so i suppose you completely disregard the fact that zimmerman pursued the kid and initiated whatever conflict they had?

He followed someone he found to be suspicious in his neighborhood he was in his right to do so. In other words it's not illigal. The kid should have just kept on till his dads house, and not snuck up and attacked Zimmerman. 

As a member of the neighborhood watch, he should have known not to follow him as he was instructed to do so by 911. If the situation was reversed and Martin shot Zimmerman because he felt threatened that some strange guy was following home. I doubt you'd feel the same way. As someone that's been followed before, I can't say what I would have done in the same situation. Although going straight home wouldn't have been my first thought, I don't want to lead a potential threat to my place of residence.

The sad thing about that statement is that if Trayvon had got the gun and shot Zimmerman, only the local media would have covered the story.  The nation would have NEVER heard about it.  And they certainly wouldn't have run pictures of Zimmerman as a 12/13 yr old Hispanic boy shot by the 6 ft "thug."
