I don't hate him, either. I just think that he made too many assumptions that night, took matters into his own hands, and it cost a kid his life when he was not in the commission of any crime.
Zimmerman's duty was to call in and report...period. When Zimmerman told the dispatcher that he lost sight of him, then he should have just left it up to the police from there and gone on to Target. The dispatcher had already told him the police were on the way. The dispatcher testified that he could not order him to do/not do anything and that 'not to follow' was advice. By that same token, Zimmerman was not obligated to try to keep Martin in sight because the dispatcher asked him what Martin was doing then. When he told the dispatcher which direction he last saw him going, that should have been the end of it. Let the police take it from there.
This is just the way I interpret what I have seen to date and I have been watching everyday.
