Someone follows you for a half minute in a car, it's a little weird.
Someone follows you for a minute in a car, it's very weird.
Someone follows you for two minutes in a car, you have to wonder what the hell is up and are you in any sort of danger.
And your explanation for why Trayvon "double backed" and "ambushed" Zimmerman is the most cockamamie nonsense I've ever heard.
You assume Trayvon knew Zimmerman was calling the police on him without any substantial evidence to back that up. But fine, let's indulge that for a minute. Trayvon supposedly sees Zimmerman calling police and runs and hides. How exactly is his next normal, logical response going to be, hey, let me go back, wait out and ambush Zimmerman for calling the cops on him for no reason? So if the police arrive and Trayvon's wailing away on Zimmerman, he gets arrested for assault and battery? Don't tell me you actually believe that nonsense.
