The point where I differ with you is that in the moment when someone is shot, they typically don't immediately comprehend what the extent of what happened was and how serious it was. You hear that over and over from people describing what they felt when they were shot. Often, they don't even realize that they have just been shot in those immediate moments. In the instant he was shot, I don't expect that Trayvon was thinking that he was just shot dead.
I do agree with you as the point about the struggle for control of the gun.
But as for the "struggle to the death", I think in Trayvon's mind that was only one way. As soon as the man had the edge, Trayvon fully expected him to let up, even though Trayvon had not let up on Zimmerman when Trayvon had the edge. That's the thug mentality.
the story from the french revolution where people that just got there heads cut off were still blinking comes to mind :)

That is ALWAYS the way the left works- they beat the snot out of those who don’t really want ot fight them- but when theo nes they sare fighting show some basckbone and fight back, the left tucks hteir tail between theirvlegs, wimpers and whines, then takes them to court on some trumpede up charges because they are pissed that someoen stood up to them and made htem back down-
Hey- that’s EXACTLT what is happenign in this case- only trayvon didn’t get a chance to retreat because he pickedc on someoen who could and did actually defend themselves agaisnt the m iserable thug!!!
