Zimmerman probably called him a racist slur as he was walking away and that made the kid flip out.
Morally Zimmerman is scum and totally at fault for the situation but if the kid was the first one to throw a punch it's not a sort of fault the law recognizes.

Now you're just playing semantics.
No - you are.
You are intentionally using the emotionally laden word "child" in order to evoke an image that does not contrast with what really happened. It is the same game the media is playing; use semantically engineered language that incites outrage and therefore generates more hits/attention.

City officials issued a statement, they said was approved by Sanford Police Captain Robert O'Connor, condemning the group's appeal and asking citizens to leave all arrests to them.
"The City is requesting calm heads and no vigilante justice," the statement said. "Attempts by civilians to take any person into custody may result in criminal charges or unnecessary violence."
Thatw as gold ash. I don't know why you didn't get any recognition. Well done.

Oh. I see. Does teenager work better for you? Okay, let's do that.
What's repulsive is that an adult shot and murdered an unarmed teenager, hasn't been charged or arrested, and there are people defending the murderer. That's truly repulsive.
Does that make your warped reasoning appear more valid to you?
Fool.

The teenager wasn't unarmed when he was shot. He was wielding Zimmerman's head as a blunt instrument...

Well, Zimmerman's head was empty, so the kid was obviously unarmed.

No witness that we are aware of saw the start of the actual fight. None of them. So, none of us can say Martin attacked Zimmerman first or vice-versa. Anyone who does so is showing bias and an urge to come to a predetermined conclusion.
Zimmerman has given two very different versions of how the fight started. At first, he said he had just gotten out of his SUV to check the street sign and Martin came out of nowhere and attacked him. A few days later, his lawyer said that Zimmerman had followed Martin for a while, then turn around and then Martin attacked him.
At least one of those versions is a lie. Quite possibly both versions are lies. How can we trust anything a liar says when it's a matter of being charged with manslaughter or something?

No - because you were not there and do not know what happened. You're just making up a scenario that satisfies your infantile temper tantrum. So, go ahead and fantasize and weep your stupid little tears; the rest of us will wait for the facts to arise during the actual trial.

Pretty much.

Excuse me, but Zimmerman is alive. Martin is dead. I didn't argue how or why. I said it is what it is. You wanted to argue the semantics of child, kid, teenager. And now you want to argue something else as if you're suddenly above it all.
You really are a fool.

Martin is dead because he attacked a guy who had a gun.
He shouldn't have done that.
