I've taken many CRJ and law courses, so by the letter of the law, you are correct. HOWEVER, my point was that if you've ever been around a situation being handled by police, they HAVE to maintain the presence of order in all situations. That's why they speak loudly and firmly. You'll often see them telling people to "BACK OFF" OR "STOP YELLING". They get people to comply by saying, "do you want to go to jail?". Sometimes a wise ass says, "I ain't doing nothing wrong. I know my rights. You have no probable cause", etc. Truth is, they can just say you were interfering with the investigation, and throw your ass in the patrol car. So maybe my "idiotic thinking" isn't so far off base, now is it?
Also, you seem to be another one wanting their cake and eating it too. Either you feel Zimmerman should be prosecuted or not. Don't play both sides.
Also, I think Squanto already cleared this up, but even Zimmerman saying he feared for his life because he was being beaten to death by a wet noodle is probable cause. He clearly seems capable of defending himself against a weaponless Martin, and didn't show any signs of a LIFE AND DEATH struggle.
Oh ya, one last thing, Zimmerman watches too many movies. Supposedly he lost sight of Martin, and then while returning to his car, he suddenly appeared behind him, suckered him, and began slamming his head into the sidewalk. Ya right. Weren't his own words, "they always get away". Not, "they always come back to get caught". At this point it is unknown how they came face to face, but I'm sure it's a whale of a tale.
-That was when Clint Eastwood(played by Steve Urkel) came out from behind the house to fight Goliath(played by the Rock), and sucker punched him in the face from behind, knocking him down and rendering him defenseless. Hahaha Then while the fighting ensues someone cries for help(you can't tell which one cried out, but your hint is it wasn't Goliath). Next thing we hear is a gunshot, and Clint dies. Sorry if I'm making comedy out of tragedy, but it really does sound this absurd.
