If Martin (and who will ever now) thought he was in danger from this large strange guy who was making unfounded accusation against him, then yeah Martin was right to defend himself.

In the initial police report, Zimmerman is listed as 5-9, Martin is listed as 6-0.

From the photos at least Zimmerman looks to outweigh Martin.

I have to wonder why would somebody follow a person after knowing the police were on the way and when they claimed the person was acting strange because they thought he was on drugs? Wouldn’t most people figure the reasonable thing to do was to let the cops handle this person? Wouldn’t most people if they thought a person under the influence of drugs might have a weapon figure the reasonable thing to do was to stay away from that person?
