You do not know that Zimmerman did not follow the instructions of the dispatcher. You can keep repeating your claim that he did not all you want, that does not make it so. The dispatcher told Zimmerman they did not need him to follow Martin, and Zimmerman acknowledged that with "Okay".
You do not know that Zimmerman was not assaulted by Martin while Zimmerman was in the process of returning to his vehicle. You can keep asserting that baseless claim all you want, but evidently the incident happened close enough to Zimmerman's vehicle that the police felt Zimmerman was telling the truth when he said he was assaulted on the way back to his vehicle.
Had Martin gone home, instead of confronting Zimmerman, he might not be dead. His lack of common sense in deciding to confront and assault a legally armed citizen is obvious.
