A point which should have been made but was not.

If a stranger with a CCW was walking down the street and saw Martin smashing Zimmerman’s head repeatedly being smashed into the concrete, they could legally shoot Martin if they felt Zimmerman’s life was in danger.

A stranger could legally shoot him but Zimmerman could not shoot him in self defense?

That would have been a huge point to make IMO.

Great point.

Good point, I think...but what would his defense be under FL law.
