From what we know and Zimmerman took a lie detector test on - Martin took it from verbal to fist. He also continued to break the law by continuing to hit Zimmerman when he was down (mounted him). Zimmerman (possibly) broke the law when he shot Martin. If someone comes up to us with a "problem" that doesnt give us the ability to assult them.
I know if some dude came up to me and said "WTF are you doing here". I would be like "relax - im here staying with my parents etc.
Whenever someone talks of Martin they dont talk about the confrontation and how he handled it. They automatically resort to "he had skittles and ice tea, is that wrong?" . Im not talking about his candy or choise of drink. I am talking about the confrontation that led to a fight that led to a death.
I dont think I would ever assult someone unless they threw on my first or made a comment about my dog. Fucking love my dog brew hehe.

Unfortunately, lie detector tests means nothing in a court of law.
Zimmerman definitely started the harassment. None of us will know who said what and who threw the first punch.
We do know that Zimmerman was about twice the age of the kid if I recall correctly. Zimmerman insisted on starting this confrontation after he was told not to, I don't care who it was on the phone at 911 but they had way more authority than he did.
What he did was wrong and he should and will be punished for it. We don't need vigilantes running around our neighbourhoods with guns trying to protect us from people that are suspicious (Black). If you see something you report it to the police and let the authorities deal with it.
