That’s just it, GZ WAS in danger of death or major injury. this “ground and pound” thing which you see in MMA fights is significantly more dangerous than anything you ever used to see in fights 40 years ago. You might could feel good about being involved in something like that if there’s a referee there to stop the proceedings before anybody gets seriously hurt, but there was no referee there for Zimmerman...
Would not GZ’s “excited utterances” during the beating best confirm the fact that he was in fear of great injury or death?
If GZ is screaming like that, is he not in a submissive situation and then Trayvon is escalating the fight with unnecessary force?
