Because Zimmerman wasn't "chasing down" anybody. You are intentionally misrepresenting that.
Zimmerman called the police. He was on Neighborhood Watch Patrol in an area that had been burglarized repeatedly. You know that already.
GZ got out and followed him. My GUESS is that he didn't want the guy walking up in people's yards at night wearing a hoodie to get out of his site while the cops were on the way.
Stupid to do in HINDSIGHT. For all GZ knew...TM could have had a gun and turned and killed him. Instead TM told his girlfriend on the phone about a "crazy ass cracker" (he was profiling GZ erroneously) and his girlfriend told him to hurry home and get away from him.
TM decided to man up and confront the guy following him. But he did it aggressively.
You keep typing that TM was "chased down" over and over. But that still doesn't make it true.
First of all, if TM wanted to...he could have started doing a light jog and fat fuck GZ would have collapsed from exhaustion.
But he didn't.
At that point, TM was pissed and wanted to fight. And that's what happened. A fight. And he got shot.
No, the fat, short, hispanic guy didn't "chase down" the tall, lean, athletic black guy.
Even if he tried to he couldn't.
Hell, he looks like he's out of breath just walking into the courtroom.
