There was a witness who said that Trayvon had mounted him and was "whooping his ass", so it isn't just a one-sided story.. (Zimmerman didn't have self-inflicted wounds).
Trayvon wasn't just walking on the sidewalk, he was walking in between houses at a leisurely pace when it was raining pretty heavily.
If I saw that, no matter what the race, I would probably have a double-take. That is somewhat odd behavior. Sure, it's "just water", but the average person doesn't do that.
There was also a history in the neighborhood of break-ins, so that was another reason Zimmerman felt compelled to act.
