"Also, Zimmerman is 28 while Martin was 17 and 100 pounds lighter. Is Zimmerman that much of a wimp that he wouldn’t have been able to handle a kid in a physical confrontation without shooting him?"

Some say the "kid" was over 200 lbs, 6'-3" and a varsity athlete. Does anyone actually know what Trayvon's height and weight was?

Wikipedia puts Martin at 6’3”, 140 lbs. and Zimmerman at 5’9” 250 lbs. Not the most reliable source, I know, but those numbers seem consistent with other news reports about this incident. I think I remember someone saying that Zimmerman is actually 5’2” which would change things quite a bit, but I haven’t seen that repeated anywhere.
