I don't have any idea what was in Zimmerman's mind that night, or Martin's either.
Know what? NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE.
Beyond the short five-item list that Tamara posted and I copied to this thread, I don't really know what happened that night. And I'm not sure she got the part about the phone call right. I seem to recall reading somewhere that Zimmerman's call was to a non-emergency, admin number and not to 9-1-1, but I'm subject to correction on that detail.
What everything revolves around is what happened in the ??? stage on that list. And once again, the people behind all the large-caliber mouths being shot off out there in the media and political world DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THEN EITHER. They are engaging in Olympic level conclusion jumping, which is in turn leading to a genuinely dangerous level of incitement.
If no one else gets killed because of the excesses of the various news media, political and religious "leaders," and assorted punditry who have engaged in such untoward behavior it will be a real surprise at this point.

Trayvonnosaurus Rex
by Jim Goad
March 26, 2012
According to the police report of his murder on the night of February 26, Trayvon Martin stood exactly six feet tall. In death, he has become a hundred times larger.
I believe that’s because crass opportunists are using his corpse as a political Macy’s Parade balloon.
I could be wrong, you know. Unlike a lot of mouths spouting off about the events leading to Trayvon’s murder at the hands of George Zimmerman on that rainy Sunday night in the seedy little gator-hunting town of Sanford, FL, I don’t claim to know what happened. That’s because I wasn’t there. More importantly, I don’t claim to know WHY it happened. That’s because I wasn’t inside the killer’s mind.
