>How do you know that is all he did? What evidence can you provide that Zimmerman didn’t have some sort of verbal exchange with Martin that led to the physical fight and Zimmerman drawing the weapon he was carrying?

There is a witness that backs up Zimmerman’s account that he was on his way back to his truck when Martin jumped him.

Every witness that has come forth to date has claimed they only witnessed the LAST MOMENTS of the fight. Noone has come forth and said they witnessed Zimmerman's FIRST approach to Martin. Nor has anyone witnessed when Zimmerman FIRST emerged from his vehicle. So you are attempting to talk about things that noone has provided real evidence of. Nothing would have happened had Zimmerman stayed in the car and let the police handle things

Nothing would have happened if Martin had not thrown a punch.

Actually nothing would have happened had Zimmerman followed the advice of the police dispatcher and stayed in his vehicle. That seems to be some hard logic for you to accept.

Since Martin did not attack Zimmerman inside his vehicle there would never have been any "first punch" had Zimmerman not tried to engage Martin on foot.

Lets see you refute that fact

“Actually nothing would have happened had Zimmerman followed the advice of the police dispatcher and stayed in his vehicle.”

Yes, that is true. It is also true that nothing would have happened if Trayvon Martin had stayed home. It is very likely nothing would have happened if Trayvon Martin's girlfriend had not called him, delaying him from going home, and likely making his appearance suspicious, as he was talking on a hands free device. Most people have seen someone that appears to be acting crazy, then finds out they are on a cell phone.

All of that, however, is irrelevant, because both Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman had every right to be in the public spaces that they were in, until the physical altercation started.

Again you’ve never explained what Zimmerman did that was wrong beyond following someone.

Gee, let’s expand on that logic. If Martin had not been suspended and thus in a strange neighborhood moving around at night , he wouldn’t have attracted Zimmerman’s attention as suspicious. See, it’s back on Martin again. That’s exactly as much of a stretch as the nonsense you are peddling.

>Since Martin did not attack Zimmerman inside his vehicle there would never have been any “first punch” had Zimmerman not tried to engage Martin on foot.

Well shucks, if Martin hadn’t gone walking in a strange neighborhood, he wouldn’t have caused Zimmerman to get out of the car. See where this goes?

>Lets see you refute that fact

Was I supposed to be impressed by puerile nonsense?
