A fist fight you are losing does not give you the grounds to kill someone with a firearm. Unless Martin was bringing deadly force to Zimmerman by using a weapon or knife or pipe or something like that, Zimmerman was not justified in using a firearm to kill this kid

And no amount of puffery by sad sacks like you Zimmerman supporters can change that definition of the law

Zimmerman was losing a fight. He responded to the a$$ whipping he was getting by shooting the person who was getting the best of him. Case closed

You weren’t there, goofball. Guess what, if you were to jump me, I would shoot you. Teachable moment.

Zimmerman was losing a fight.

It wasn't a fight, blockhead.

It wasn't 2 guys in a bar arguing over a girl or a football team.

IF it went down as Zimmerman said (and if he's lying, I don't know that and neither do you), THEN what he did was justified.

That's all I'm saying.

IF he ended up on the ground with a huge man on top of him, with said huge man pounding his head into the pavement, THEN he was justified in shooting.

Period.

He could be lying. If he is, then all bets are off.

But as of now, all we have is what we have, and that is that witnesses seem to have corroborated what Zimmerman said happened and what he said happened is he got sucker-punched (that's NOT a fight, asshole) and then jumped, and then proceeded to get his head slammed repeatedly against the pavement.

That. Is. Not. A. Fight. Asshole.
