First of all he was instructed by LE not to confront.

I hope they hang the bozo, he broke too many rules and instructions (from the police).

No, he was not. The person he spoke with would have been a 911 operator/dispatcher, not a law enforcement officer.

“I believe that Mr. Zimmerman was trying to, by his account, find an address to give the officers and also trying to keep Trayvon in eyesight.”
Zimmerman told the police that Martin noticed that he was being followed and asked, “what’s your problem?”
That's when a physical confrontation ensued, Lee said. And moments later, Martin was shot.

I found this rather bothersome. I can't imagine a neighborhood watch captian or any member not knowing where they are in the neighborhood such that they would need to exit a vehicle in close proximity to a person they considered suspicious and on whom they had called for the police. In my experience, neighborhood watch people usually know their neighborhoods extremely well. Thus the notion of getting out of the vehicle to find an address seems like a false excuse for leaving the vehicle.
