Being surly does not equal pounding someone's head into the pavement while on top of them. You keep leaving that part out.
NO, I just don't consider it relevent, since all he got were two little owies...
Getting your ass kicked in a fight you provoked is not "self-defense", it's murder.
He did not provoke it, or they would have convicted him.
I guess you would have taken the beating "like a man." More than likely it would have caused brain damage if it continued, which in your case, could only improve your intellect.
Ever been in a fistfight? I have, a great many of them. Very seldom does anything other than a bloody nose result from them.
It was Zimmermann stalking Martin, not the other way around. And had I been stalked by a 30 year old at night when I was 17, I would have kicked his ass, figuring that he was some sort of deviant.
This was a clear case of manslaughter, maybe even 2nd degree murder. And Zimmermann got off. And is now acting the hero.
