He probably didn't feel threatened until Marting actually confronted him.

However, he did call the police, and was following in an attempt to answer the dispatcher's questions. When the dispatcher told him they didn't need him to follow, he broke it off. On the way back, Martin attacked him. That's when he felt threatened.

Swing and a miss - bdickens said "if Trayvon Martin felt so threatened..." not George Zimmerman.

You're right. My bad. I guess I've gotten a little "trigger happy" (pun absolutely intended) over the situation.
