Look, try and see this from Trayvon Martins point of view. You were walking down the street to get some sweets or shit idk. You somehow notice a car with a creepy looking guy inside. You realise that it has been following you for a while. Is it a cop? You don't know. You feel a little uneasy. The creepy man in the car continues to follow you. In the end you have two choices: fight or flight. You can't run away cause the other guy has a car, so you turn around to confront the guy. Make sure to look tough so he doesn't know you are scared, but really you are. If this guy was a cop he would have shown ID by now. So who is he? A kidnapper? Rapist? Mugger? Terrorist? Rival gang member? Also notice how much bigger he is than you. That scares you too. You can't run because he has a car and it looks like you won't win a fight either. He shouts and accuses you of stuff, still doesn't tell you who he is or what he wants.
I think Martins is perfectly justified in defending himself. Imagine if you replaced Martins with a woman, how different the situation would look then? Zimmerman should have gone to jail for a long time. Justice was not served.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
