The neighborhood he lived in was having trouble with robberies and crime and it sounds like he was fed up with the whole situation. Just before this even happened, two black guys broke into his neighbors house while a mom and her baby were the only ones inside. I think George just wanted to live in a safe community and took his role as neighborhood watch leader too seriously. Following Trayvon wasn't the best idea, but that wouldn't have ended in a gunshot if the kid didn't jump on top of him and start beating him up.
