Now judging from that article the police didn't tell him "Don't follow him" they told him "you don't need to do that" they imply 2 different things. 1's an order, the other a suggestion.

So being NHW he did nothing wrong, he was doing his job.

He then goes back to his car only to find that the kid has followed him, the kid asks him what his problem is, Zimmerman say's "I don't have 1" then the kid say's "Well YOU DO NOW", punches him to the ground, JUMPS ON TOP OF HIM and carries on beating him?

I mean you can say Zimmerman is a big boy and went too far pulling out a gun, but he's on the deck bleeding at this point and how far is too far? Didn't the kid go TOO FAR by punching and decking him, where do you really draw the line?

The kid already had Zimmerman on his back and could easily have put him in a coma and even killed him if Zimmerman didn't shoot him.

All in all as sad and as fucked up as the whole thing is I call none racially motivated and self defence.

Several people, have come out disputing Zimmermans account, some of the stuff stated in the article is simply untrue.

Based upon Zimmermans original testimony, and other witness testimony it seems more plausible that Zimmerman approached Martin and an altercation ensured afterwards, without the story as stated.

Lastly, the Orlando Sentinel is absolute crap. It's a partisan rag posing as "news". Every editorial or news story I've ever read out of that shithole has been regurgitation of right wing talking points.

An actual timeline by a real news source.
