You're correct that Zimmerman SAID he shot Martin as he was having his head bashed into a curb by Martin.

Let me ask you a sincere question, do you think that someone who intentionally attempts to garner media and public attention for himself should have expectations for being treated as a private citizen?
Simply because he is polarizing figure that creates views and clicks for whatever news source it is. When his name is mentioned they know that folks will react. Controversy sells! Simple as that.
BINGO.
He brings it upon himself, then tries to act like the victim. We all know one of these losers. He is fooling no one.
-except in this case, he appears to have been stalled by an unbalanced, armed individual.

I disagree with your premise. Zimmerman did not choose to "garner media and public attention for himself," but rather was thrust into the public spotlight because what was and should have been a garden-variety self-defense case, barely worthy of the local news blotter, was made round-the-clock national news for months, and Zimmerman subject to the full Two-Minutes-Hate treatment, day-in and day-out, for all that time. If Zimmerman's own efforts to rehabilitate his reputation and profit, in some small measure, from his experience, *after* all this occurred, justifies ongoing media scrutiny of his every foible, to be cast nationwide whenever it can be used to further damage his reputation...? Well, all I can say is that I disagree with that, and a responsible media would have accepted that they got the story wrong and at least have the decency to let the guy alone going forward.
I say that with no great admiration for Zimmerman, who seems like a rather pedestrian fellow who gets into the types of scrapes that are commonplace for literally tens of thousands of his fellow men, all across this great nation of ours. Yet, he is the one who is on CNN for life, it seems. It reeks of payback.
