George Zimmerman was not planning to use his gun that night. I think this is where people are missing the boat with him and letting emotion get in the way of facts. I think a vast majority of the population, if being followed, would hide, call the police themselves or even knock on a door screaming for help.
Martin initiated a violent confrontation. For all of Zimmermans mistakes, which there were many, he did not start the violence. That was the 17 year old who jumped him from behind.
What should have been do to Zimmerman? Got me. While h made some stupid mistakes, Iam struggling to come up with something he id illegal based on the facts presented.

If you have no intention of using a gun, you don't have it with you. It's not a crumbled up $20 bill you find in your pocket by accident.
I guess the last part is where we differ. I feel the confrontation is initiated by stalking someone in the neighborhood. I don't feel that whoever throws the first punch is always the instigator.
