I believe he attacked Zimmerman and had his head pounded against the pavement. Zimmerman felt his life was threatened and he shot the young male. It was a tragic end but I think the evidence at trial did show Trayvon's actions precipitated the immediate event that led his being shot. This was already tried in a court of law. I agree it was unfortunate Trayon died, but the evidence weighed heavily on the side of Zimmerman's defense, which was of course "self defense". Zimmerman had a license to carry a concealed firearm. The license to carry concealed firearms are awarded liberally in Florida. Many states it is near impossible to get such a license with the exception of retired law enforcement. I obviously took exception to the "teenager" description as it is used to frequently by the press to soften the image of some people involved in crimes. I don't mean to insinuate that you meant to soften the appearance of Martin. I was reacting to the "teenager" description.
