So is this about race or “authority”? If he had a white brother, do you have more right to champion this social outrage, or does he?
It is my understanding that a neighborhood watch guy has exactly 0 more power than a regular guy.[/quote]
If he has zero power, why is he questioning anyone? Trayvon deserves every right to defend himself against some jackass trying to restrain him for questioning if they have no power.[/quote]
Cause anyone can ask anyone questions.
I question anyone I see around my house that I don’t know and I always carry a gun when I do it too.[/quote]
That’s Your house. Unless you are doing this for your neighborhood, that isn’t much of a point. [/quote]
Around my house includes the street and other houses.[/quote]
Yeah, and your “authority” doesn’t include any other property than your own unless your neighbors gave you permission to “defend” their houses against non-intruders.
I have great neighbors. Dude called me when I left my garage door up one night. THAT is being a good neighbor.
If he started questioning my friends when they visit, NO.[/quote]
I share property with one of them. And what I do doesn’t require the permission of my neighbors.[/quote]
?
I don’t know if you are just arguing just do it or what, but again, you do NOT have the right to restrain and question someone who is NOT on your property when they are doing nothing wrong but walking down a public street.
I hope you know this already.
Being a good neighbor is noticing that a strange man is looking into your neighbor’s window and climbing in so you call the police.
It is not about running up to people walking and questioning what they are doing there.[/quote]
Who ever mentioned anything about restraining anyone? Do we know Zimmerman did that? No? then what are you talking about?
And it depends, in my situation walking up and asking “looking for somewhere or someone?” is a perfectly reasonable and neighborly thing to do.
