I Am George Zimmerman

So what you are saying is that if George Zimmerman were walking in my neighborhood, based on the fact that I do not see many people like him in my area, I can follow him in my car (because he looks suspicious) through the neighborhood; call 911 and report him while continuing to follow him. I can see that he is looking around and I can see that he sees me and is on the phone with someone. I can tell that he is not Black but I can't tell what he is up to because I can not read body language, but I know that white men walking through non white neighborhoods is strange so it doesn't surprise me when he suddenly takes off running. It never dawns on me that he is RUNNING AWAY from me because he might be scared or maybe he just does not want to be followed but I decide to get out of my car and go running after George despite the 911 operator telling me not to because "these assholes always get away". As I'm out of breath from chasing him I call him a punk. George has no idea why I am following him and I have no idea that he was on his way home, because I don't see people like him in my neighborhood and I "genuinely" want to help keep my neighborhood safe. So I keep running after him and looking for him long after the 911 operator told me to NOT TO FOLLOW HIM. George decides, maybe, that I may mean him harm - I mean he did RUN AWAY and I still managed to catch up to him - so he could be really scared now but all I know is "these fuckin punks" and "these assholes always get away" so I continue to pursue. Here is where it gets a little sketchy, I catch up to George and confront him or George gets tired of running AWAY from me and decides to try to protect himself from me but what poor George doesn't know is that I am strapped and I am not taking any shit from these punk assholes tonight. So when George decides to try to get me away from him by beating my ass with a bag of Skittles and his cell phone because, let's just say I out weigh him by 100lbs and I am older and stronger than him, instead of me fighting back with my cell phone, which I was just on, I decide to even the odds a little bit. I mean he has a phone AND Skittles and all I have is a phone and my gun. I decide that it is obvious that George had planned to attack me all along that's why he RAN AWAY from me - so he could lure me into a secluded space and beat me to death with his Skittles and cell phone. I'm fearing for my life now but this "punk asshole" George Zimmerman picked the wrong concerned citizen to RUN AWAY from tonight because I shoot his ass dead and I know that no jury in the world will convict a man for keeping his neighborhood safe from a resident that he doesn't recognize... right? So you all are saying that you would recommend that I take this approach in my neighborhood when I see strangers or maybe you would advise your sons or daughters that if they are being followed in their OWN NEIGHBORHOOD that they should not RUN AWAY and try to get home but they should just walk normally and hope for the best. Is that what your position is?
