So you think someone should take a potentially deadly beating and not
be able to defend himself?

Instead you live in a "retreat" state where you could be charged for
shooting an intruder in your own home if there was any possibility
that you might have been able to escape.
Before you opine, know that a friend of mine did 7 years in the
Maryland prison system for killing an intruder ... because he had an
opportunity to run out the door.

I believe Zimmerman initiated the fight and when it got out of hand, he
ran to his truck and got his pistol.

It is clear that you have not actually been paying much attention to
it then. That is inconsistent with every version of the story that is
out there. (The girl friend, the police and Zimmerman himself)

The police didn't see it, how could THEY make judgment? The girlfriend
said that the kid simply asked why Zimmerman was following him.
Zimmerman gave a lot of hearsay, but then he's a known liar.

Zimmerman was there during the entire event, his recounting of the events is not hearsay.
