I must say that I am surprised that he apologized to the parents of the thug.

I am not.

He had no reason nor intention on shooting Martin. It was during the struggle for the gun that someone pulled/pushed the trigger. It happened to be facing Martin's chest when it went off.

Zimmerman believes he is responsible for shooting Martin (in self-defense), but his statement at the time was "we struggled over the gun and ...boom... , then Martin keeled over backwards".

He hadn't pulled the gun to defend himself. He was trying to keep Martin from taking it.

Yeah, what you have said makes sense.

I have a harder heart than Zimmerman I think. I don’t think I would be regretful at all had the same circumstance occurred to me.

I admire Zimmerman’s compassion, I don’t know why, but I do. He does not seem like the man the media painted at all.
