That action, in my opinion, is the turning point, when Zimmerman turned from concerned citizen to a stalker intent on proving something.
And, the fact that he wasn't immediately charged only speaks to the good ole boy attitudes and the fact that Zimmerman was able to throw around enough law enforcement jargon that the responding cops believed his lies.
I know that past history probably can't be considered in this trial, but this is not the first time Zimmerman has gotten into trouble because of violent tendencies. He was arrested for resisting a police officer with violence (charges were reduced to resisting an officer without violence) and a past fiancé filed a restraining order due to alleged domestic violence. Lucky for Zimmerman his daddy worked as a court magistrate and had enough connections to keep him out of jail.

Bingo!
That is the crux of the biscuit. Anyone who says he was "doing the right thing" after he was told by the right people to stay still, is not being honest with themselves, you or me.
