if this is enough to justify lethal force, damn I missed a couple occasions to kill people apparently, Zimmerman was 5'7'' and 185 at the time he was getting mauled to death by this ''giant piece of man'' that was Treyvon he didn't know how to kick or punch back his only option was to blow shit up the American way |
Did you feel like your life was in danger or that serious bodily harm would occur? If not then the circumstances are completely different. Zimmerman was engadged by a Martin and thought that his intent was to cause serious bodily harm or to kill him.
If Zimmerman hadn't shot Martin, then the beating would have continued and Zimmerman's face would have looked far worse at the very least.
Think of it like this. You are being attacked by a man that you had never spoken to, or met, you have no idea what they are capable of or what they may do to you. They only thing you know is that you are now punched and thrown to the pavement. Don't you think it is logical to think that this man may mean to cause serious bodily harm or to kill you?
If this circumstance happened to me, I would be in fear for my safety and life. I'm pretty sure you would be to.
