What evidence is there that Zimmerman started a fight. His head wounds?
If you listen to the 911 tapes (which are available on the internet) it seems clear that Mr. Zimmerman was seeking a confrontation. As to who threw the first punch, I have no idea, but I don’t think its particularly relevant. The point is that Mr. Zimmerman placed himself in a situation that ended in violence and if you take his statements to the 911 dispatcher at face value, it appears that a violent confrontation is what he was seeking.
“In any case, a law that permits someone to start a fight and then kill the person they attacked if the fight doesn’t go their way is insane and needs to be changed.”
“What evidence is there that Zimmerman started a fight. His head wounds?”
This is the crux of the matter. Up until the fight started, both parties did nothing wrong or illegal.
George Zimmerman says he was attacked. He has wounds and all the physical evidence says that he was.
Trayvon Martin’s parents say that Zimmerman attacked Trayvon. They were not there. Their evidence seems to be that Trayvon was black and 17, so he could not be the one who started the fight.
Everyone agrees that a fight occured.
