And all that he was authorized to do was to watch. Not confront

Nor is there any evidence that he did anything other than watch.

Zimmerman was not authorized to confront ANYONE. Carrying the gun made him feel like he was a policeman.

Again, there is no evidence that Zimmerman confronted Martin. As to your other observation, it sounds like attempted mind-reading.

And what was that abnormal situation? Zimmerman observed and reported NO CRIME. He did not report Martin breaking into a car. Ne did not report Martin peeking into windows. The "abnormal situation" was in Zimmerman's own mind

One need not be doing anything illegal in order to legitimately appear suspicious. Here is what Zimmerman saw and reported:

"Hey we've had some break-ins in my neighborhood, and there's a real suspicious guy, uh, [near] Retreat View Circle, um, the best address I can give you is 111 Retreat View Circle. This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about."

He answers the operator's questions seeking a description, then continues: "He's here now and he’s just staring …looking at all the houses. Now he's just staring at me."

A person acting strangely, loitering in the rain and "looking at all the houses."

Yes he shot Martin because Zimmerman was losing the fight that he most likely started with his actions of trying to play wanna-be cop.

You are again mind-reading, and again introducing your own assumptions, not the actual known facts. There is nothing wrong with speculating - we're just internet forum commenters - but to say it is "most likely" despite the absence of any known facts is silly.

At no time is there any evidence that Zimmerman was attacked with anything except fists. Yet he decided to respond to fists with a gun. That is over the line

Not legally.

In the police tape showing Zimmerman immediately AFTER the fight there is NO indication of a "broken nose" as Zimmerman claims. There are no dressings on Zimmerman's face or even on the back of his head.

Read this: His neighbor saw him the next day, swollen, bruised and bandaged.

All your twisting and turning will not change the facts of this shooting. The two key pieces of evidence that are coming to light are:

1- The Martin kid was the one screaming for help during the confrontation not Zimmerman. This is from analysis of the voice records by TWO forensic voice identification experts. And they BOTH agree that the evidence of the analysis is strong enough for court.

2-The lead homicide investigator for this case, Chris Serino, recommended filing manslaughter charges against Zimmerman after examination of the facts of the case.

So lets hear you somehow explain these developments away as the noose tightens slowly around Zimmerman's neck
