Let me rephrase that. Zimmerman had his firearm in a holster in his waistband under his jacket behind him, and he was able to pull his firearm out while Martin was on top of him hitting him?

You betcha.

Zimmerman already had his gun out.



Zimmerman wasn't beaten badly at all. He had a fat lip and two cuts. He never even needed to see a doctor.



Again, I believe Zimmerman was not only following him, but had his firearm out. Martin was acting in self defense.



Nope. I believe Martin would have gone to jail.

I'm not saying Martin is innocent here. But there was no reason to kill him. Zimmerman was the agrressive one, and pursued the kid for no reason, threatening him. Don't give me any shit he feared for his life. He wasn't even hurt.
