What? It was dark. Zimmerman followed someone who was apparantly just walking down the street/sidewalk. After following him in a vehicle, Zimmerman leaves the vehicle, follows Martin, then confronts him, most likely in a hostile manner.
Are you telling me that if you were walking down the street at night and a car creeps along behind you for awhile, then a person jumps out of the vehicle and comes toward you quickly, that you wouldn't be alarmed or even scared? You wouldn't consider what that person did a potentially dangerous act? Obviously it was, as it set off a string of events that left Trayvon dead.
This whole thing occurred because Zimmerman was overzealous in his "neighborhood watch" duties. Had he heeded the instructions of the 911 operator, the situation would have been handled by proper law enforcement, not some vigilante with a hard-on for protecting the neighborhood.
