You’re obviously a victim of the MSM’s convenient omission of facts.
Zimmerman’s only crime was getting out of his truck to confront the kid. It’s been in the upper 60s with near 70% humidity in the overnight hours here in FL. There’s NO reason for someone to have on a hoodie. I sweat just wearing a tee-shirt.
When the police arrived, Zimmerman had several wounds to his face and was wet from rolling in the grass with the perp. Regardless of the verity of his claims, the police filed it as a case of self-defense.
Listen, I’m not defending this guy, I’m simply pointing out that the MSM is only giving you the parts of the story they want you to hear.
RESEARCH THE WHOLE STORY BEFORE DRAWING CONCLUSIONS!
An instructor of mine in the past gave me some advice on carrying concealed:
“Shooting someone in self-defense means that your life is on the line 3 times: the initial confrontation, under investigation by the police, and at a trial, if applicable.”
His advice to the class: shoot to kill, not to wound. Dead men tell no tales.
Thank you for full disclosure. Gun owners, and fans, I note, are all for Zimmerman.

I *have* been researching. Most of the MSM reports lately aren’t on the crime at all, but rather on the outrage around it.
Here are the facts I have managed to tease out of the information on the Interwebz. tell me which of these facts you dispute.
— Martin had no criminal record. Zimmermann had been charged with battery on a police officer, as well as a domestic violence charge.
— Martin was unarmed at the time of his death. Zimmermann was carrying a loaded handgun, which he used to kill Martin.
— Martin’s girlfriend was on the phone with him around the time of the attack. She said he had gone to the store for snacks.
— Martin was carrying snacks when he was killed.
— Martin was on foot and Zimmerman was in a car. At some point for some reason Zimmermann got out of the car in the proximity of Martin.
— If Zimmermann had not gotten out of his car, it was physically impossible for Martin to attack him or even to provoke an altercation — this is just common sense.
— Zimmermann was an enthusiastic neighborhood watch participant
— Zimmermann called 911 to report Martin as a suspicious person
Note that I have not included in the above ONE opinion, or ANY hearsay, or ANY MSM conclusion, or any of the questionable testimony — much of which ALSO implicates zimmermann, although some of it is conflicting or uncorroborated.
So: maybe YOU can roll all this up and conclude that Martin was in the wrong and Zimmermann was justified in killing him. I’d have to suspend a LOT of disbelief and ignore a LOT of simple explanations in favor of some tortured, convoluted ones to conclude the same thing.

Regardless of your own clothing tastes and comfort level:
Is it illegal to wear a hoodie?
Is there any evidence WHATSOEVER that Martin had committed a crime, or was about to, and that wearing the hoodie was relevant to that crime?
