But the THC-paranoid child Trayvon had doubled back, and snuck up on Mr. Zimmerman before he could get to his car. Then the altercation occurred, with long-lasting consequences for the 12-year-old choirboy, I mean the 17-year-old burglar-thug. That's what I recall.

Succinctly -- and, from what I understand, correctly -- put. What you just described is what the totality of the evidence indicates happened. Zimmerman didn't "profile" anyone. If anything, the "racial profiling" that occurred in this incident was perpetrated by Martin, who apparently copped an attitude that a "creepy ass cracker" would dare take an interest in Martin's casing the houses to see which ones he might want to try to break into.
Zimmerman didn't "confront" anyone. Martin, having doubled-back (perhaps goaded to do so by his "girlfriend" to whom he was talking on his cell phone?), confronted Zimmerman and, like the little punk that he was, sucker-punched Zimmerman sans any provocation (unless "neighborhood watchman while white Hispanic" constitutes provocation).
Martin figured he'd make easy work of the pudgy Barney Fife-wannabe. Except that Barney's one bullet wasn't in his pocket this time. Fortunately for Zimmerman, it was in the chamber. And it was a great shot, under the circumstances, it seems to me.
The foregoing is the reality of the situation, as I see it. That the race-baiters and the Black Grievance Industry types would try to create a fantastical separate reality is par for the course.
