IF that was Zimmerman screaming like mad then I believe (rightly or wrongly) that he felt this. I respect that. But all the same it could have been Trayvon screaming upon seeing the gun too. People can say what they want but I seriously doubt TM was a criminal who was used to gunfights or life or death fights. Most kids that age are going to freak out when someone points a gun at them even if they act like tough gangsters (which TM was NOT).
If you pull a gun on most unarmed 17 yo kids or otherwise show that you have one during a fight they are going to run like hell, beg for their life, or scream for help. They aren't going threaten you with "you are going to die tonight" (unless they are on something). The whole thing just smells funny like GZ freaked out a bit and went overboard in more than one way and then made up some parts of the story to make him look the best. I don't know what is true. I wasn't there. But that is how it seems to me.
