It's counter-intuitive to me; seems more like Zimmerman simply didn't want Trayvon to get away, rather than that he was attempting to avoid confrontation. This is something I'm looking forward to hearing Zimmerman address in court. I hope he testifies.
It was most likely because he was determined not to let him get away, and it actually helps back up his story that Martin attacked him and reached for his gun while telling him he's going to die tonight. Had he told him that he was NW and police were on the way that scenario would be even less likely to happen.
