I agree that Zimmerman did nothing illegal.
Lets say Zimmerman had obeyed the dispatcher’s request to the letter, and continued on his way. Trayvon Martin would likely be alive today possibly in prison. Zimmerman wouldn’t have went through all the emotional difficulty and expense of being on trial and all the problems since.

An individual carries a concealed handgun for his own self defense when his life or health is seriously threatened or to defend the life or health of another person. Legally carrying a weapon does not make an individual a cop.
Many argue Zimmerman was a wannabe cop and was acting like one by trailing Zimmerman which led to the attack. Some argue that Martin was confronted by Zimmerman who drew his weapon and Marin fearing for his life attacked Zimmerman in his own self defense. If course there are a few who say Zimmerman was a vigilante fighting crime in his neighborhood like a cloaked cartoon super hero.
The simple solution I recommend is when you see someone suspicious call the cops and let them handle the problem. You don’t end up bankrupt from attorney fees or “the most hated man in America.”
To be fair I live in the free state of Florida and Governor DeSantis backs police in this state. The cops here are still proactive rather than reactive as in far too many cities that have defunded their police. Today if you follow my advise in many liberal cities the cops may not even bother to respond. However if you do what Zimmerman did and kill a black teenager in similar circumstances, your city will burn. What a mess.
