However, there is absolutely no fucking way that this whole incident wasn't instigated/initiated by Zimmerman. You don't get to start a fight, get your ass beat and then kill the person, claiming it was self defense. It's not self defense if you started it. What Martin did was self defense.
According to forensic evidence - Martin started the physical altercation.
The law says you don't have to "take a beating"- it says you are allowed to defend yourself. You are allowed to use any force necessary to stop someone from attacking you.
There is no section of law that says you are allowed "to beat the muthafucka" for hassling you.
Zimmerman was an asshole. There is no law against that.
If I remember correctly (and I may not) the earliest investigation of the incident concluded that it was entirely avoidable - by Zimmerman.
