What would it matter who started the physical altercation...as long as treyvon had no deadly weapon.

Zimmerman had no authority to be following this kid:

Training provided by law enforcement agencies to Neighborhood Watch organizations stresses non-contact surveillance of suspicious situations and notifying police of those situations so that law enforcement can respond and take control of the situation.

How stupid can you possibly be?

People die from blows to the head, multiple times, daily.

Ya think if someone is beating your face in, you not going to protect yourself?

Based on what we have heard so far, you have detailed exactly what Zimmerman did.

"...non-contact surveillance of suspicious situations and notifying police..."

I can follow anyone I want to follow.

Especially when it’s a thug, not a kid.

And when I follow someone, if that someone then assaults me, I then have the right to defend myself, don’t I?

Yes, yes I do.
