For those interested in the available factual information, much of it is here. The local authorities have done a decent job of making the evidence in this case available to the public, unlike most of the media, which seems primarily interested in whipping up an enraged mob rather than assembling and reporting the facts.

In addition to that, here are a couple of news reports from local stations before this became a racialist cause celebe. They seem much better than anything we are seeing now. One includes the report from the guy who saw Trayvon on top of Zimmerman pummeling him.

The news reports coming out now seem designed primarily to whip up a racialist frenzy, rather than throw light on the events.
Now, there isn’t “a report that Zimmerman had actually quit following Martin and was returning to his vehicle” - there is the statement of Zimmerman to the 911 operator as he is walking around the complex that he had lost sight of Martin. Listen to the first 911 call at the first link.
