I’m quite familiar with Florida rain. I’m also quite familiar with the facts in this case, and your tendency to avoid them. You still refuse to explain how Martin and Zimmerman came to be together after Martin had a running head start. Stomping your feet and insisting the facts don’t matter isn’t a very convincing argument. If you want to convince me that Zimmerman’s version of events is wrong, tell me something that sheds doubt on his story. Give me a theory on some other way it could have possibly happened. Don’t just give me some nonsense about Martin being more afraid of getting wet than he was of someone trying to kill him.

Martin hid somewhere, which accounts for Zimmerman telling the 911 personnel that he was no longer in sight, and then came back behind Zimmerman after he was returning to his car.

I'm not stomping my feet, I'm pulling my hair out in frustration.

Okay, let's try this...

Look at the above map. The walkway is "T" shaped with the short top part of the "T" running between two streets: Twin Trees and Retreat View Circle. The back entrance to the complex is on Retreat View Circle. Zimmerman was on Twin Trees. He told the police dispatcher that he thought the suspicious person (Martin) was heading towards the back entrance.

It seems logical that Zimmerman would follow that top portion of the "T" over to Retreat View Circle ... but didn't see Martin running down the street towards the back entrance like it thought he would ... he thought he had lost him.

Meanwhile, Martin had actually turned onto the longer part of the "T" walkway, the one that ran through the backyards of the buildings. I believe the father's girlfriend lived in the last one on the right side. Maybe he had seen Zimmerman continue on to Retreat View Circle and felt safe enough to take temporary shelter from the pouring rain under one of the covered porches (apartment building entryways).

A frustrated/disappointed Zimmerman turns around and heads back to Twin Trees. Maybe he sees movement under one of the porches ... maybe on a whim he decides to check out the longer section of the walkway. Since the incident happened on that longer section, somehow or another he got there.
