But GZ put himself in position to where he ended up "having" to shoot him. First, if he would have just stayed in his vehicle, like the 911 operator told him to do, then we wouldn't be having this conversation.

It was a rainy evening in the winter and he sees someone walking with a hood on, and calls 911. How hard would it have been for him to pass by him, stop and say "you need a ride somewhere?" At that point he would be able to get a feel if it was someone who was trying to get home and get out the rain or someone who was up to no good. But he was a habitual 911 caller so that's the first thing he went with.

Residents in the said gated community said there had been dozens of reports of attempted break-ins and would-be burglars casing homes.

7 months before the incident a black teenager stole a bicycle off the Zimmermans' porch

5 months before the Trayvon incident two young black men broke into the house of Olivia Bertalan, Zimmerman's neighbor, while she was in the house. She hid upstairs and called the police while the two men tried to steal her TV. When the police arrived, they fled. One of them ran through the Zimmermans' yard.

The next month, because of all the burglaries, several residents of the neighborhood asked the neighborhood association to create a neighborhood watch and Zimmerman was asked to run it.

The next month, two more houses in the neighborhood were robbed.

3 weeks before the incident, Zimmerman spotted a young black man looking into the windows of a neighbor's house. He called the police and said "I don't know what he's doing. I don't want to approach him, personally." By the time the police finally arrived, the man was gone.

4 days later another house was burglarized. Witnesses said two of the robbers were black teenagers. One of them was soon caught with a laptop stolen from the house. He turned out to be the same man Zimmerman had previously reported looking in windows.

Zimmerman's black neighbor was quoted as saying "Let's talk about the elephant in the room. I'm black, OK? There were black boys robbing houses in this neighborhood. That's why George was suspicious of Trayvon Martin."

Many of the perpetrators of the prior burglaries and thefts were apparently never caught.

Also, when he got out to go look for TM. If there was a threat of a physical altercation, why not let him know that he had a gun and had the upper hand? That would have prevented an altercation (this I can only assume, because I don't know how that part all went down. We just know the two ended up in a physical altercation, which lead to TM hitting GZ with a cement brick which then lead to GZ shooting TM.

There were several opportunities for GZ to not take it to where it went.

Once again, read the transcript. He said nothing about not wanting to meet the officers at the gate. He gave instructions on where he was past the gate and the dispatcher seemed to be ok with that too.

If TM really wanted to find out where GZ lived, it wouldn't have been that hard.
