Hi Ed, If Zimmerman had broken off the following when the 911 operator (not the police) told him he could (not told him he had to) - which he may have - the MSM would never say that, Trayvon could have pursued him, and indeed eventually did hit him and knocked him down. Now, I'll grant you I wouldn't have followed the sob either. Nor would I be on the neighborhood watch. Busy enough with what I am doing. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
