When I first read about the story, I reacted with the typical overbearing Liberal outrage. Like Ben, I firlmy believe that Zimmerman instigated and put in motion the events that caused Martin to be killed.
However, given the wording of the law, if Martin even so much as defended himself from Zimmerman in any way, Zimmerman skates because he can claim he felt threatened. Even if that only means Zimmerman had a gun to Martin's head and Martin pushed him away.
