You hide behind your fallacious use of that statute, while cherry picking from the entire array of circumstances.
For example, it's your reasoning that Martin attacked Zimmerman for no reason at all, from the way that you've disregarded the fact that it was only Zimmerman who was intent on having the confrontation from the git-go and not the other way around.
You've come up with excuses as to why Zimmerman should have been justified to initiate a confrontation, while disregarding the fact that Martin had every right to go about his own business without being unmolested by an armed vigilante.
Who started hunting who here?
If Martin was in fear of his own safety after being chased around by a stranger in the dark, didn't Martin have the right to defend himself... Or did he lose that right to defend himself simply by having the upper hand in a struggle that he never wanted in the first place?
