Zimmerman felt threatened because he had a thug on top of him, beating him. Martin could have felt threatened because ... there was a person walking behind them? I don't think that constitutes a legitimate threat.
Threatened because there's a man driving at night, he stops, makes a call and is staring at you. And then when you start running, he gets out of his car and starts running after you.
"A person walking behind them." is not at all what happened.
