Maybe because he was concerned about the safety of his neighborhood. Being part of the Neighborhood Watch, about which Sanford Police say: "Training provided by law enforcement agencies to Neighborhood Watch organizations stresses non-contact surveillance of suspicious situations and notifying police of those situations so that law enforcement can respond and take control of the situation."

Okay I am with you up to the Watch part. But Zimmerman decided to do more than watch. And that is where he got into trouble.

.... but there is nothing illegal or threatening about walking around your own neighborhood. Or even asking a stranger what he's doing there. It certainly doesn't give that stranger a right to punch you.

But you do not know WHO threw the first blow. Suppose Zimmerman ran up on Martin and "ordered" him to lay on the ground? Suppose Zimmerman attempted to frisk Martin?

Suppose alot of things. The FACTS remain that all these supposed eye witnesses only saw a part of the confrontation. And without seeing the condition of Martin's body and face after this confrontation why are you Zimmerman supporters so quick to accept one side of the story. And that side is Zimmerman's

The mortician said TM's only injury was the gunshot wound. He has no reason to lie.

If you really believe everything you say above, then I am not sure who you are arguing with here. My difficulty with most of your posts here is that you have made numerous assertions that it was in fact Zimmerman who struck first. I have no problem with you holding that opinion - but it is only an opinion.

And I am not sure what it is that makes me a "Zimmerman supporter." I have said repeatedly that we do not know exactly what happened. But the known facts do not contradict Zimmerman's claim of self-defense. Many of the people responding to you here feel the same way - try reading their posts a little more calmly.

And I very much disagree with your repeated attempts to cast reasonable, normal behavior by Zimmerman as somehow sinister, provocative or somehow illegal.
