disagree.

I believe trayvon had the legal right to self defense, and zimmerman did likewise.

Trayvon assumed he was being followed by zimmerman so he could of reacted in self defense.
Zimmerman had trayvon attacking him without understanding why, hence he also had self-defense..

Sorry, you can not “defend” yourself because you “think” someone is following you.

The person who initiates violence in such a situation is the perpetrator. The person being attacked is the one with the right to defend.

Trayvon attacked Zimmerman. You cannot legally do that because you think he is following you...only if he physically tries to attack or detain you. Zimmerman did neither.
