trayvon wasn't charged with a crime

and he'd have a tough time arguing that zimmerman following him was reasonable justification for violent self defense, including continuing to pin zimmerman to the ground and hit his head against the sidewalk after subduing him

but he'd at least have a case for SYG, yes

for some reason, people think trayvon is on trial here. he's not. it's possible that BOTH parties acted within their rights. there are scenarios in which two parties can both be acting in self defense based upon a reasonable apprehension of danger. it's all about a reasonable perception of danger, not who was right or wrong.

zimmerman being acquitted doesn't mean trayvon was found guilty of anything
