He was still being lazy. Neighborhood Watch is supposed to be on foot patrolling the neighborhood.
He did call the police. And he didn't do anything wrong by following the guy to keep him in line of site.
The shit hit the fan when TM got pissed and went back to beat GZ's ass.
Unfortunately that's what a lot of young men full of hormones and feeling indestructible will do.
I possibly would have done the exact same thing when I was that age. I can't say for certain because I was kind of unpredictable as a teenager. Teen boys can be very dangerous and very destructive.
GZ is also a relatively young man. And I guess the testosterone was flowing and he thought he could handle it.
With 20/20 hindsight, he should have stepped back or ran and kept plenty of distance between himself and TM.
But how many of us guys would act like pussies and run away from another man?
I'm guessing not many of us.
And TM and GZ felt that way too...no way that either man was going to run like a little bitch.
The difference is that GZ as neighborhood watch was keeping a guy in sight waiting on the cops. He had no intention of "catching him".
TM, on the other hand was intent on confronting this guy who is following him and pissing him off.
And we all know what happened next.
But all talk of GZ getting out of his car is just ridiculous.
He is SUPPOSED to be on foot. Neighborhood watch isn't supposed to be a leisurely drive through the neighborhood with the air turned on and listening to tunes. lol
It's supposed to be on FOOT and the actual site of neighborhood watch guys walking the neighborhood is supposed to help as a deterrent.
He should have had another person with him as well, and they both should have been walking around the neighborhood.
The fact that is was raining may explain why he was alone and in a car. I don't know.
It's just a sad situation and I feel bad for TM's mom.
But I'm not wanting the federal govt. to start stepping in and going after people. Even if you think it's "justified" to do it for one case...it sets precedence.
A man was found "Not Guilty" and acquitted.
That should be it. Done. Even if black people don't like the verdict.
To think that the President can single a guy out and tell the DOJ to get him is something that we don't want in our country.
It is the exact opposite of the ideals of how our country is supposed to work.
The fact that this is just another example of the perversion of it by politicians is sadly becoming all too common.
EDIT: And think back to the mid 1990's. OJ is found Not Guilty. Majority of white people are outraged. Majority of blacks were happy. Remember the big black celebrations in the streets??? Didn't see any Hispanic or "White/Hispanic" street celebrations after the Zimmerman verdict did you?
Another thing you didn't see...You didn't see President Clinton go on television as "the Educator In Chief" and try to "calm" (or incite through race baiting) the white people in the country and have a "conversation" on race.
And Clinton didn't tell the DOJ to go after OJ either.
That's because Bill Clinton was a good President.
Obama is the first black President which makes him historical...and allows him to get away with damn near anything.
