The dispatcher never asked "where is he going" "can you see him" or "now where did he go." Will you be able to figure out the proper use of quotes sometime today or ever?
Zimmerman was asked to report what Trayvon was doing during the moments that Zimmerman indicated he was approaching him and had something in his hands. Obviously, the dispatcher was concerned for Zimmerman's immediate safety during those moments. After Zimmerman reported he had fled those concerns vanished. The dispatcher asked in which direction Trayvon ran. The dispatcher made it clear that he was not asking Zimmerman to follow and George continued to do what he was doing. He did not stop and return to his vehicle. The only change was to his story about why he left his car.
Grammar Nazi ?....asked zimmerman questions to the effect of "where is he going, what is he doing now", "Can you see him?", "Now where did he go?" The only way you can answer these questions is by following someone. It's essentially implied.
Does the omission of the quote marks make a difference ?...the caveat is there "to the effect of".....
Obviously, the dispatcher was concerned for Zimmerman's immediate safety ?.....thats not obvious at all and you can't know that...
The dispatcher made it clear that he was not asking Zimmerman to follow ?....That too is not obvious nor is it even implied
The dispatcher asked in which direction Trayvon ran....GZ went in search of house numbers and street names(it was dark)a perfectly understandable action to take.
Your spin might help you live with your version of events and your preconceived guilt of Zimmermann.....its the ostrich syndrome....
