1. Zimmerman, a young Hispanic male, mid-twenties, did not identify himself to Martin in his capacity as a neighborhood watcher.

2. Martin, an older teen from a Miami suburban community, was possibly unfamiliar with the city of Sanford and the Twin Lakes gated community. On the phone (blue tooth ear?) with someone (g/f) and Martin’s caller tells him to run. Martin apparently runs.

3. Zimmerman called 911 simultaneously, but again, did not ID himself to 911 operator, but operator advised Zimmerman NOT to follow/run after Martin; who was unknown at the time.

4. Martin circles back around the buildings to surprise Zimmerman. Martin commits assault and battery.

5. Zimmerman pulls weapon and shoots and kills Martin.

Who is at fault:

1. The city of Sanford or whoever the city council chooses to scapegoat for not ensuring police availability within an allegedly high-crime area. It obvious that 8 minutes is not enough time to be pro-active.

2. The city of Sanford and its Police department for not keeping an active presence among neighborhood and watchers. (it is apparent that no one even knew that there was a neighborhood watcher)

3. The 911 operator for not asking the right questions and assuming that Zimmerman was not a neighborhood watcher.

In conclusion,

It is the city of Sanford and its leaders that are to blame and NOT Zimmerman or Martin; they were simply two people caught up in Sanford’s poorly designed protection scheme.

Why did the City of Sanford not make an active effort in implementing the neighborhood watching activity. It is more than something police do, it is an “all-hands” effort that the city and it’s residents are responsible for. Why did they not make sure that any resident could identify a watcher from any distance? A ball cap of a certain color and/or Sanford seal. It is entirely probable that Martin’s father would have informed his son about the man wearing the ball cap.

Apparently, Sanford is the city that “passes the buck”; starting from the top down. George Zimmerman’s future will be determined by the court systems fear of national public outcry that is based on the misinformation and meddling of ABC/CNN news, misinformed public leaders and a misinformed public with a racial bias. There was no racial bias here, only misinformation.

End of story.

Either way, in a state with a history of politicizing legal precedent (stand your ground being one of them) and the presidency in 2000 being brought to trial in the state of Florida may not necessarily turn out the best situation that Mr Zimmerman could have hoped for, but then again, had he shot Trayvon Martin in another state, his preface that he was only enacting the stand your ground precedent could just as quickly have been thrown out the front door the very first day….
