Which is why I believe that it is irrelevant whether or not Trayvon struck first. Zimmerman is the aggressor by dint of his stalking the boy (who would have every reason to suspect that his stalker intended to attack or mug him).
I do not think murder was on Zim's mind, but what happened was certainly his fault, as his actions provoked everything which followed and I do not accept that he fired in self-defense as a result. The state should have gone for manslaughter, because that's what really happened.
EXACTLY! If he had gotten manslaughter, I would've agreed with it, I would've said it's justice. He didn't need to be called a murderer, but his actions were entirely unnecessary. I even think the act of shooting the kid was unnecessary but at least that's debatable. Is anyone really going to debate the fact that chasing after some kid who you aren't even sure is guilty of anything or even considering doing something in the middle of the fucking night after he's been aware of you leering at him in a parked car was already stupid, irresponsible, and the cause of that which followed? Of COURSE he got the shit kicked out of him; the kid probably thought Zimmerman was after HIM! Trayvon's own actions were probably self-defense.
