I believe that Zimmerman saw a suspicious guy walking around in the rain in a neighborhood where there had been break ins and decided to look into it. He likely knew that the police would not get there until this suspicious man was long gone, so he decided to follow the person and see whatthey were up to. I think he ran after Trayvon, Trayvon at some point attacked Zimmerman for having the audacity to follow him and Zimmerman shot him in self defense.
If it turns out via the evidence and not the trumped up public outrage, that Zimmerman just killed Trayvon without cause then I hope he goes to jail as he should. If he is found innocent and the evidence shows Trayvon attacked Zimmerman then I feel bad for him, but when you attack someone for doing nothing more than following you when you are in their neighborhood...you get what you get.
There's a fundamental difference between following and chasing. Either way, you can teach your children to cooperate with strange armed men who chase them for no reason. I, for one, hope that a precedence is set in this case that will preclude it from happening in the future. If I had a teenage child and I caught a grown man chasing him or her for no reason, he would have to deal with me.
