I would think any newer vehicle that's shot in any window (besides the windshield) would instantly shatter in a million little glass cubes. That picture might be photoshopped
I notice that Z has had several other run-ins with the same perp over the last year. This story is leaving out a lot of info about them both. There is a lot more to this story. It isn't some unknown guy just shooting at Z; they've had run-ins and maybe some stalking before. As I've said many times, Z should receive only narrowly construed support from the Right. He's a loose cannon and a lib voter. We shouldn't make a hero out of him over the Trayvon stuff.
I don't get how this man became a cause celeb on the right. He stalcked a young person first - he initiated the events of that night by following someone. Was his head being beaten into the ground? Probably - but did not Trayvon not have a right to also stand his ground against someone who is following him - if a stranger is following you in a vehicle it is initiating a hostile act. Also, Zim was not neighborhood watch in any form. Neighborhood watches wear identifying clothing and car markings - if not any rapist can claim he is a neighborhood watch and stalk women and detain them. I think there was a case a decade or so ago where a woman refused to pull over for an unmarked police car with an non uniformed police officer inside because of that - there were cases of rapists pulling that stunt. I think a lot of people in America are fed up on black urban culture - black males in particular - that they got their jollies from the notion a 'young punk' got killed. The black leaders - if there are any left - should realize that the precieved behavior of blacks also contributes to hostility against them as a people. Not fair and not right but that is reality for minorities of all stripes and colors - just ask Italians who still labor under the mafia smear - even though some Italians who ar enot mobsters play off on it the way non gangbanging blacks play off on the gangsta culture.
It is not a right not to be followed. Stalking must include some indication or history of menace. We don't have a right not to be followed by a peaceful person (or a cop) even if we don't like it. He was head of the neighborhood watch and a main organizer of it and the main contact person with the local police for the watch group. There was a rapist a few years back in Georgia, I think. He had a rig with convincing light display and a fake siren. After it happened a few times, the women would not longer stop for a cop with lights/siren except at very public and well-lit places like a convenience shop or truck stop where they felt safe. The cops even told the public not to pull over at the roadside but to proceed to a public lighted area to stop for a policeman. Georgia has a lot of police impersonators, it seems. I think this is the guy they were after, not sure if they ever caught him. The man handcuffed and put her in the back of his vehicle, where he sexually assaulted her. He did not display a gun, police said. The vehicle, which may have been a Ford Crown Victoria, had blue lights on the interior of the windshield. The victim does not remember seeing lights on the outside of the vehicle, police said. The car had vinyl seats but no prisoner cage. The man is described as a white man in his 30s or 40s who is between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall with a medium build. He has gray or white short hair and a dark-colored shorter beard. Police said the fake officer was wearing sunglasses, a dark-blue, long-sleeved uniform with no patches, a gold star-shaped badge, a gold name tag with numbers on it and a "police belt" with handcuffs and a baton with a handle, possibly a PR-24 style. The victim did not see a radio or gun on the belt. Carrollton police are asking drivers to be look out for the vehicle. Drivers who believe they are being pulled over by someone who may not be a police officer should call 911 and drive to a well-lit location before stopping, police said.
I said it initiated a hostile act - you don't have a right not to be stared at but if someone is staring at you it is a hostile act. So Zimmerman - who is not a patrol of any kind - no windbreaker saying he is NW nor any markings on his vehicle - starts to stare and follow a kid at night. That is a hostile act.
You may consider it hostile or rude but it isn't illegal. Otherwise, hot women would have guys arrested constantly for staring at them in a creepy way. In a free country, you have the right to stare. It was at night so Trayvon couldn't have seen if Z was staring or not. He could see a vehicle that seemed to be following him slowly. But Trayvon was also idling around in an area with a lot of recent burglaries which is suspicious behavior. Z did not have to have a magic windbreaker or ID or anything else. Very few neighborhood watch programs have anything like that and the police don't encourage that. Mostly, these watch programs are people watching out a window of a house or car, snapping a few photos (yes, that's also legal), and being alert to strangers and suspicious behavior. That includes some perfectly legal staring at suspicious people too.

When Zim got out of his vehicle it is a resonable assumption that the followee is feeling under threat.

Carrollton police said a dark-colored, four-door vehicle with dark tinted windows and blue lights pulled over a female driver between the Valley View Lane and Valwood Parkway exits between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. last Thursday.

It is not a right not to be followed.
