In at least part of the Old West, if you confronted an unarmed man on
the street and ended up shooting him, the townfolk would string you up.

You are leaping to the conclusion that Zimmerman, somehow confronted
Martin when even the girlfriend admits Martin probably threw the first
punch.

You DO realize, don't you, that just because Martin might have thrown
the first punch, doesn't mean that Zimmerman didn't "confront" Martin,
right?

A lot of talk was raised about a depraved mind.
In the moments before the shooting, Martin was on top of and had
complete control over Zimmerman, Zimmerman not accomplishing any
effective defensive measures and was crying like a little girl yet
Martin kept beating on him.
At that moment, who had the depraved mind?
Who was in mortal fear?
That is the definition of self defense.

Yes, Martin was self defending himself, true enough.

USA today made the statement "If Zimmerman did not have a gun, Martin
would be alive". The question is, would Zimmerman be dead?

No, Zimmerman wouldn't have ever confronted Martin, he'd have done what
the cops always say to do, what the police liaison told them to do, and
what the literature told them to do, wait for the cops.
