Well, if I thought someone was pursuing me, and then that person confronted me, and I saw that he was armed, I would run away... but I’m not 6’3” nor a teenaged boy.
If you’re planning to jump someone, why run away from him? Unless you’re planning to lure him into a trap... But then, why do that in front of homes with witnesses and so close to your father’s house? It. Makes. No. Sense.
First off it wasn’t his father’s house. Second, if someone is following you and you are uncomfortable about it, use the cell phone to call the cops and then go home quickly. Its risky to swing around and attack the person from behind.
Who said Martin was planning to jump Zimmerman? Other than you.

Pride, self-defense, anger, retribution.
Don’t rule anything out until everything is disclosed.
