I am really very surprised at some of the responses on this thread.
A burglary tool could be a large screw diver. If he had a small crowbar in his locker and got kicked out of school for it, it is not relevant in this situation with GZ.
If TM smoked weed on a regular basis, it is not relevant in this situation.
If TM’s girlfriend is uneducated, black and hates whites, it is not relevant in this situation.
What is relevant is GZ confronted an unknown person in his neighborhood walking on the sidewalk not bothering anyone. The Watch program had rules about staying in the vehicle and calling the cops. The dispatcher told GZ to stay in the vehicle and wait on police.
GZ got out of his car to confront someone who he did not know who was doing nothing wrong. Who was unarmed, with no burglary tools on them.
We do not know for sure who started the fight because GZ killed the only other person who was there. It might have been GZ who jumped TM because TM did not want to stand around and wait on the Po Po. And then when TM got the better of GZ, GZ shot him. We do not know what happened in truth. The trial is to decide that.
How many of YOU fellow freepers think you have the right to stop stop someone in your neighborhood just because you do not know who they are and they are of another race? And in addition you are sure you are armed just in case they do not cooperate with you? Do you know personally everyone who lives or is visiting in your neighborhood?
I am always armed, I believe in the 2nd amendment. I would notice if something is going on where I live that should not be. And I would not hesitate to call the cops (which I ahave). I also have been confronted 3 times in my life by armed individuals who have gone off their property and out of their way to confront me when I was doing nothing wrong.
GZ should have stayed in the car and let the cops handle this.

Hey make yourself useful. Help DeeDee to get her Rolex on right for her next court appearance — and stop your mindless bloviating.

You need to take the log out of your own eye

He was not told to stay in the car in fact he was twice told to keep an eye on him. ( testimony by dispatcher this week dispatcher confirmed both)

Dispatcher also requested he find an address. Since TM was no longer in view he got out of car to get address

You obviously have inside information. Please post a link to back up those assertions, because that's the first I'd heard of it. Otherwise I think you are just talking out of your ass.

I do, and I don't care what "race" they are.

You repeat so much of the phony media “narrative” (”was told to stay in the car” etc.) that I can’t imagine that you’ve looked into this case more than superficially.

Where are you getting your info that TM was walking on a sidewalk? Cite your source.

In my neighborhood, if someone was skulking about and there was a history of break-ins (there have been) and said person was skulking near my house or my neighbors houses, damn right I'd confront him. Race doesn't enter into it.
