It matters not what you think of Zimmerman, his stalking of Martin (if he did) or his following him and challenging why he was there. None of those are life threatening activities. Being punched in the nose, then sat upon while having your head pounded against a concrete walkway sounds more like a situation of being in fear of death or serious bodily harm to me. Zimmerman is a violent tempered woman beating punk. He walks around armed so he can shoot people with whom he starts fights. |

How many people has he shot? The answers define whether your accusation that he walks around armed so he can shoot people with whom he starts fights is accurate or not. Your accusation of him being a woman beating punk also has never been proven. |

You'd so the same to save your miserable hide, or maybe just for kicks. |

I agree that he seems to be hot headed and I am not defending his personality. All I am saying is (and as the evidence in the trial indicated) Zimmerman was justifiably in fear for his life or serious bodily harm. Nothing else ... his background ... Martin's background .... skittles or no skittles matters. The jury came to the same conclusion. |
