Explain to me, someone who fears for their life getting out of the car. Look, Zimmerman implied the kid looked like he was on drugs, that he has something unidentifiable in hands and he doesn't look alright.
How do you have the gall to throw in "threatened" in the case of Zimmerman. When just by the descriptions alone, if he was so scared he would have stayed in the car and waited for the police. You don't approach a potential hazard.
Your statement on "threatened" is BS. Unless you're a vigilante or someone thinking their John Wayne, in other words --completely insane; you don't go up to someone who you even described as being potentially dangerous.
