Now let me ask you how you would react if some black man followed you around some neighborhood you had walked through to buy some candy and then chased after you?

Which is what Zimmerman says happened and what the 911 tape indicates. I don't know what you mean by "chased after" as opposed to following him.
And why do you make it a "black" man following me around? What makes you think I would react any differently than if a white or hispanic man followed me around? Don't project your OWN race phobias on to me.
Would you maybe beat his dumbass? Originally Posted by WTFNo, why would I beat somebody up for following me and watching me? I'd give them a nice boring show to watch.
Martin's mistake was not realising the wanna be cop was armed. Originally Posted by WTFOK. So, beating up someone merely for following him was not a mistake in your opinion? That's OK with you? It was the "not realizing his target was armed" part that was the mistake - not the actual assault?
Again, thank you for clarifying.
