But . . . there was no violence until Zimmerman pursued and killed the kid . . . self defence or not.

Have nothing to object to anything you wrote . . . except the kid . . . however you want to show him . . . was walking alone.

Zimmerman ignored warnings to stay away till police arrived. True?

At minimum, IMHO, Zimmerman is guilty of manslaughter. He, IMHO, murdered the kid. All Zimmerman had to do was wait for the cops.

Not taking the stand in his own defense, Zimmerman avoided answering insightful questions.

As much as I see, Zimmerman killed someone roaming a neighborhood wearing a hoodie, eating candy, wandering about, and when confronted, did what i would do.

Tell the prick to f&vk off.

Decades ago, while visiting relatives in Baltimore County, I entered this row house, wrong house, people looked at me, stepped back and looked at the street signs. Got house wrong. Those people would have been well within their rights to shoot me for invading their home.

Except I got the street and house wrong.

Thankfully, the family I surprised didn’t want to kill me.

Yeah - and maybe if Martin had only done that, he would still be alive today.

If you had punched one of the people in the nose knocking them down, then jumped on them and began beating them mixed martial arts style and banged their head savagely against the floor ... you might not be here today.

NO. Not at all true.

Watch the re-enactment video (again, if you need to).

TM jumped out at Z, attacked HIM. He had every option to go home -- and instead was following Z -- in the dark, on a rainy, cold night.

Z, btw, as we hear in the call to the nonemergency number, had been asked by the dispatcher at a certain point "WHERE is he now?" -and- "What is the address?" We hear Z's straightforward responses explaining why he was walking, going back also to the re-enactment video.

He was walking back to his van to wait for the cops when Trayvon came out of the bushes and confronted him. Trayvon had left the safety of his 'own' back yard and snuck back up on Zimmerman as he was returning to his vehicle.

I guess you haven't been following the trial closely ?

Except that is not fact.

“Thankfully, the family I surprised didn’t want to kill me.”

Matter of opinion.

No, not true. Glad you're not on the jury. You are a low-information trial observer.

I can follow you if I want to follow you.

You can not hit me or hurt me for simply following you.

I can kill you if I need to do so, to stop you from beating me.

That is the law, moron!

False.

If you had followed the testimony at all, you would know that the prosecution's own witness testified that Zimmerman had lost contact with TM, and TM had made it all the way back to the condo where he was staying. Yet the fight occurred 80 yards back toward where Zimmerman's truck was parked. So if TM was safely home, how did he wind up back down at the other end of the row of condos?

It is simple really.....this kid was ticked off that some cracker was watching him, so he went back to beat the hell out of him. Not surprising for a 17yr old who was proud of his arse kicking abilities (like many young men his age).

It is just sad that he did not go on home, he prob never considered that this guy from the suburbs would have a weapon.

Z was not warned to stay away until the police arrived. He did not pursue, as T had disappeared.
T went home, then came back. This after peeking in windows during weather that people don’t idly wander around in.

As for your mistake of entering the wrong house and the owners not killing you, well, you didn’t go back inside after leaving and then proceed to smash their skulls with blunt instruments while they pleaded for help and begged you to stop.
