The neighborhood watch captain - George Zimmerman is an idiot.
If I had to guess, he's one of these guys who spends a lot of time spinning scenarios and living fantasies in his head where he is the hero of the nieghborhood for killing a bad guy. He probably rehearses in front of a mirror what he would say to the media after a shootout and multiple times a day, imagines himself stopping rapists, muggers and burglars. He was out-of-touch with reality.
He could have waited for police. But then he wouldn't have been a hero and gotten on TV, and been able to hold court and tell people the story of how he shot a gang banger. He could have waited for police - the kid wasn't even running or anything.
More than an idiot - he's a murderer in my opinion.
