You misunderstand, in my opinion. I am stating that George did not seek a confrontation with Trayvon. If he did not seek a confrontation, he would have stayed in the truck. I am saying that there is cause for George to be concerned about people roaming his neighborhood. The roaming judgement is unfair. The concern about crime in the neighborhood is fair. The crime stats and his fellow neighbors own testimonies point to a neighborhood gripped with fear. It is my assertion that based on Trayvon's recent behavior he put himself in a bad spot. Once again, how does his his prior behavior affect him walking to the 7Eleven to buy a snack and returning to the place he was staying? He had every right to do so. I pointed out Martin's participation and his own chronicling of his involvement in "organized fighting" leads me to conclude that it was he who wound up being the aggressor. Martin might have been the aggressor, but he was certainly provoked by an adult male following him around in the dark. He had been recently fighting and also took a swing at a bus driver. I concluded that he turned on George and quickly realized that he could beat George's ass, and he proceeded to do so. I believe Zimmerman only asked him "what are you doing?" or some variation.Which is a fine question if you pass someone on the street, but after you've been following someone in the dark, in your car and then on foot, it gets creepy.
