Quote from CaptainObvious:
Maybe, maybe not. Do we know FOR SURE who threw the first punch? Giving you the argument that Zimmerman started the fight, found himself getting his ass kicked in a big way and then shoots "little tray" dead, it's still not Murder II. It's manslaughter, which is why Zimmerman will walk because some politically motivated DA made the wrong charge. Again, we're in no way sure Zimmerman wasn't just doing his job, however poorly, asked the kid what he was doing and "little tray" jumped his ass. If that's the case Zimmerman had every right to defend himself.
