If I'm walking at night...
and some fat dude WITH A GUN has chased me for two blocks through the rain and darkness...
it's not going to be a conversation when he finally catches me. I'm going to hit him with a fcking brick, a fist, etc.
No doubt trayvon felt threatened - he had run two blocks, according to zimmerman on the 911 call.
I think ANY one of us... if some armed dude has chased us 2 blocks at night, isn't going to start the conversation with a pleasant "Can I help you, sir?" Hell yes, I'm going to fight him, hell yes I'm going to smash him head on the ground until his armed ass isn't conscious - or I'm gonna get shot in the back the moment I walk away.
(Plus, when zimmerman went on CNN to tell his story, it was so hollywood textbook, you know it was a lie - He told me he was going to kill me, banged my head on concrete for 60 seconds, he grabbed my gun, i started to black out..." Lies, lies, lies. When it has all 4 tenets of a legal shoot, and zimm's dad is a judge, yeah...)
