According to your scenario, if a woman feels threatened because I am behind her and screams, that still doesn't give her the right to turn around and physically assault me. Period. That's the only way an assault would have occurred if I never had any intention of making physical or verbal contact with her, which btw, Zimmerman made neither. Martin is the one that walked up and initiated the actual contact.
You seem to keep glossing over the.point that on the 911 tape, when the dispatcher told Zimmerman not to follow, he began to make arrangements on where to meet the officer. He says on tape he lost him, and is discussing where exactly he will be when the officer arrives. You keep saying that he willfully ignored the dispatcher's request and CONTINUED to follow Martin, which isn't supported by the 911 tape in any fashion.
Again and read carefully, I didn't say behind her. Follow along..."FOLLOWING HER FOR BLOCKS"....let's do this again in case you miss it, "FOLLOWING HER FOR BLOCKS", not behind her, not on the same side of the street, not at a bus stop, not in a park,but FOLLOWING HER FOR BLOCKS. I would love to see how that is interpreted by law enforcement and I'd bet the house, it wouldn't be favorable for the person doing the following in most jurisdictions outside of middle earth (Sanford).
And please don't act like you actually know what happened simply because you sympathize with Zimmerman. When it's clear as day that you do.
