It is dark.  A hooded figure is approaching.  He sees you and starts grumbling, cursing, and acting suspicious. What appears to be a gun poking from his pocket is aimed at you.

You cannot run because you are dead in his sights.  What appears to be a gun barrel is aimed straight at you so running is not an option.  He is sure to try and rob you and then kill you.  There is nothing to do but shoot.  Is it a gun, a finger, or is it a stick of licorice aimed at you?  Gosh, let us put our life in the hands of chance and hope it is candy.

No way. It would be the height of folly to wait and hope this suspicious person, acting crazy at night, is really just a sweet, loving, gentle misunderstood youth who isn't going to rob and kill you.  Most likely he hasn't fire yet because he is trying to get a little closer so the short-barreled gun won't miss.

Yes, I just did type this.  Yes, I really do think Zimmerman has a case for self defense.    [/quote]

You have an amazing gift of imagination and storytelling.  However, what you've said does not match the information that has already come out including 911 tapes and eyewitness interviews.

So far, we know this:  a 17 year old 140-lb black teenager who was armed with skittles and ice tea and wearing a hoodie was walking home from the convenience store.  He was visiting his father, so he had a right to be in the neighborhood (for the amazingly obtuse person who said that "piece of excrement that didn't belong in the neighborhood).  A 28  year old Caucasian man who had a history of violence, and was over 200-lbs was an unauthorized vigilante armed with a gun, phoned 911.  When he described the situation, he used racial epithets.  He was told explicitly not to follow the youth.  He ignored the instructions and followed the youth.  The youth, for some reason (probably fearful he was being stalked or chased, but that is hearsay) ran and the perpetrator now maliciously chased the victim again counter to the instructions of the police.  The youth who was unarmed and fleeing was being chased by the adult with the gun.  The youth ends up dead and the primary suspect  is not being detained.  These are details that were given by family and eyewitnesses in interviews and by evidence of the 911 recordings.

Other than your imagination, do you have anything to support your conjecture above?  Because it really does not have much resemblance to anything that has been published to date about the incident.[/quote]
