After being knocked down by Martin, Zimmerman was on his back with Martin on top being assaulted by Martin with the assistance of a concrete sidewalk being used as a weapon by Martin. Zimmerman shot him off. Justifiable homicide.

Zimmerman did not do anything illegal or outside what another reasonable person might have done. The media frenzy made it a racial circus. The facts however won out.

I still think Zimmerman is slightly lower than whale manure on the scale of good people in the worl but in that single incident he was legaly justified.

I agree Zimmerman could have made different choices. So could Martin. In the end we had no winners. That is a very true statement about life. Often unfair and with no winners.
