So from what they said, even if Zimmerman had been operating under the new rules, he wouldn't have been in violation of them because he wasn't on duty at the time. I am a bit skeptical of Zimmerman's statement regarding trying to find an address. I don't know how long he had been on the neighborhood watch program, but I would think he could have at least given an intersection close by. With someone walking, giving a specific address wouldn't be too helpful. IMHO I wonder what effect the new rules will have on recruiting for the new and improved program since members have to consent to surrender their right to self defense on duty. Though if a member were to break the rules and carry on duty, the worst that would happen would be that he would get kicked out of the program. And again, keeping eyes on a person from a distance and passing on information to the police isn't pursuing. Pursuit is an intent to "catch" someone. And Zimmerman was returning to his car when Martin caught up with him and the resulting melee ensued.
Did anyone see that vile, disgusting creep senator Cruz putting on his sad clown act as he addressed Ms. Fulton, Trayvon's mother? What a horrible and sickening excuse for a human being. I'm through cutting that guy any slack. He is a dangerous and sick-minded monster operative for purest evil. A stooge for ALEC and stand your ground laws across our fair land.
Imagine the seething rage inside of Ms. Fulton as she silently withstood his cold-hearted and emblazoned attack. Just praying that she could somehow make him stop. No more love for Mr. Cruz. He's not just an annoying child anymore. I reserve my deepest contempt, if not utter hatred for such as him.

I didn't remember that part about Zimmerman not having been on duty. That makes it even worse.
DeleteYour definition of pursuit and whether or not that's what GZ was doing is far from fact.
He was on his way to the store to pick up milk.
DeleteIf you check the dictionary it defines pursuit as simply following someone.
ReplyDeleteAnd the dictionary says........
Deletepur·sue
verb \pər-ˈsü, -ˈsyü\
: to follow and try to catch or capture (someone or something) for usually a long distance or time
: to try to get or do (something) over a period of time
: to be involved in (an activity)

That's what I would call a very small victory.

He's a smarmy son of a bitch. I posted the video just now.
DeleteHere's a good reason to be careful about the organizations you join--some of them want to violate your rights.
