He got out of the car.

Our neighborhood watch never gets out of the car. They call the cops. The only way anyone in our neighborhood watch would get out of the car is to stop an ongoing crime. While Martin may have been acting suspicious, there was no indication of an actual crime going on. So, Zimmerman should have stayed in the car. Some people may disagree and say that Zimmerman was just being proactive, but I am sure that others will learn from this event.

He was on the way to the store when he saw a person behaving suspiciously. Anyone - neighborhood watch or not - would call it in. GZ called 911. If you watch his reenactment for the Sanford PD he explains why he went down the walkway... he reasoned it would be the street sign the PD would need.

Should he have driven down the sidewalk between the buildings?

Nothing NOTHING justifies TM’s attack.

Our neighborhood

This was not your neighborhood.

If you watched the trial, Olivia Bertalan, a neighbor, testified that 6 months before the shooting she was the victim of a home invasion. She testified how she had knelt in a closet terrified, as the invaders stole her belongings. She told the court about George coming to her home after the police left and gave her his number, his wife's number and told her to call them for anything. I believe he even gave her a lock for her door to help keep her more secure. Zimmerman wasn't the average neighborhood watch guy and his neighborhood wasn't your average neighborhood; it was a complex under attack and he was a caring and compassionate neighbor.

I would consider myself lucky to have George Zimmerman in my neighborhood because I know he wouldn't just wait in his car, he'd do everything he could to help me.
