Also again, that entire post was speculation.
Trayvon approached and talked to Zimmerman First. You don't know if his gun was visible. And asking someone a question, is legal.
Let me ask you this. Why do you want this to be a racial issue? Why do you want Zimmerman to be evil and be found guilty?
He did, and was trying to maintain visual on him until the cops came. Just before Martin approached him, he had stated to the police that he didn't know where Trayvon went.

Yes however he could have stayed in his car and still had followed him. Leaving his car was just stupidity, there was no reason to follow Trayvon on foot. And honestly I can't understand what the thought process would have been, Trayvon was bigger than him, and so he must of thought, well I have my gun if he tries anything. But Trayvon wouldn't have been able to kick his ass if he had stayed in his car. I think that's what frustrates me so much at this point, if Zimmerman hadn't made some stupid mistakes this wouldn't have happened. And he's going to have to live with those mistakes for the rest of his life, this man is the new Casey Anthony, his life is NEVER going to be the same. I suggest a name change and getting the hell out of dodge once he's officially cleared, and he will be. Can't arrest someone for stupidity unfortunately, and while I do think he should be charged with manslaughter, because of HIS injuries from that night the self defense case is just too strong. While I'm not thoroughly convinced Zimmerman didn't instigate the fight, there's no way to prove it and it is obvious that at the time of the shot Zimmerman was acting in his own defense.
