i left out illegal for a reason...i was addressing the moral aspects of the incidents...to say 'most' people object to zimmerman following trayvon is false...many people [like juror b-37] feels "george" was just trying to do the right thing and dont oppose anything he did to trayvon...following someone [in this context] is harassment but may not reach the threshold of a criminal act...some who inject the legality of following do so to avoid consideration of the moral [right and wrong] dimensions of the event...
I don't think following Trayvon was wrong...or illegal. It was a situation handled entirely incorrectly, which is why GZ should be held liable for manslaughter.
I think people are still to emotionally invested in this to look at it from a reasonable perspective.
I know most people in my neighborhood, there are black people, white people, brown people. I see who jogs daily, I know more or less what times based on when I'm outside, i make it a point to know who lives in my area so that I know when someone who isn't supposed to be there IS THERE. I call the cops at the drop of a hat. I don't follow people. If I was neighborhood captain I might follow but never get out my car. THAT, IMHO is where he fuked up.
But following TM was not wrong, GZ WAS just watching out for his home/area. IF you think calling the cops on a suspicious person YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN is wrong then yeah you probably don't agree with me. IF you do then can you agree that GZ calling the cops on TM was ok? Can you agree that as neighborhood watch trying to keep an eye on the guy was his responsibility, it's called neighborhood watch right? Not my own shyt watch?
That's where I end my support of GZ, everything following that was GZ's fault.
