This isn’t about cowardice, it is a manner of basic survival instinct. Zimmerman had not been acting intelligently at all since the trail; getting in a domestic abuse dispute was about one of the dumbest things he could possibly conceive of. The fact that the chosen source of massive race baiting hysteria is someone with a highly limited at best amount of situational awareness. It essentially allows the race card players to even further extend their credit limit.
