How is it proven it was self defence, when he himself admitted to approaching Martin, at night, in what is known as a fairly high-crime neighbourhood?
For all we know Martin was the one acting in self defence. After all he was the one approached by a guy who had been following him. In a car. At night. In the rain. He was 17 and approached by a bigger guy who is older than him. Maybe he thought he was being followed and about to be attacked, so he freaked.

I kinda feel sorry for him. He knows that he's a gigantic pussy that can't fight his way out of a paper bag. I'm sure that knowledge tears him up inside every day.Ilocano wrote:

Again, all of the facts aren't in. Who are really the prejudice ones here?Jaekus wrote:

It's stated by Zimmerman that after following Martin, and then Martin confronted him, Zimmerman then reached for his cell phone.
So here we have a 17 year old kid, out in a bad neighbourhood, at night, in the rain. He's been followed, and notices the guy following him. So he then approaches the guy asking if he had a problem. To which the guy then reaches inside his coat. For all we know Martin could've freaked thinking the guy was about to pull a gun on him, and attacked to protect himself. So Zimmerman pulls a gun on him anyway and shoots him dead.
The good intentions or not of Zimmerman aside to be "patrolling" the neighbourhood like a cop that he isn't, he would be an idiot if he were to think he's 100% in the right here.

there were two people who knew exactly what happened. One of them is dead. Coming to a conclusion without knowing exactly what happened is stupid-Sh1fty- wrote:
Just to clarify in case I've been sending the wrong message. Zimmerman is innocent of murder in my opinion and rightfully defended himself while being attacked...but he's still an idiot.
Martin isn't too smart either for confronting a guy who could, according to you guys, totally kick his ass.

Zimmerman has a police record for resisting a police officer and also a restraining order was filed against him by an ex. That shows he's an angry guy with a penchant for violence. Hurr durr-Sh1fty- wrote:
I donno man, if he did deal drugs and steals it says something about his character that he'd be more likely to maybe start something he shouldn't. Z also had a criminal record so that kind of cancels things out. Confrontation in the dictionary isn't ignoring a 9/11 operator. The confrontation happened when Martin supposedly attacked Zimmerman. Following somebody in a car isn't confrontation.
How many calls to police did Z make, 46? What does that tell you.-Sh1fty- wrote:

If he dealt drugs, he dealt drugs. It's not your job to determine character, and even if it was, character has nothing to do with what actually happened. What we do know is that Zimmerman was A) substantially larger and B) Zimmerman had a gun, and Martin did not. Regardless of whatever people who do not know either of them are projecting onto this thing.-Sh1fty- wrote:

So you know just by looking at someone if they are going to kill you?AussieReaper wrote:
