I've stated all along that both parties were/are morons. This is what happens when they meet on rainy nights.

Even if TM did not start it, at some point he knocked Zim a good one. He didnt need to continue the assault. If he had one ounce of self preservation instinct, he should have backed off when he clearly put Z on his back. Z was no longer a threat.
Let's assume you are correct. We don't know how long Trayvon continued to beat Zimmerman. Your argument would hold more weight if we knew for sure how long the fight (and supposed life threatening beating) lasted.

Isn't that how this "race game" **** works? Oh yeah, I'm playing along now.
That's just dumb. You've posted blatantly racist comments over the past hour or two, I called you on it, and then you called me a racist in rebuttal. Your response isn't even clever, it just backs up popular opinion that racist people are dumb. You can keep "playing," but you'll just make yourself look stupider.

No one is hating on Martin, show the posts where people are hating on Martin. They are bringing up Martin's past of course, and some of it is ridiculous, but no where near the vile hate being spewed about Zimmerman.

If Martin shot Zimmerman in self-defense, the state would have to prove Martin did not shoot in self-defense.

I already stated I think Zimmerman is not telling the whole truth, and even initiated the conflict, but there is no evidence to counter Zimmerman's claims.

Context.

You mean--if Zimmerman had punched Martin in the nose, breaking his nose, and was then attempting to murder Martin by banging his head into the ground?

If Zimmerman has attacked Martin, was kicking his ass, banging his head on the concrete and feared for his life? No problem shoot Zimmerman dead.

Oh nos not what you expected was it.
