Quote from volente_00:
I find it hard to believe that a 140 lb athlete could not outrun an overweight 250 lb man that was 10 years older than him. My guess is he lost him and then pulled over and got out of his truck and then the kid rushed him from behind to start the confrontation. If the kid wanted to run away he would have. Instead he chose to fight.
So there is a requirement now that if you are a black teenager then you are required to run away from anyone is pursuing you?
In the cell call with his girlfriend, Martin said he was just going to walk fast. And then he asked Zimmerman why Zimmerman was following him.

"He said this man was watching him, so he put his hoodie on. He said he lost the man," Martin's friend said. "I asked Trayvon to run, and he said he was going to walk fast. I told him to run, but he said he was not going to run."
Eventually, he would run, said the girl, thinking that he'd managed to escape. But suddenly the strange man was back, cornering Martin.
"Trayvon said, 'What are you following me for,' and the man said, 'What are you doing here.' Next thing I hear is somebody pushing, and somebody pushed Trayvon because the head set just fell. I called him again, and he didn't answer the phone."
