Would you stand there and let someone run up on you and under the authority of just having a firearm treat you any old kind of way and not attempt to defend yourself?

There is absolutely NO evidence of this. NONE...zero.

“Trayvon said, ‘What, are you following me for?’ and the man said, ‘What are you doing here?’ Next thing I hear is somebody pushing, and somebody pushed Trayvon because the head set just fell. I called him again and he didn’t answer the phone.”

Zimmerman had as much right to follow Trayvon as Trayvon had to walk wherever he wanted around the complex.

It is likely, though I have no proof, that after Trayvon questions Zimmerman, then Zimmerman questions back—Trayvon threw the first punch or shoved.

Zimmerman knew the police were on the way, it doesn’t make sense he would have shoved or hit Trayvon.

If Trayvon was frightened of Zimmerman following him, Trayvon could have called 911, he had a phone on him. He didn’t.

Why did Zimmerman say he got out of his truck to check a street sign (there are only three streets), not to pursue Trayvon?

Why did Zimmerman say he was attacked from behind as he was returning to his truck?

These statements do not match up with what was heard on the phone.

Zimm the nut knew cops were on the way,, so it makes no sense that he would start anything? Yet,, it makes sense that he would get out and start a confrontation?
Neighborhood watch has no business trying to be junior cops except in utter extreme. (where they, like any citizen, can intervene if they see an actual crime)
And if Treyvon should have called 911,, and not tried to defend himself, why doesn’t that also apply to Zimm?

And Zimm,, I believe exited gun in hand. He was already using buzzwords like ‘his hand is down in his waistband’,,, if he was saying such things, it stands to reason that he would have the gun out. Zimm has a poor record of self control. Fighting the cops before, disregarding instructions,, etc.
