I know if someone were following me, I would get out of dodge asap. I would try to lose them and maybe call 911 to report a susicious person following me and a need for help. I would not confront them as they could be on drugs, drunk, crazy or carry a gun. They could be a wacko Twitter follower of Spike Lee or Roseanne Barr who want to terrorize me because they are leftists who like to be vigilantes. Know what I mean?
The Trayvon crusaders here are fond of posing questions, and trying to shift the burden onto Zimmerman. You alluded to something they can never answer:
If Martin felt threatened why didn’t he call the police?
I have a couple more:
Why didn’t Zimmerman just pull up alongside Martin in his truck if he wanted to confront Martin?
How did Zimmerman initiate the final confrontation when he couldn’t find Martin?
Running then calling the police would seem to have been logical. IF he really felt threatened.
"How did Zimmerman initiate the final confrontation when he couldn’t find Martin?"
That is the big question. AFAIK this is the only account out there. From Zimmerman's father: ""He called the non-emergency number first, and they asked him where he was. Because he was at the rear of the townhouses and there was no street sign," Zimmerman said. Even though a dispatcher told Zimmerman not to follow Martin, his father says he continued walking to locate an address to give to police.
"He lost sight of the individual, he continued to walk down the same sidewalk to the next street so he could get an address for the police. He went to the next street, realized where he was, and was walking to his vehicle," Zimmerman said.
That's when Robert Zimmerman says Trayvon Martin walked up to George Zimmerman."
