They gave me everything I wanted and then some, while I was trying to take them into custody. How many of you would shoot someone that has you mounted and throwing punches at your head, which causes your head to be driven into concrete? There is no physical evdence to indicate that Trayvon was ever struck by Zimmerman. Z had no injuries to his hands/knuckles to indicate that he struck Trayvon. Trayvon had no injuries to indicate that Z ever struck him. It is a very sad incident, but there is no evidence that Z wasn't justified.
Why didn't Trayvon call 911 or have his female friend call the cops or his father? These are the questions no one has asked. And will probably never be asked.
