Nice try. BACKFIRE!
Nor is there any evidence that he did anything other than watch.
Zimmerman was not authorized to confront ANYONE. Carrying the gun made him feel like he was a policeman.
Again, there is no evidence that Zimmerman confronted Martin. As to your other observation, it sounds like attempted mind-reading.
And what was that abnormal situation? Zimmerman observed and reported NO CRIME. He did not report Martin breaking into a car. Ne did not report Martin peeking into windows. The "abnormal situation" was in Zimmerman's own mind
One need not be doing anything illegal in order to legitimately appear suspicious. Here is what Zimmerman saw and reported:
"Hey we've had some break-ins in my neighborhood, and there's a real suspicious guy, uh, [near] Retreat View Circle, um, the best address I can give you is 111 Retreat View Circle. This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about."A person acting strangely, loitering in the rain and "looking at all the houses."
He answers the operator's questions seeking a description, then continues: "He's here now and hes just staring looking at all the houses. Now he's just staring at me."
Yes he shot Martin because Zimmerman was losing the fight that he most likely started with his actions of trying to play wanna-be cop.
You are again mind-reading, and again introducing your own assumptions, not the actual known facts. There is nothing wrong with speculating - we're just internet forum commenters - but to say it is "most likely" despite the absence of any known facts is silly.
At no time is there any evidence that Zimmerman was attacked with anything except fists. Yet he decided to respond to fists with a gun. That is over the line
Not legally.
In the police tape showing Zimmerman immediately AFTER the fight there is NO indication of a "broken nose" as Zimmerman claims. There are no dressings on Zimmerman's face or even on the back of his head.
Read this: His neighbor saw him the next day, swollen, bruised and bandaged.

I can’t even think of words that won’t get me modded.

How many people die or are seriously injured from injuries sustained by another human being without a weapon? And if you are unconcious whats to prevent the attacker from locating a weapon such as a board, pipe etc and finishing you off? There are no rules and no refereesw in street fights in case you didnt know that. The winner decides when to quit beating the tar out of you and if he so desires will not quit until you are dead or someone stops him. Pleas for help went unanswered, what would you do? The pleas for help did not stop Martin, no one else stopped Martin, the bullet did.
fistfight deaths most by hitting head on concrete:

Why do you believe a citizen of a community does not have the right to confront someone who is trespassing/traveling through (depending on your point of view) that citizen’s community?
Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee, along with Capt. Robert O'Connor, made the decision to release George Zimmerman after consulting with State Attorney Norman Wolfinger --- in person. After a conversation between Lee, O'Connor and Wolfinger, the decision was made to "cut Zimmerman loose".
Homicide investigator Chris Serino filed an affidavit stating that he did not believe Zimmerman's account of the shooting. He recommended charging the 28-year-old with manslaughter, but was advised by Wolfinger's office that there wasn't enough evidence to secure a conviction. Zimmerman was subsequently released.
If true, the account may explain why Wolfinger recused himself from the case, on the same day Lee announced he was stepping aside.
Surely that would be on the 911 tape where Zimmerman says Martin is "checking me out"? But I don't hear it. Why would Zimmerman make that up - he had to know his call was being recorded? Or, why would the cops make that up - to get dad to back down? How's that working?
