Yes, from what I've read, he did run. But even if he hadn't, Zimmerman LEFT HIS CAR WITH HIS GUN READY AT HAND and he was looking to start an "altercation" and resolve it with the death of what he considered a "fucking punk."

Zimmerman was SET on "meting out justice." (What he determined to be justice, in his racist wannabe-cop mind.)
