I'm curious if anyone here is an actual parent. And your honest answer to what would you tell your teenager to do in a situation when a strange, creepy man who is 100-pounds larger than you is running around chasing you in your own neighborhood at night for no reason?

"Just stand there, honey. It's okay."

I'd say run home.

Not... Run home, hide in a bush, run back and attack your potential attacker - who happens to have a gun...

Im a parent and sympathetic to the loss his family had. Doesnt change the fact he was circling cars as if he wanted to rob them and neighborhood spotted him and called 911. Had he went inside after his wannabe thug ass got busted instead of going back looking for a confrontation while on the phone to look cool he would be in jail instead of dead.

This is the only appropriate response. If you already lost the person "chasing" you, why would you turn around to confront them?

I'd tell them to call 911 and seek help, looks like tons of homes around him and he had a cell phone. I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone is claiming zimmerman walked up to him gun out and killed him on spot like that.
