"...he was legally bound to avoid the situation as the police ordered him to stand down..."

Zimmerman said he was following the suspect and the dispatcher said "we don't need you to do that."

First, that is a suggestion, not an order to "stand down".

Second, it came from the dispatcher (not a cop) who has no authority to order a civilian to do anything. Besides, Zimmerman was the authorized neighborhood watchman at that time.


"...I can't understand this f up stand your ground law. You have a duty to avoid such situations...

The man who wrote the Stand Your Ground law says it does not apply in this case. The district attorney, all the lawyers involved in the case, and most of the national pundits say the Stand Your Ground has nothing to do with this case. Why do so many Mudcatters even bring it up?
