Detective Serino brought up an interesting point that, for me, brings up an interesting question. If Trayvon Martin really confronted George Zimmerman and said, "You got a problem homey?" why didn't Zimmerman say, "No, I am a neighbor watchman and I was just wondering what you were doing."

Why would Zimmerman follow someone for a number of minutes only to just give up the search. In addition, upon finding the person he was looking for why did he not identify himself?
