It isn't illegal to ask someone what they are doing. All Trayvon had to do was tell him to piss off. You can't physically attack someone for being an asshole, like Trayvon apparently did. Well, you can, but then if they shoot you the law is on their side.

The thing is we don't know how it all went down. Only one person lived through it so we only have one side. For all we know he did tell him to piss off. For all we know Zimmerman tried to restrain him or search him or who knows what. The bottom line is this never should have happened and wouldn't have happened if this vigilante didn't try and take the law into his own hands.
