I’ve given the transcript of the call where the dispatcher asks twice what the suspect is doing / which way is he running, the suggestion that the dispatcher / police don’t NEED GZ to follow the suspect, the video testimony of the dispatcher denying that he gave an ORDER. (http://tinyurl.com/kzd8rec 1:18 – 2:10…the lawyer says “it isn’t necessary?” the dispatcher agrees)

What is your evidence that I am misrepresenting what happened?

you are right. in the OJ case, he murdered his wife by almost cutting her head clean off. It was not self defense at all. Just plain jealous rage in its finest hour.

white males have little to do with it. location has everything to do with it. in a state like new york mass, or california, one would be convicted of a crime just by saying the word GUN. far left places are more likely to punish the victim and reward the criminal than others. Alos, good lawyers help. Zimmerman had god lawyers that knew their stuff.

look at it like this. The martin family’s lawyers failed to convince the jury that Zimmerman was guilty. They failed to prove within a reasonable doubt if you will. In order to win a case, you have to have a good lawyer, ex- OJ simpson.

When OJ simpson killed his white wife, you didn;t see hoards of white people in the streets after he got away with with it and it was a much worse crime than this thing was.

True. Crimes against women by their husbands seldom see protests in the US when they go unpunished, and his case is not unique. And there are marital cases more apropos to the Zimmerman verdict. In Florida, a woman has just been sentenced to 20 years in prison for firing a warning shot in her home to try to scare off her abusive husband. She attempted to use the same defense as Zimmerman, but did not prevail. So, I am forced to conclude that in Florida, you have the right to defend yourself, but only if your case is high profile enough to attract good lawyers, and it probably also helps if you’re a white male.

The OJ case is a red herring. It’s not remotely like the George Zimmerman case.

the roles have been reversed. Remember OJ simpson?

When GZ hung up with the dispatcher, GZ and the DIspatcher thought the event was finished.
You say GZ confronted TM…GZ’s account (which didn’t change over the multiple statements he voluntarily gave to police in the days after the shooting) is that he was confronted and sucker punched by TM (although this isn’t in evidence at the trial, there are multiple instances where TM bragged about such activities).

Having said all of that: A) If I am being followed, I’m going to go somewhere safer (but probably not home, why would I take you there if I’m not sure you know where I live?) B) If I am “confronted” by another man, I attempt to de-escalate and disengage. C) It may have been wise to activate a recording device when being followed. D) I would not confront / throw punches. E) Perhaps I would phone the place I was en route to and have someone come towards me in order to intercept any following. (Modern phones are powerful tools)

I’m not sure how you arrive at GZ doing the confronting, as there is no evidence of this. If you’d like to say that GZ jumped out of a tree at TM and scuffed his knuckles on the pavement before shooting him, you can…but there’s not evidence to back that up.

I appreciate the somewhat tactical question, though.
