Enjoy the .gov Ponzi scheme while you can...
The fact is: we still don’t know what kind of confrontation, if any, occurred. Little info has been let out by the police. I’m not saying Martin should have attacked Zimmerman for questioning him, if that’s what happened. I’m saying, if I’m walking through a strange neighborhood peacefully (at one point in my life, I did a lot of that) and someone comes and asks me what I’m doing, I’d tell them it’s none of their business. I certainly wouldn’t attack them like it sounds like Martin did to Zimmerman. But I would highly resent someone asking me what I was doing. You wouldn’t like it either. If I’m a NWV like Zimmerman, I report a strange person and leave it at that. That could be what Zimmerman did. But we still don’t know what happened. It’s all conjecture from this point.

We can match things up on the map with the 911 call pretty much step-by-step.
At a slow jogging pace, Trayvon is estimated to have arrived back at Brandy Green’s townhouse at around 2:40 on the 911 call.
Trayvon may have gone inside the townhouse, but it seems more likely that he remained outside to see if Zimmerman was still following him and just continued talking to his girlfriend over the next few minutes.
After a few minutes, Trayvon seems to have walked north, back up the sidewalk to confront Zimmerman about why he was followed...

Like I said previously - if I’m walking around in a strange neighborhood I DON’T resent someone asking me what I’m doing - I respect their right to be protective of their neighborhood. I simply tell them politely what it is I’m doing - taking a walk, going to a friend’s house, whatever it is.
If I am a NWV, I’m wanting to put a stop to the ongoing robberies. When the police show up, I want them to catch the guy, so I try to make sure I know where he is - if he goes out of my sight, I likely follow.
That’s exactly how I’ve dealt with similar situations in the past.
My point is - we don’t know everything that happened, but everything we know that Zimmerman did are the actions of a reasonable man where I come from. We don’t cower behind our “window treatments” while our neighborhood is systematicaly robbed, hoping the cops catch somebody soon.

On Trayvon Martin’s YouTube channel, two of the five videos posted are of teenagers boxing at his high school. There’s a tall teenager in a black and silver striped shirt who appears to be acting as a referee of sorts.
The cameraman on the first video says, “Watch out Trayvon, or I’ll slap you nigga.”

Children always think it’s as easy as that...

The Sanford Police Department removed much of the content from the Trayvon Martin Investigation page today, per the request of the State Attorney...It appears that the three main PDFs removed were these:
* Twin Lakes Shooting Initial Report
* George Zimmerman 911 Call History
* Burglary Reports
The Sanford police station intake videos are also now private on YouTube... Zimmerman’s emergency call and the other 911 calls are gone as well. So here they are, rehosted on a different YouTube account and synced with the proper timestamps for each.
In other news, a NBC producer has been let go after a scandal over the selective editing of George Zimmerman’s police call. Inside NBC, there was shock that the segment had been broadcast. Citing an anonymous network executive, Reuters reported that “the ‘Today’ show’s editorial control policies — which include a script editor, senior producer oversight and in most cases legal and standards department reviews of material to be broadcast — missed the selective editing of the call.” NBC appears to be backpedaling pretty quickly on their coverage. It seems like a lot of people had to “accidentally miss” such blatant changes to a police call; it doesn’t show much regard for depicting the events of the evening accurately.
