------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Very sad. What you say is fact. But so many posters here have so much fear of this boy. They show pictures of fake gold teeth that Trayvon wear for joke. His friends know he is not wearing real gold teeth and not wearing this teeth always. He is 17 years old teenager and he is making stupid pictures to laugh. No posters talk about his mother go to college and have job for 23 years. No one talk about his father have job driving truck. No one talk about his brother is freshman in college. No one talk about Trayvon talking on the internet to prepare for the college. You tell me if the "gangster" teenager will go to the prom from his high school. Trayvon go to his prom. "Mad responses from paranoid jerk offs" Geraldo Rivera
Dang , you're right zimmerman was an idiot: he would have gotten away with it if he had just popped him in the back then followed up with 2 shots to the head and foregone the side show of calling the cops first. Doing Darwin's work :culling the herd one to a time.

There is something about this whole thing that has bothered me from the start. It goes directly to who started the confrontation. As I understand it, Zimmerman lost track of Martin at some point. That was when he got out of his verhicle. He says he went around the townhouses to get the address. I suppose the state will dispute that, although if he was on the phone with 911, I don't see how they can. Anyway, if Martin had eluded him and was only a couple of houses from his father's girlfriend's place, why didn't he just go there? Is it physically possible that if he was heading there that Zimmerman could have intercepted him? If not, then it seems logical that Martin must have inititated contact with Zimmerman. Now that doesn't necessarily mean he started the fight, but it does discredit the idea that Zimmerman somehow chased him down.
I only looked briefly at the map, but it looks like Martin wasn't exactly making a stright line back home. Maybe someone else can correct me.
I don't recall seeing or hearing about Z losing track of T in the police account of the event. The thing that really bothers me is just that he could have, and should have, just stayed in the truck as advised. The cops were on the way. Not much question that Z initiated the contact by following T.
I think you are right. It seems Martin either doubled back to confront Zimmerman or he hid in wait for him. Otherwise, he would have been long gone and home before Zimmerman ever made it into the area between the condos.
