Maybe you should read post 343.
” Maybe you should read post 343.”
OK, I read it. Pretty thoughtful, I might add. However, if it turns out that Zimmerman was attacked from behind, and the kid was on top of him, and beating him fiercely, Zimmerman had a right to defend himself, period! They might slap a lesser manslaughter charge on him, but I doubt it.
I also see no evidence that Zimmerman wanted to manhandle, or shoot anybody, unless you think a big guy beating the crap out of you is no reason to finally, pull out your gun and shoot.
