Zimmerman got out of his car, which gave Martin the right to use deadly force against him, but did not give Zimmerman the right to defend himself.

At any rate, that's what you get if you listen to the media (including most of the people on FNC).

Even after Martin started bashing his head against the sidewalk, it seems that Zimmerman's response was to try to move so that his head would hit the earth instead...but he made the mistake of reaching for his cell phone and inadvertently let Martin see his gun. It was only when Martin tried to grab his gun that he shot him.

Of course that makes Martin a hero to the gun-grabbers.

Yep, the left’s thinking is all screwed up. Basically, they are purely anti-American and anti-fundamental moral principle and anti-republican principle (meaning the “reoublic” and not the political party).

Fact is, Zimmerman following Martin was no more illegal than Martin walking in the subdivision.

Until someone committed a crime, they were both watching each other and wary of each other, but had no need to attack one another.

All evidence, IMHO, at this point points to Martin initiating violence and criminal activity.

From the physical evidence, to extrapolating the eye witeness accounts, to the background and habits of the two individuals. One read of Martin’s tweeter postings makes it clear, while Zimmerman was tudoring minority kids each week for free.

It will be an aquittal, followed by some level of civil disturbances...and depending on that, followed by a Holder initiated retrial on civil-rights charges...which if it is an impartial jury, should also fail flat out.
