My jury is out as well. Rarely is anything as it seems 'round here. It is either a) Zimmerman had a Florida-sized chip on his shoulder and was in the mood for trouble or b) Martin was up for trouble but wasn't prepared for the consequences. I really believe that it was a bit of both. My gut is telling me that Zimmerman was possibly defending himself, but if he was the catalyst to Martins reaction, I think he'll get in a bunch of stink for that.
I know it sounds kinda harsh, but a lot of the times these kids are trouble and that's putting it mildly. It's a shame that it happened from many fronts and it's a real stinker that everyone with an agenda is now hitching their horse to this incident and adding their own spin. Whomever is proven wrong, I'm sure we'll never hear a retraction or apology for inciting further problems.
