I don't think Zimmerman really intended to kill Trayvon.

29. A few things about the guy stick with me.

During one of the police interviews after the shooting, Detective Serino asked Zimmerman if it had ever occurred to him to try talking to Martin. "I'm George. I'm with the neighborhood watch. Is something wrong?" or words to that effect. Zimmerman said it hadn't.

In Zimmerman's own account, Martin approaches him and asks him if he's got a problem. Well, obviously Zimmerman does have a problem. Otherwise, why'd he call the police? But how does he respond? He says "I don't have a problem" and he reaches for his phone.

Now fast forward to this week. His girlfriend calls the cops on him. The police show up and are knocking on the door and on the windows. So what does he do? He calls 911. Why? He says he wants everybody to know the truth. When the dispatcher suggests that he could tell that to the cops who are at the house, he says he's got nothing to say to them.

He seems to have a real problem with personal interaction. When presented with the opportunity to look another person in the eye and talk, he retreats to forms of communication with which he's more comfortable, thus making the situations much worse.
