That's not self defense in any way. He already called authorities and was told to stand down but instead he went AFTER him with his GUN. Unless the kid had an actual weapon, then this is cold blooded thrillkill murder.

So what will you do if the evidence supports the idea that Zimmerman was confronted/attacked going back to his car, and there was a real life and death struggle that ensued? We've only heard one side of this story. I agree with you, if that is indeed what happened it's a travesty, but we can't have lynch mobs out their own brand of justice. The police screwed this whole thing up by not looking at the bigger picture of the situation, but there still has to be a chance to hear the other side where they decided that the evidence supported Zimmerman. Does anyone remember the Duke Lacrosse case? Public opinion was all over that one too, and they had to eat crow. It's completely normal to react that way to the situation but you can't ignore that there might be another side.
