Actually Zimmerman was suspicious of Trayvon because he matched the description of a thief that had been hitting houses in the neighborhood. That description happened to be of a black male.
Zimmerman made a mistake getting out of his car. Trayvon made a mistake confronting Zimmerman. A fight ensued where all evidence points to Trayvon having the upper hand. It's self defense. It is certainly partly Zimmerman's fault. But it is NOT murder 2. Not even a little bit.
