According to the special prosecutor and other reports, Zimmerman turned himself in and then was subsequently arrested on the 2nd degree murder charge that was issued today.
The process wasn't really "short circuited" though. Under Florida law, he should not have been arrested. Police often don't know the law and make an arrest anyway, but these cops apparently called the state attorney's office first and were appraised as to what the actual law says. Zimmerman's biggest mistake was staying quite in the face of the media lynching. Once that started, the law went out the window and this case became all about politics. Zimmerman should have played the race card himself and rallied Floirda's considerable Hispanic community to his side. If he had made it a black vs Hispanic thing, he would have stood a good chance of avoiding charges as Hispanics are more powerful in Florida. He and his lawyers instead chose the "noble" course, and as a result his life is over.
At the time I posted that is what was showing on TV.. Hence.. "Breaking: NBC News...." The special prosecutor had not spoken at that time. Thanks for the correction.
In America today there remains two factions.
The Federalist and the Anti-Federalist.
Neither of the two dominating political parties belong to the latter.
You can't be one and the other..

I do not put Israel first, running around trying to make war everywhere. I am not a Republican.
Bentonism is the playing down of Ron Paul’s most popular and important ideas, the impatience with and purging of people who champion those ideas, and an obsessive eye to GOP respectability. Is that what the “liberty movement” is? Then count me out. ~ Tom Woods

They might not have the "authority" but a NW better damn well listen. A NW is taught that they are to "observe and report"- this is not rocket science. Zimmerman was told that the cops were on their way and they didn't need him to follow.
There is no spoon.
Yeah, I don't get how that is so hard to understand, the entire reason they told him he wasn't needed was to avoid a situation where someone might end up dead.
Two cups of tea
One for hope and one for peace
Watching government lies
