He who transits from speech to physical attack is in the wrong, no matter WHAT the speech is. Evidence is that Martin initiated the physicality. “Being pissed-off” is not grounds for assault.
Blacks I’ve read online say Zimmerman deserved the “Ass kicking” for following TM. Zimmerman used the gun because he was a “punk.”
Also some statements there was a struggle for the gun.
The “John” witness saw TM on top of Zimmerman beating him. Zimmerman yelled for help.
The other witnesses showed up post shooting and saw Zimmerman over TM who was dying or dead by then.
Likely events were...
Zimmerman sees TM. Thinks he may be a thief. Calls cops. TM has hood up because of rain. TM tells girlfriend he’s being followed. Zimmerman loses sight of TM. Heads back to his truck but is confronted by TM who starts the fight and is on top of Zimmerman beating him. Zimmerman fires gun killing TM.
Zimmerman wrong for trying to play cop and following a potentially dangerous suspect.
TM wrong for turning it into a fight.
Cops could be sued for wrongful prosecution with a witness verifying Zimmerman was being beaten up. Grass stains on back of his jacket. Broken nose.
So cops sued if they charge and police chief fired for not arresting.
Hope this backfires on Rats with Hispanic vote in Florida.
