If someone is following me and asks me what I'm doing and I respond FU, I deserve to be killed for that?
You probably shouldn't respond as FU or be confrontational at all. You eitehr keep walking, answer if you want, or start a big deal over nothing and see what happens. Last time I was in a seedy area and asked what I was doing there, I knew better than to have an attitude back.
Different circumstances, none of us knows what occurred between Zimmerman and TM so it would be wise to refrain from comment going as far as to convict Zimmerman.
Nope, same circumstances.
You thought Trayvon got 'smart' with zimmerman, you know, 'chip on his shoulder' stuff. That's apparently what made zimmerman mad.
So, since this guy got smart with me (and I wasn't even addressing him) and started to take a few steps toward me, all the while cursing me out, would it be correct for me to shoot him?
Surely you have an opinion; you don't seem to be shy about expressing opinions regarding black youth...

Of course. I would not respond that way IRL. But, then again, I'm not a teenager!
I grew up in a 'bad' neighborhood. I know the protocol.
What words? What words dispute his? How can this be? NO ONE else was there, but he and Martin. NO WORDS have disputed what he says. No evidence has disputed what he says.
I'm really wanting to know what you know, which the rest of the world does not know? Not what you feel, not what you heard, but FACTS. What FACTS PROVE Zimmerman is lying? NONE. Notta. Zip. Zilich. They cannot be found, because they do not exist.
You can assume, "feel," and think whatever you want. The facts do not agree with you.
In addition there is an eyewitness who corroborated at least part of Zimmerman's story, where Martin was on top of him beating him just before the gun was fired.

One witness, who has since talked to local television news reporters, told police he saw Zimmerman on the ground with Trayvon on top, pounding him — and was unequivocal that it was Zimmerman who was crying for help. Zimmerman then shot Trayvon once in the chest at very close range, according to authorities.
When police arrived less than two minutes later, Zimmerman was bleeding from the nose, had a swollen lip and had bloody lacerations to the back of his head. Paramedics gave him first aid but he said he did not need to go to the hospital. He got medical care the next day.
What I want to know is with all those windows facing the crime scene, with loud screaming for a long time before the shot was fired, and at a time (7:30 ish) when most people are awake, how did NO ONE see what was happening when the shot was fired?
One witness did see part of the altercation and corraborated Zimmerman's statements regarding it. See the news story that I linked to previously in this thread.

• Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
• When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
• Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
• Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Fortyfive percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
• Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
Statistically, Zimmerman had good sense to suspect the suspicious-looking Martin. This isn't racial profiling, it's good common sense.
