It could be argued (easily) that you, like Santorum, are a real threat and danger to truth and basic common sense.
Why, by ANY two-brain-cell reasoning, would ANYONE who feels impending acute immediate personal danger or threat--of ANY degree--instead of swiftly taking ANY of a number of other freely-open pathways AWAY from it--turn back TOWARD the "danger/threat" and TACKLE and PUMMEL INTO CONCRETE WITHOUT RELENT the retreated "scary and dangerous" adult male who supposedly caused the "stranger danger kid" to to be so SCARED CR@PLESS?
You and your laughable logic are an embarrassment to basic common sense, rational thought, and halfway intelligent reasoning.
It could be that Martin told himself that he was being a wuss to run away and mustered up the bravo to ask Zimmerman why he was following him AND THEN panicked anew when, thinking Zimmerman was going a weapon, punched Zimmerman who was merely reaching for his phone as he stated he was doing when Martin clocked him.
Hell, the saddest part of this whole situation is that it is entirely possible for it to be a complete and utter tragedy without either party being the "bad guy."
