Or even just stand around, or maybe come up and just talk to the guy? Why did he have to beat him?

When George came up behind him, that is exactly what Trayvon did. He asked him "Why are you following me for?"

Wait wait, her testimony doesn't necessarily contradict Zimmerman's. When did he ever outright claim he did not follow TM. You can believe both sides.

It is an unarmed person breaking in and assaulting an armed person, how is it different? Other than being inside a house.

No, he's a good boy.

Really he is.

1000 deaths per year is what exactly?

When I was 17 no 205 pounder chasing me was gonna catch me. There must be a lotta former fat kids on this forum.

I missed this, he did? What happened after? Where was this stated during the trial?

When the jury returns a "Not Guilty" verdict...

Should they be concerned about possible threats and violence on their person or home ?

He didn't, and I am not saying he didn't follow Trayvon. I don't think there was ever a "confrontation". I think the 1st contact they had was when Trayvon attacked George.

We're going in circles. All we have is Zimmerman's testimony. We don't know what was going through TM's mind. I spoke to my background and why I would respond the way TM did, not out of malice, but because I do not trust anyone following me for no reason.
