We dont know exactly how it happened, we dont know how he approached him, we dont know who made the first move, once the fight starts, all bets are off, however. We DO know that Zimmerman was following him, against recommendations. For that, I fault Zimmerman. Like I said, it might not be a crime, but Zim is at least at fault for starting the whole thing.
And I've been followed too, it ended up pretty ugly. I'm glad the other guy didnt have a gun.
I’m sorry, but following and approcahing someone is not assault, and it is not aggrvated assault.
The kid could have used his phone to call police and report the following.
If he chose to assault Zimmerman over it, then Zimmerman was within the law to use his gun to stop the assault.
You are exactly right when you say what Zimmerman did wasn’t a crime, and if what the kid apparently did happened, then that was a violent crime.
Is it a crime or is it against any ordiance for a person or a neighorhood watch captain to follow a suspicious individual?
Please cite for me the anti-following ordiance that he was in violation of.
