He may have been in danger of nothing more than a good ass whoopin. We'll never know because Rambo didn't stay in his car.The problem with killing people is the removal for all chance to seek redemption. It's why I loath capital punishment. Martin is dead because he caused a man to believe his life was in danger. We'll never know if he was actually trying to kill him or not, but the shooting was justified.We'll never know if Martin was doing anything more than getting skittles because, conveniently enough, the story was told by the person who killed him. It isn't Zimmerman's conduct after being attacked that I question, it's his conduct that set the stage for it.This is GZ's life prior to killing that thug and his life being turned into a living hell.
"After graduating from high school, Zimmerman moved to Lake Mary, Florida, a suburb of Orlando, where he got a job at an insurance agency. Zimmerman took classes at night to obtain a license to sell insurance. It was during this time when he became friends with Lee Ann Benjamin, a real estate agent, and her husband John Donnelly, a Sanford attorney.[3] Benjamin and Donnelly would both later testify on his behalf at his trial in the death of Martin.[8][9] According to Donnelly, in 2004 Zimmerman and an African American friend opened a satellite office of Allstate Insurance which eventually failed a year later.
Zimmerman married Shellie Dean, a licensed cosmetologist in 2007 and, two years later, they rented a townhouse in the Retreat at Twin Lakes. Zimmerman had also previously been employed at a car dealership and a mortgage audit firm.[3][4] Zimmerman enrolled in Seminole State College in 2009 and was working on an associate degree in criminal justice. In December 2011 he was allowed to participate in a school graduation ceremony, even though he was a course credit shy of his degree. He was completing that credit at the time of the shooting. Zimmerman was employed as an insurance underwriter at that time also.[3][4][10]
In early 2011, Zimmerman participated in a citizen forum at the Sanford City Hall to protest the beating of a black homeless man by the son of a white Sanford police officer. During the meeting, Zimmerman claimed he witnessed "disgusting behavior" while participating in a ride-along program with local police; however the police department said it did not know when, if ever, Zimmerman was in that program.[11][12]"

Kinda sounds like the struggling life I had when I was a young adult. He was married and taking college classes while working.
Then came the killing and the libtard obsession with hating him and threatening him, the slander on him and the judge tossing it on technicalities and all.
Yeah, I'm sure your totally superior to him in everyway, bubba. No worries.
GZ did not stalk Travon. He was a neighborhood watch and the area had had a string of burglaries and when he saw a young man walking around in the rain peering into peoples windows he thought he might need to keep an eye on things as he called the cops.
But, no, I'm sure you are right. He was just looking for a kid to kill. Sure.
I'm not making a hero of GZ. I am just pointing out the circumstances the guy lives in and wondering why so many mostly conservative people like you like to shit on GZ these days.
Just maybe if he let the cops do their job, Martin might have had a chance to mend his ways and become a responsible adult. But now he can't because he's dead. And the guy who killed him doesn't deserve a fucking medal.
Yes... and IF Trayvon had just kept walking and not attacked an innocent man, he MIGHT have had a chance to mend his ways.
And IF LBJ hadn't scuttled the Black Culture, Trayvon might have had a father who, along with his mother, would not have allowed his ass to be tramping through other people's property and his ways would not have needed changin'.
The List of "IFs" is a long one and otherwise irrelevant. 'Cause Trayvon's ass be Dayeahd.
I guess I'm just cursed with the ability to see both sides with equal clarity.
So because you don't like killing, GZ is white trash and a scumbag? TMs fists apparently were very persuasive pieces of evidence to GZ that his life was in danger.
The shooting was justified. We don't have to agree on all the other nuances.
'You call someone sitting on your chest beating your head into the concrete, just a 'good old ass whoopin'?
lol, dude, where are you from?
