Would there have been an altercation if Zimmerman did what the authorities told him to do?
I agree, it wouldn't play out in my favor because as many black men who are serving time in prison, I don't have the resources for it to play out in my favor. The point I was making is Zimmerman did just that. He pursued, shot, and killed someone who was not bothering him, or anyone else, which is wrong on all levels.

I didn't say the jury didn't follow the law. I said they already had predetermined their decision long before the trial started.
