The text of the 911 call doesn't give the impression that Zimmerman pursued Martin because the latter was wearing a hoodie. He was asked by the 911 dispatcher what Martin was wearing, and Zimmerman described the hoodie and something vague about the shirt and the fact that Martin supposedly had his hands in his waistband. But his suspicion is aroused first by Martin supposedly just walking around the neighborhood, then by Martin staring at him and then by Martin running away. It doesn't sound to me like Martin's wearing a hoodie, by itself, had much to do with the incident, so I don't see how Geraldo's diagnosis of the problem makes much sense to begin with. But, it seems to me, the fact that Zimmerman pursued Martin after the 911 dispatcher told him not to makes the idea that Martin was the one who provoked the confrontation rather unbelievable.
