sounds to me like he chased the kid down, initiated the confrontation, and then pulled a gun when he realized he was getting his a55 kicked. Sounds to me like Martin was the one standing his ground.

But who started the physical altercation? Could Martin have attempted to disarm Zimmerman, who was found bleeding from the nose and head, according to the local FD?

Just because one is being followed or watched in a closed neighborhood, would that give Martin the right to physically attack Z?

You realize people die every day in this country due to blows to the head, right?

these are questions best left for the courtroom and yes, I have seen many individuals beaten to death and it’s ususally over something stupid.
