That's not negligence on Zimmerman's part,(as you state) that's being a responsible man. As the story keeps unfolding to us, it looks clearer and clearer that the only crime that took place that night, was the one where Martin assualted Zimmerman.
Does it me a thug if I happen to notice someone following me and I confront them? The problem with this whole situation( and why I usually stay out of these discussions on here) is that, as mentioned above, there are only two people who know what happened and one of them is dead. It wouldn't surprise me to find out I was right about this case, just like it wouldn't surprise me to be wrong. We tend to let personal belief fill in the many blanks that there are and will continue to be in this case and others like it.
