In reply to the discussion: Here's my problem. Can someone explain why Martin would attack Z if Z was doing nothing wrong? [View all]Just Saying

No, he didn't saunter home, he continued his conversation. I think he was more freaked out then frightened but once he didn't see Z and his place was in sight he relaxed. Kids think they're invincible and I'm sure he didn't realize just how dangerous (and armed) Zimmerman was.
Where do you get this 100 yard gap stuff? I've seen any number of possible paths and a couple that show Z in front of Trayvon-between him and the place he was staying. I can't really respond to whatever theory you're basing your stuff on without more info.
Trayvon could have been annoyed AND scared. But we don't really know. We do know from the tape that Z was annoyed. I can speculate as you did that Z tried to physically restrain Trayvon and that's how the altercation started. And I think that makes more sense with what we know for sure happened.
There are maps showing all the locations- google it. I've seen several but as far as the path taken between the buildings that each man took, we really don't know.
