Apples and Oranges
Apples:
Skittles attacked and beat Z after which time Z produced a gun and killed him,self defence.
Z didnt start the confrontation, he was attacked.
Oranges:
Private citizen confronts a jogger while pointing a loaded shotgun at him.
Private C had no legal right or permission to do that.He was a retired cop. Not a cop on duty.
The runner, had every right to defend himself from this un-lawfull man.
Private citizen was also accompanied by his son in a pickup truck.Son also was armed.
You cant start a confrontation and aim a loaded firearm at some one that is unarmed and then claim you were defending yourself after shooting them when it was your 12 Ga and you started the whole thing.
Especially when you have an accomplice standing by that is also carrying a loaded hand gun.
Well yes you can do all of this, but you and your one man posse will be going to prison.
Zimmerman definitely did initiate the contact, he was following Martin around the complex while talking to 911.
Lots of things you state are not factual.
But, lots of people make the facts fit their perceived narrative and go from there.
What matters in every case is what the law says is lawful/unlawful, not what we all prefer or think should be.
Justice turns slowly, sometimes years, so we shall see how n time.
My recommendation is to look at the laws involved, then consider each person’s actions in light of the law alone. Like a jury would have to.

You are basing this assertion on what?
I didn't see him aiming a shotgun at the jogger before the jogger rushed the man
and assaulted him while trying to take possession of the shotgun.
I'm not asserting a definite conclusion, only that it looked that way to me from the video.
