Re: Trayvon Martin Case
"after you upset them", no. After the person followed initiates a physical confrontation and uses enough force to put "you" in reasonable fear of "your" life. Yup. "You" get to shoot them.

Re: Trayvon Martin Case
Quote:
Stalking is a distinctive form of criminal activity composed of a series of actions that taken individually might constitute legal behavior. For example, sending flowers, writing love notes, and waiting for someone outside her place of work are actions that, on their own, are not criminal. When these actions are coupled with an intent to instill fear or injury, however, they may constitute a pattern of behavior that is illegal. Though anti-stalking laws are gender neutral, most stalkers are men and most victims are women. Stalking first attracted widespread public concern when a young actress named Rebecca Shaeffer, who was living in California, was shot to death by an obsessed fan who had stalked her for two years. The case drew extensive media coverage and revealed how widespread a problem stalking was to both celebrity and noncelebrity victims. Until the enactment of anti-stalking laws, police had little power to arrest someone who behaved in a threatening but legal way. Even when the suspect had followed his victim, sent her hate mail, or behaved in a threatening manner, the police were without legal recourse. Law enforcement could not take action until the suspect acted on his threats and assaulted or injured the victim. I don't expect you to send JR love notes or flowers, however it would lighten the mood. |

Re: Trayvon Martin Case
But Mr. Rat ta tat tat: Zimmerman has repeatedly followed and harassed individuals that share common characteristics with Mr. Martin, the deceased. Calling the police repeatedly at the sight of black males walking through his community is a form of harrassment. It should have been a harbinger of the current trial. This consitutes a paranoid fear of black males. Mr. Zimmerman's behavior shows patterns then he kills one.

Re: Trayvon Martin Case
In Zimmerman's mind you would have a point. But that is Florida and I know damn well all the burgulars and trouble makers were not black. Research the area of Zimmerman's broken dreams of being a Mall cop. He called the police 100 times and that led to one arrest. The other times were delusions of a sick individual. Living in florida where the black males roam free. Poor Zimmerman.
