Or could it be that he was attacked without warning and found himself on his back suddenly and after a few blows, then went for the gun... Sadly, nobody knows...

Hmmm. One of the first things he said was "call my wife and tell her I shot someone". Maybe his frustration level was high enough to discuss it with her and then carry out his plan.

I mean, that's kind of an odd thing to ask someone to do or say, isn't it?

If someone was obviously following me, I would call them creepy too. And I would probably add several choice words also.

One thing people are forgetting about. Remember when Obama said If I had a son? Maybe he do.

Just think, the Magic Negro has a son, who has those amazing Magic Negro hands. Everyone knows those Magic Negro hands don't bruise, bleed, even hurt. He was pounding on this pudgy, obese, soft little whitie hispanic guy like a jackhammer in a watermelon patch.

Zimmerman was no match for the Magic Negro. Indeed. If Obama had a son, we wouldn't need any drones to get the job done!
LOL you kill me. jackhammer in a water melon patch??? Lmfao.....

Love how people are worried about what Trayvon said in describing somebody following him! Why does this matter? He was speaking to a friend on the phone and probably was scared as hell.
What you should be worried is why was Zimmermann chasing this kid to begin with and shot him point blank.

I tend to see it as you described. He was getting owned and panicked or maybe he was enraged. A punch in the face would pizz the pope off.
In the end a man is dead and another's life forever changed.

So which is it?

He was able to defend himself. Isn't that the point with "self defense"? Looks to me like he did put into practice what he's learned. He didn't fire wild like an idiot and harm innocent bystanders. He didn't miss. One shot. Done.

What more do you want?
True, he is a good shot

Remember when he said he forgot he was carrying his gun? How many have a CC and forget it?

At any rate, he also said he didn't think he hit him. I thought that funny given how close the gun was to the chest.

Oh, please. That's getting very old and tiresome. NOBODY cares that Obama made the comment that basically if he had had a son, his son would have been a black kid too. I think most of us have eyes and can see, and that was NOT news to anyone. Maybe politics and what you consider political correctness controls criminal trials in Canada where YOU live, but not so much here. The only "political conviction" I can think of in the somewhat recent past was Leonard Peltier.

How, pray tell, can either side or the Judge control the verdict of a jury of 6 women? If George were going to be "sacrificed" the State would be doing a much, much, much better job. At the moment they are not looking so good.
