It's one thing to go back to someone and ask, "What's your problem?" and a verbal argument ensue. Perhaps that verbal argument could deteriorate to the point of becoming physical, or perhaps it's left at that.
It's another thing to hide out, sneak up behind someone, say, "You have a problem with me" and after a simple, "No", immediately start wailing on a complete stranger who had previously put you at risk, especially when you are still in the zone of danger. Trayvon was not out of danger simply because he had momentary lost Zimmerman.
I'll maintain that Zimmerman's original story just does not add up in the context of the situation. There are stupid and foolish kids, yes. But stupid and foolish does not necessarily equal utterly and completely moronic, which Trayvon would have to be to believe Zimmerman's story to police.
