(13,324 posts)He's the one who followed/stalked Martin. He's the one who ignored advice (not a command, granted) from the dispatcher to lay off. He's the one who had a weapon. His injuries, as I just said above, were quite minor and didn't match his account of having his head slammed repeatedly on the pavement. And finally, he's the one who made it out of the encounter alive.
I guess my main question is, why are you so quick to believe Zim's account of things? He certainly hasn't shown himself to be honest or trustworthy thus far - lying, changing his story, etc. He's also the one with a criminal record and demonstrated anger issues (domestic violence etc.) - Martin, to my knowledge, never did anything worse than smoke weed or (allegedly) film a fistfight between two friends. He certainly doesn't strike me as a violent criminal in any way, whereas I can't say the same of Zimmerman.
