Why didn't George Zimmerman try starting a conversation with Trayvon Martin instead of killing him?

57. Trayvon walked BY Zimmerman's truck

Here is a map of the subdivision:


Trayvon cut through between two of the town houses at the NW corner (upper right) George was driving down that road (George lived at the SW corner) and saw Trayvon cutting through. George drove on up to the clubhouse across from the north gate into the sibdivision. He sat there, talking to the Sanford PD operator as Trayvon continued up the road, passed him, then took shelter under the roof over the mailboxes next to the clubhouse. From where Trayvon would have emerged onto the road at the cut through to the mailboxes is roughly 400 feet and at a normal walking pace would have taken 90 seconds to travel. At 1 minute and 16 seconds into George's call, George says "he's coming to check me out."

Trayvon was just walking past George who was sitting in his truck all that time. Then he took shelter from the rain and watched George continue to sit there, telling Rachel Jeantel about the creepy ass cracker who was watching him. Then Trayvon started walking on down the road and George followed in his truck so Trayvon ran. He was still headed towards his father's fiance's townhouse and taking the most direct route home.

After the operator told him not to follow I don't think George was pursuing Trayvon on foot - I think he drove towards the back gate to cut off that escape route. I think he ended up frightening Trayvon away from his safe haven - Trayvon could have seen George's truck cat the end of the block,the end of the sidewalk Trayvon was walking down. I think Trayvon doubled back towards the T and I think George saw Trayvon turning back and drove back to intercept him.

Rachel Jeantel testified that Trayvon said he was almost home then that the creepy guy was back. I think he said that when he saw George's truck at the end of the block.
