my view on the trayvon case?

[Curtis B]

I believe Zimmerman followed, kid panicked and attacked.

Until the initial blow was struck no one was doing anything illegal. It depends on the level the fight escalated too. If he did get him pinned down and was hitting his head into the concrete that does constitute a threat of death or GBH but in order to be self defense he may need to prove innocent of provocation. His keeping on eye on Travon in and of itself does not remove that. If he swung first, initiated an argument, then he loses that criteria.

Noted: Zimmerman was not arrested after the police investigation until media and celebrity pressure required them to to reverse that decision. Should the facts come out showing Zimmerman was innocent and handled himself correctly, are on of those people/outlets going to reimburse him for his defense costs?

I think your opinion of the event is biased upon your feeling of guns/gun owners

I know many gun owners and carriers. Hundreds of them that I know do not act in that bravado fashion, 1 does.:/ And if Zimmerman was the rarer example, Travon would never have gotten on top of him.
