You successfully point out that the facts (including some you assumed up-thread) are unknow.
As to use of deadly force being legal in only certain cases? The only phyisical evidence matches Zimmerman’s story that he was getting his head bashed in. Unless facts - not supposition- show he started the physical confrontation, that’s one of those cases. Even if he was verbally threatening or abusive. To wit: you are not allowed to bash someone’s head in for being mean.

That is correct.
But if you have reason to fear for your life you can strike the first blow.
My point again is that here was a black kid, a street kid, being stalked by a vehicle. Dark night, all alone on the street.
You don’t think he was scared?
He was a street kid expecting a beat down.
Martin was a thug.
Zimmerman was stupid.
