we know he lied - his own lawyer admitted it.
but the thing is, he did tell the truth about wanting to exit the fight (when he was taking a major ass whooping).
Doesn't matter if he jumped outta the car with a 9mm, fake ass MMA skills, and was muttering profanity about these f-ing punks that always get away. Doesn't matter if he started it (we have zero proof either man threw first punch, only that he lost the fight).
under fl law, one can START a fight, start losing, decide he wants to exit, then shoot his way out. The prob isn't with zimmerman being a cowboy or a punk or losing a fight or profiling, all which are probably true - it's with FL law that allows a person to jump outta truck with a 9mm and chase a miinor two blocks with a gun, confront and cause altercation, then shoot weapon once it goes sideways. That's the law though. If you don't like it, call gov rick scott and tell him lol.
