From the info given,it sounds he didnt have situational awareness. Neighborhood watch is suppost to be observe and report. He was told by police dispatchers to break off following the scumbag but continued doing so{ Police dispatchers are agents for the police}. He blundered into a situation he wasnt prepared or trained for.
I have a CCW.I am aware of what I can and cant do with it. I am prepared for fight but I dont actively go out looking for one. It sounds like he was looking for a fight. But then facts keep leaking out so I may be wrong and in that case I will change my opinion.

(a) Mr. Zimmerman was on his way to the store, not on neighborhood watch duty when he spotted Mr. Martin and (b) as I understand it, he was on the phone to the non-emergency police number, not 911 as most people believe and (c) from the transcripts I’ve heard he wasn’t “stalking” Mr. Martin, merely watching him to see what he was up to when he was blindsided. You do realize that little Trayvon was suspended from school for acts that would’ve landed him in jail where you and I live, right? Therefore, he’d probably still be alive today.

In fact the dispatcher said "we don't need you to do that." Which was merely stating it wasn't NECESSARY which is not the same thing as an order.

Even if the dispatcher did try to ORDER Zimmerman not to follow, so what? The police have no legal power to give that kind of order.

If I was a cop who lived in your neighborhood, maybe I should stop by your house every day and tell your wife to make me a sandwich and tell your kid to wash my car.
