(44,493 posts)...that there was a longer back and forth shouting match and one of them said something to "set off" the other to cause it to turn physical. But Zimmerman's original story doesn't claim this; Zimmerman's account essentially argues an immediate, premeditated ambush by Trayvon, which logically I just don't understand.
And I don't know where you are coming from as to why the incident didn't occur near Zimmerman's truck. It didn't happen near Zimmerman's truck because there would be no reason for Trayvon to go to Zimmerman's truck for safety.
As for the timing issue, I don't see how this proves Trayvon's culpability. I don't know if you've ever been chased, played hide and seek, tag, etc. But if you are being chased and "lose" someone, sometimes you slow down. Sometimes the reason that you are "lost" is because you are hiding somewhere to keep out of plain sight until the coast is clear. Simply claiming that Trayvon should have already been home at the end of the 911 call isn't evidence that Trayvon was planning an ambush of the strange man who had been chasing him seemingly out of the blue.
