even if he was expecting the police, it doesn't address a gunshot wound. I have never seen this brought up by the media, or by anyone in comments. It disturbs me as much as anything else about this case.

Every time he speaks there is a different spin. First he got out the car and followed him and got followed back to the car. Then Martin was right outside of his car. Now he was pursuing him.

One version had Zimmerman getting out of the car and running down the street so Martin walked toward him on that sidewalk between the homes.

Not taking the 5th could be what sinks this douche bag.

Also, something that makes no sense to me is the part after Zimmerman allegedly gets decked in the nose, he falls backwards (or is pushed), and then Martin straddles him? Every time I have pictured this in my head, I find Martin "getting on top of Zimmerman" problematic. If I was there, and the aggressor in Zimmerman's scenario, I would begin to kick. If I was some punk who was trying to beat up a stockier stranger, I wouldn't expose my more delicate parts to danger as I climb on top of him, "straddling" him to begin pummeling his face "more than a dozen times." ...and I can never picture where Zimmerman is keeping his arms. Are they blocking? Covering? Attempting to hold Martin's arms? Being held by Martin? They were free enough for him to use them as leverage to "shimmy" on the ground... The fight scene is ridiculous. It could only occur if Martin leaped on top of Zimmerman, cartoon-style... Am I missing something in these moments?

This is the part that pisses me off the most. That killing Martin was "part of God's plan." God's plan involved you murdering an innocent teen for walking while black. Uh huh.

Didn't Breivek say something similar following his massacre?
