I'll keep this simple because you seem really stubborn, with a general lack of knowledge on the law (and I'm not even a US citizen, I live on another country and I seem to know it better than you) and have already made up your mind to be both morally outraged and lacking the moral fiber to argument something less barbaric and/or idiotic than "duh, he killed a KID in cold blood, i hope he gets raped/killed!!!1111!"
So, lets begin:
Bad person (lair, violent, whatever adjective you have for Zimmerman) ≠ Racially motivated murderer.
Fire marshal ≠ 911 dispatcher
911 dispatchers can't give you lawful orders, only make suggestions (as they're usually civilians, not law enforcement officers [and the state has already pronounced on this matter, maybe you should read about it]) and cannot forbid something that's not illegal for being idiotic (something like, I don't know, following a stranger on your neighborhood, certainly idiotic but by no means ilegal).
Not that I like Zimmerman, I think he's a piece of crap, but I dislike the media and people that spin this as "he killed a black kid, lets kill him also", and I do think that legally there was no other possible veredict for the trial given the known facts of the case and how he was overcharged (he should be serving time for manslaughter, but that's another issue), idiotic opinions like those of Al Sharpton and Geraldo Rivera aside.
All I can simply tell you is no, you're wrong. This will all boil down to what I said earlier. Zimmerman called the Police, an authorative, he said he would follow the shady character and they told him not to. in terms of the law and legality Zimmerman is accountable for not following the directions of an officer and in some states that's a misdemeanor. Example:
-Cop tells you to step back from a burning vehicle, you don't, car explodes, you die. Your fault.
-Cop tells you to step back when someone is on the roof looking to jump. You don't, person jumps and lands on you. You die. Your fault.
-Cop tells you to get out of the street as there is a gunman loose, you don't, you're shot. You die. Your fault.
-Cop tells you not to put yourself in a situation that is potentially dangerous for you and others. You don't listen, someone dies. Your fault.
Get the picture? It isn't over that he killed him, which he did, but it's over to where he put himself in the situation and was told not to. Zimmerman isn't a citizen in my eyes, he's a criminal. Lying to Police, lying to his lawyers, lying on the stand (perjury is a class E Felony), theft, embezzlement and now aggravated assault.
Let's say we believed him before about what all happened with the shooting incident, but then you find out he lied about taking money. If he lied about something such as taking money, perhaps he lied about how the shooting went down. It doesn't take a genius to find that a liar is a liar and everything that they say has to be looked at carefully.
You're also wrong about dispatchers being
just civilians; they are an integrated part of the system and without them the system will not work. They act in a capacity in which an officer would if you called an officer on the phone. They give you directions, such as CPR, or what to do in another emergency. If you dial 9-1-1 you are calling what you know is an organization that is responsible for safety response and not the local bakery. Let's also not forget that crank calling these 'civilians' is illegal. While they may not have the authoritative capability of an officer, they are still just as effective in telling you not to play in traffic.
I never said Zimmerman was a racially motivated killer. That one's all you.
