If Zimmerman was following Martin, and Martin was running away (as per Zimmerman’s own words), and then Martin saw the man had a gun tucked into his waist holder... then it’s just as plausible that Martin was acting in self-defense, too, even if he decided to get a jump on the guy with the gun.

Oh yes, it is highly plausible that a man already running away from someone with a gun, will turn and attack the man with the gun. Right. Yeah that makes all kinds of sense. If you are a suicidal imbecile.

Well, if I thought someone was pursuing me, and then that person confronted me, and I saw that he was armed, I would run away... but I’m not 6’3” nor a teenaged boy.

If you’re planning to jump someone, why run away from him? Unless you’re planning to lure him into a trap... But then, why do that in front of homes with witnesses and so close to your father’s house? It. Makes. No. Sense.
