Why didn’t he go home, he asks?
Because Rachael egged him to take Zimmerman down.
That’s what I think too...
"A brotha's gots to build his street cred fo' his ho'..."
I don't think she did. I think she told the truth about that part.
SO.... why did Trayvon, safely 'home' leave and go back to where he would run into George Zimmerman ?
Just to beat on him ? NOPE. That wasn't the plan.
Trayvon had to go back to where he hid from George , when George first sighted him, which was the bushes where they found the burglary tool described by Detective Serino.
It would be 'evidence' and besides he needed it back. So, he goes back to get it, and guess WHO is walking by on the sidewalk while Trayvon is in the bushes hunting for his burglary tool?
Good Ole George. Well, now, Trayvon is in a jam. Same guy is back and too close. Guy was on the phone and probably called the cops. This guy can now ID him better, being closer. WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO.
Jump out, sucker punch him, take his phone in case he had video and so he can't call police after you beat him into unconsciousness. Then go find the burglary tool and beat it home before the cops do arrive.
EXCEPT, the plan went awry because George had a gun.
