TRUE motivation by Zimmerman for pulling that trigger

Ummm, somebody beating my brains out on a sidewalk and nobody answering my long barrage of screaming for help would certainly "Motivate" most people to defend themselves with whatever means they had....knife, pistol, knitting needle,maze, whatever...out it would come.

Proceeding on foot was perfectly lawful for Zimmerman to do. The "confrontation" you are citing apparently occurred while Zimmerman was walking back to his vehicle, after having abandoned any pursuit (or following) of Martin. No person needs to consult with any "authority" in order to move freely about his own neighborhood.

Once Zimmerman stepped out of his vehicle he had overstepped the bounds of his authority. Even the police dispatcher told him to remain where he was and NOT follow Martin

These are the facts and everyone is in agreement with them.

The question that must be answered is WHY Zimmerman decided he had leave his vehicle and step in motion the chain of events that resulted in the taking of a life of an unarmed person

Can anyone of you Zimmerman supporters explain why Zimmerman decided to leave the safety of his warm truck and move towards Martin?
