Re: Have you ever called the police on a person walking, breathing and using their ey

Wait, looking at houses while walking near them is odd:lamo

Holy shat I do that all the time:lamo

Yes, looking in (hopefully you now realize this was Z's allegation) and at houses while walking slowly in the rain is rather odd. Ever hear that old saying "too dumb to get out of the rain"? I wonder what it says about you that you are walking around slowly in the rain (all the time, according to you). Shrug.

That is NOT why he called police. Please get your facts straight.

That was Z's allegation. You can very easily read it in the statement he gave to the police just after the incident. But, then, as you are someone that doesn't know to come in out of the rain, I really don't have much confidence.

Did I call that? Yes. Yes, I did! My lack of confidence in your abilities was well founded.

Ah, the 911 call is irrelevant now. Gotcha:lamo



There was NO 911 call. Check.

"Gotcha!"
 
Re: Have you ever called the police on a person walking, breathing and using their ey

Respectfully, this case you quote is not a very valid example of the matter being discussed.

A poorly executed hamburger order is not on a parallel with a personal or property situation. If I believe one of my neighbors is being robbed (or beaten), it's my responsibility to call for professional assistance.

In the referenced case (not the burger case), calling the police was the logical, reasonable and proper thing to do. To take over investigative responsibility after that was not very smart.

Sure, calling the cops is a right:lol:

Cops never had the chance to investigate in this case:(
 
Re: Have you ever called the police on a person walking, breathing and using their ey

Trayvon Martin was NOT looking INTO anything. Obviously, if someone was looking INTO a home or car, then a police response may be required. Staying on topic though, just walking on a sidewalk/walking path and "looking" (i.e using one's eyes).

How do you know what he was doing?
 
Re: Have you ever called the police on a person walking, breathing and using their ey

Yes, literally using their feet & legs to move, using lungs to bring oxygen in the body, and using their eyes to look at objects.

Hmm.

I'm frequently suppressing the urge to kill people - the other day at the grocery store a guy made some sleazy comment about my ass and long hair and I stood behind him in line the entire time thinking through 5 different ways of killing him - purse strap from behind, around his neck, he was well over 6' but by jumping up onto the counter first I could hang on like a spider monkey. Pocket knife to the lung from behind, being so short it would give me perfect leverage. . . . no doubt - I can kill people if I want to, no gun necessary . . . more importantly; I want to.

Oh wait - that wasn't your question . . . . "yes" - people should call the police on people like me if they feel we're really a threat because we probably are.

This post failed miserably but hey - I feel better - thanks for the cathartic opportunity. :rofl: :roll:

There AREN'T any sidewalks alonside the streets in the complex either. You walk in the street or you walk on the grass.

It just sounds more sinister when they say he wasnt on the sidewalk.

No, not in all places, but there is a sidewalk from where he entered the complex directly to the house he was staying at. There was also a sidewalk just a few feet from where he was walking in the street or on the grass or whatever and that sidwalk also would have taken him directly to his house.

It's amazing how much value is being given to a sidewalk - as if the fate of the future relies on it. LOL

A sidewalk is merely a solid surface applied over the natural ground to enable one to traverse from point A to point B without soiling their feet or twisting an ankle.

The point that they are trying to make is that Zimmerman said Trayvon was on the grass in between the sidewalk and the homes.

They mistakenly have come to a belief that their was no such sidewalk, so everything Zimmerman has said about Trayvon would be a lie.

Unfortunately for them, the sidewalks are right there as they should be.

They only disappear when they look at the complex, and magically reappear when they are no longer looking.

But not really in the area where Z reported M "looking into houses".

There are walkways but no sidewalks on the street.

I dont have a problem with Z calling the cops, so whether M was actually acting suspiscious is moot for me.

IMO Z screwed the pooch when he got out of his truck.

But, I think the point is that he could have taken a sidewalk for all his walking needs all the way through the complex.

He easily could have taken a sidwalk rather then walking in the grass near the houses or in the street near the cars.

I'll agree, though. Getting out of the truck was not the smartest thing to do. hindsight being 20/20 though, i don't think that's too surprising a statement. Shrug.
 
Re: Have you ever called the police on a person walking, breathing and using their ey

I've never called the police on someone for just walking, but I've had the police stop ME for just walking along the street...on the sidewalk. Then again, it was 3:00 in the morning. I didn't mind...in fact, I was glad they were on the ball.
 
Re: Have you ever called the police on a person walking, breathing and using their ey

I was stopped for just walking on the sidewalk minding my own business - but I was dressed inappropriately and I think he wanted to get my phone number. It didn't work - he was ugly.

Where else was he supposed to look? The sky? His feet? Straight forward the entire time like a robot? He was on the phone, keep in mind, and people on the phone tend to look around. I basically navigate the entire house when I'm on a phone call. Not to mention it would take EXTRAORDINARY multitasking capabilities to talk on the phone and check to see if a house was worth breaking into, unless Dee was an accomplice.

Also, Martin had came to his neighborhood from Wisconsin. He very well could have been checking the addresses.

Zimmerman never said he was looking into houses.
 
Re: Have you ever called the police on a person walking, breathing and using their ey

I wouldn't do such a thing, but calling the cops wasn't the issue. Zimmerman is the one who shot Trayvon, not a cop.

:slapme:
You are right, but only by a technicality.

He said he was looking into homes.
Not houses, not Holmes, but homes. Go figure, huh?


Tonight, I was on my way to the grocery store when I saw a male approximately 5'11" to 6'2" Casually walking in the rain looking [highlight]into[/highlight] homes.
George Zimmerman?s Written Statement - Document - NYTimes.com
Four lines up from, and including, his last sentence on the first page.

Pshaw!
Navigating a known familiar space is different.

Most people who are walking while talking on the phone, especially in unfamiliar territory, are concentrating on where there are walking, and not looking into other people's homes.
