All of us are capable of allowing our own cultural/political/social biases to affect our perception of the facts. It is quite possible that what happened here is that the data set from which Zimmerman operated created a belief that an African American kid in a hoodie was up to no good. That is reflected in his call to the police. It will probably be up to the grand jury to determine whether the chain of events that occurred thereafter amounted to criminal conduct.

Zimmerman and his attorney will have a tough choice in deciding whether to invoke the Fifth Amendment if he is called before the grand jury. If he doesn't testify, he doesn't have the defense. If he does testify, he might say something he wished he hadn't.
