It is reasonable to conclude that TM thought an attack was imminent.

There was no legitimacy at all. Protecting his neighborhood from a teen waking down the street doing nothing wrong? What gave Z the legitimacy to stalk and harass TM?
Yes, protecting his neighborhood from a suspicious person who appeared to be casing houses.
So, you take the word of a known liar, GZ, at face value that Martin was"casing" houses? What expertise does GZ have to determine that? 7PM is kind of early to be out burglarizing dontcha think?
In America, you can follow people, even if they're black.
If Trayvon felt he was being stalked or harassed, he should have called 911.
Well, the GZ case shows that you can follow teenagers, especially if they are black. I doubt if he would have followed a white guy wearing a cowboy hat in the manner he did TM. GZ would likely have considered the dire consequences for doing so! As for calling 911, TM had a cell phone but if you know anything about cell phones you would know that you can't use 911 if you call from a different area from which the phone was originally activated.

BTW, GZ's "Neighborhood Watch" moniker was not even sanctioned by the National Sheriff's Association which the real NW operates under!
So what? You can follow people, even if you're not in a real NW.
Uh... no, following suspects is one of the things the real organization discourages.
you said you were laughing about my "confusion?"
Its probably a nervous laugh... one that emanates for the pit of an upset stomach when you know the truth is being revealed
It's the nervous laugh when you realize you're talking to an idiot.
I knew it was only a matter of time before you brought the conversation down to name calling. I see you have done it quite frequently with others. Typical of right wing white males who feel threatened by progressive thinkers!

I still think that the determination as to when to use force against your stalker is best left to the person being followed.
If you shoot someone just because they're following you, you'll quickly be in jail.
Like I said before, it depends on circumstances like the time of day, the weather, the manner in which they are following me and whether I feel good or not! But thanks for the warning...If you want to adhere to your dumb rule of letting some nutcase get the drop on you after following you aggressively when no one else is around... go ahead!
