    So what?...that has nothing to do w/the facts of the case AND the jury will never be allowed to hear that as it will unduly influence the outcome/jury.

    In the end...GZ will be rich as he will sue and get money for a politically motivated prosecution...iow, he was railroaded.

    I cannot say that this is suprising to me but I doubt it will help with either of their case. Still awaiting more facts.

    Apparently I missed all the articles about that part of it. The stories I read all said he lost sight of the kid, got out to look for him, and was attacked while getting back into his car. After reporting it to the police on the phone.



    But then, you're right, he probably had the spot light out and was questioning poor innocent Trayvon.

    must be tired, i am missing your point,

    sanford has been a bad neighborhood for years was even fifteen years ago when i lived in Altamonte Springs and Oviedo, So what.

    My story is the same. CCW is not meant to allow you to patrol your neighborhood and making contact with potential bad guys. I think he should have stayed his ass in the car. and waited for the cops to contact the suspect,.

    The point was that he was patrolling his neighborhood because of all the recent break-ins. It is kind of a cop-out answer to just say, "just become a real cop" because then he'd be away all day being a cop some where else.

    The whole point of doing neighborhood watch, is to watch your neighborhood and report on suspicious activities. He had an incident earlier where he did just what you suggested and the guys got away. Neighborhood watch is useless if no one ever gets caught so he had to up his efforts in order to get stuff done.

    nope, you are correct.

    Being a citizen allows you to do that. The your sidearm is to defend yourself in case the bad guy gets violent... just like the Cops sidearm.
