It's up to the individual... but by no means should society ever impose such an obligation on anyone. Personally I hate the idea, never in my life have I allowed myself to be intimidated like this.

Personally... I will walk my proud ass down to the local shop or takeaway whenever I feel like. If some thugs don't like it then fuck them. I don't go looking for a fight, just to get milk or a pizza.

I don't know if this guy... "Zimmerman" got out of his car especially looking to confront Trayvon. What was Trayvon doing to provoke something like this? Perhaps what did Zimmerman do to provoke Trayvon into starting a fight? I've no clue... but the way you worded that post made me cringe.
Let me try to ease your cringing Zimmerman saw Trayvon walking around his neighborhood at night and called the cops because Zimmerman did not know Trayvon and he matched the description of a suspect committing robberies in the area. Now Zimmerman was trying to keep Trayvon in his line of sight during this call, something which he was capable of doing from inside his car. For whatever dumbass reason Zimmerman decided to get out of his car to follow the 6 foot tall young kid who he probably should have known could kick his ass. I get why Zimmerman called the cops, that's fine. But getting out of his car led to the confrontation that cost Trayvon his life. It was a stupid move that I can't for the life of me understand, and I believe it makes him responsible for the fact that he ended up shooting the kid.
