What? People in the US are free to walk around. What authority does a person need to walk in their neighborhood.
Learn the laws of the country.
First of all. Allow me to dispel a popular myth. Zimmerman called and communicated with the non-emergency 911 line. This line is privately operated and employed. It has no legal standing to convey orders. Zimmerman was indeed told by this private operator that "we don't need you to do that". What folk of your type fail to understand is that no one is obligated to bow to their orders. They are not legal authorities. They cannot dictate orders.
Yes, as a free person, in the country that redefined free persons, George was capable to walk freely and even engage in conversation freely; confrontational or not;
I have never had a Moderator say "Pretty Please" to me before.
That just made a hell of an impact on me.
Was it worth it, George?

he did not slander himself to make many want to kill him simply because he defended his own life against a violent, paranoid junkie.
and not to surprise you but it's about the matter of self-defense.
All the more reason not to follow one around in the first place. Are you looking for trouble?
The "good boy" who was caught breaking the law (again).
And let go... again.

ignore a very dangerous threat so that they can harm someone else? yes, brilliant idea.
I hope he sues the news agencies that slandered him.

People are not arrested for minor speeding infractions.
"People" aren't pulled over for "minor speeding" either. "Speeding" was the word used.
Do you follow "dangerous, paranoid junkies" around?
do you manipulate the masses into wanting to attack an innocent man?
Neither does George have any "authority" to follow or chase "suspicious persons". In his capacity as a self appointed "watch" citizen he is only "required" to keep his distance, observe and report.
A driver might be pulled over for 5 or 10 mph above the limit. More than that would probably get a ticket. Warnings usually go to those who are just above the limit. On Texas highways, many, many people drive 10 over. The police can't pull everyone over. I wouldn't be surprised if the out of state plate got him noticed and warned.
So what about the Good Samaritan Act OR a Citizens Arrest?
