There have been no facts presented by you or anyone else which refutes my position that there are no facts regarding how the confrontation started or who is responsible. The ONLY facts in evidence is that a confrontation occurred and a 17 year old is dead. The only witness, the man who shot the 17 year old has claimed self-defense, and, thus far, the local law enforcment has accepted his word, in my opinion without doing a thorough investigation. The fact that there are so many on this thread who have done their damnest to shut down anyone who is asking for more answers speaks for itself.

Yes, you’re a Victim. Your voice has been silenced. Your rights have been taken away. A true Victim if there ever was one.

...there are no facts regarding how the confrontation started or who is responsible.

But how relevant is that, really. Regardless of who initiated the confrontation, the facts are that you have Martin on top of Zimmerman beating the crap out of him, with Zimmerman yelling for help, which means his life was in danger at that point. The only thing you can argue now is that Martin was justified and acting in self defense himself, of which, no evidence exists. In fact, the very position that Martin finds himself in...on top of Zimmerman...doesn't speak well for a self defense motive. You would have to further argue that Martin found it necessary to incapacitate Zimmerman since Martin was in control of situation.

That seems to be a pretty heavy burden to prove.
