Would you punch then knock down someone for watching, following, or questioning you then bounce their skull into the sidewalk?

If the grown stranger had a gun, you bet I would.
And you'd meet the same fate Martin did. The 'smoking gun' in this case is the EYE WITNESS named "John". John SAW AND HEARD ZIMMERMAN SCREAMING FOR HELP. This is crucial to the case because it PROVES Zimmerman was being assaulted. THAT IS ALL HE NEEDS TO PROVE HE ACTED IN SELF-DEFENSE.
Here is John's statement: "The guy on the bottom (Zimmerman) who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…' and I told him to stop and I was calling 911"
Now, if Zimmerman threw the first punch, the "Stand Your Ground" law goes out the window but in the end, Zimmerman still acted in self-defense, right?
