But if you want to continue with the Zimmerman-as-Racist-Death-Wish-Vigilante-Hunting-Down-Innocent-Young-Boys-of-Color scenario, be my guest.
I don’t think that Zimmerman was like that and I see nothing to seriously suggest that Martin was beating Zimmerman for the simple thrill of it.
I think that both were afraid of each other and that each other reacted to that.
