Welcome to the guano school of bullshit. Nothing self-appointed at all. Zim contacted local police about forming a community watch program because of crime in that condo complex. He was then put in touch with a female officer who trained and oversaw members of such groups within that jurisdiction. In other words his group, like others, was approved/sanctioned by the local police force and he was doing as he'd been trained, as he had often done in previous situations.IMO GZ is the one who escalated the situation.
He had no reason to follow Martin. No reason to get out of his car. His life was not in danger until he put it in danger. GZ was looking for a fight
The one thing I learned about being a CCW permit holder and carrying a weapon is that you absolutely have to cultivate a non-confrontational demeanor.
He was a neighborhood watch captain, so your premises are false. Martin didn't have to come back and attempt to murder Zimmerman, and if Zimmerman was so trigger happy and looking for shit Martin wouldn't have been able to jump him and beat Zimmerman's head on the sidewalk, he would have been shot before he laid a hand on Zimmerman. There were zero grounds to even charge Zimmerman for anything; it was a political pogrom, period, and the pathetic racist gimps on the 'Left' are just infuriated they couldn't railroad him into prison and murdered.
Being a so called self appointed watch captain is meaningless. GZ is responsible for escalating the situation.
And didn't that cop tell him not to follow Martin?
So right there GZ ignored a lawful order from a cop.
He wanted the confrontation.
