If I was on the phone with 911 dispatch following someone and they ask me 'are you following him' and i say 'yes' and they say 'we don't need you to do that'....what else would I possibly think they meant?
it could be interpreted as the dispatcher saying they dont need me to do it but if I want to be extra helpful to police i can continue if i want.

I agree totally with your theory....just wanted to add....that most likely after zimmerman grabbed Treyvon, Treyvon started to scream for help....not Zimmerman, Zimmerman had not reason to scream.
the screams are important, they are on the 911 and it helps piece the scene together....probably pretty close to what you described.edit on 30-3-2012 by pizzanazi75 because: (no reason given)

Knowing IMO they used bad judgement, wouldn't you expect someone that comes from a law enforcing home and morals know better? The kid (TM) was a average teen by the looks, and I'm sure not too many teens are that mature...

On the ground facing down? So how was it that TM was the aggressor if he was face down when Zimmer got up?
So does that mean TM was shot in the back? Last I heard the medical examiner said that he saw ZERO marks on TM's hands (meaning he was not fighting anyone), and the only injury was the shot wound...

well we know zimmermans was very keen on phoning the police about suspicious persons in his neighbourhood. I think he took it upon himself to do more than he needed. Probably thinking he's helping and doing good when really it was stupid.

Thanks... I have been following this since day one because it's in my backyard... I have not watched the news as I do not frequent tv much, but I have read several articles online and seen many different scenarios. What I posted it what I feel happened.
I will be the first to admit I could be wrong, but then again no public civilian has all the details. So everything is an assumption at this point. I personally have taken all the bits and pieces and put it together on my own using logic and common sense. My family was pretty much all officers and I was going to be a P.I. so I know a little. The way this guy was following the teen should of been inconspicuous so not to startle the suspect. Even PI's are never to approach anyone, and are held liable if they do so.

"need" is not the same as "want"
It boils down to this people, can you prove zimmerman knew how to bait someone into hitting him so he could kill them legally?

How can you ignore witness testimony and corroboration by police and paramedics? Moments after it happened? Those things are more important than the manipulated stories several weeks later.
It doesn't matter if you set a chain of events in motion. Then you could blame it on Zimmerman's wife who asked him to go to the store, or Martin for ever being suspended from school. Honestly in the chain of events walking through the yards of a neighborhood at night could easily be considered suspicious enough to observe especially when you have had multiple robberies, burglaries, thefts, and a past shooting. Zimmerman had actually caught a thief in the past. Following someone, no matter how creepy, isn't crime and I don't think Zimmerman followed Martin much.
