  1. because Zimmerman was not a stranger in Trayvon's neighborhood. And let's just assume that Trayvon did feel a little bit of a threat being followed, so then he is justified for verbally and physically confronting him?

    I would say that if someone is creeping up/following me that I'm justified to defend myself via verbal confrontation.

  2. He didn't profile anyone. An unknown person was walking through the backside of a community that had been having robberies, he was unknown and therefore suspicious. Zimmerman followed him, he didn't confront him. Zimmerman called police. He was confronted by Martin, not the other way around.

    If you were being followed by an unknown and suspicious person, you wouldn't want to turn around and confront the person? Maybe get defensive about it?

  3. Just curious, at what point did GZ overstep his bounds? Does anyone have a problem with him calling the police? Obviously getting out of the car set things in motion but there is dispute about whether he headed back to his car or if he followed Martin the entire time.

    When he confronted Trayvon is when he officially went too far. Following him I guess you can say he was doing his due diligence as a neighborhood watch guy (and I say that very liberally) but confronting the kid for walking through his neighborhood is the line that was crossed in my opinion.
