. Zimmerman never had to get out of the SUV in the first place, and even if Martin did attack him, why was he unable to get him to stop simply by drawing the weapon

What if clear evidence were to turn up that Zimmerman actually started the fight?
Would the "self defense" law still apply? Would you be willing to admit he was in the wrong?

Zimmerman did not know if treyvon had a gun

When the Retreat at Twin Lakes community told Sanford police it wanted to start a neighborhood watch, city volunteer program coordinator Wendy Dorival spoke to them in September 2011. Her PowerPoint presentation, and a neighborhood watch manual the city makes available, both make clear: Don't confront. "The philosophy is, 'No weapons. Don't confront. Call the police,' " Dorival said Wednesday. She said that was her last dealings with the neighborhood, which chose its own leaders and had no sanctioning or accrediting relationship with law enforcement. The National Sheriff's Association said Wednesday it has "no information indicating the community where the incident occurred has ever even registered with the NSA Neighborhood Watch program."
So again according to the logic presented by you Trayvon could not have known Zimmerman had a gun (turns out he did contrary to sanctioned "watch" regulations, which he was not a part of) and was acting accordingly as well. This is why this need to be investigated to the fullest when a life has ended.
Do you dispute your logic can be used for Trayvon as well? PLEASE dispute me on a point by point basis if you can.edit on 24-3-2012 by GhettoRice because: added infoedit on 24-3-2012 by GhettoRice because: (no reason given)

I haven't had time to dig through all the pages do if this has already been addressed please let me know. Did the witness who saw Zimmerman getting attacked call 911? If not why would someone witness an attack not call 911? If he was a friend of Zimmerman did he rush to his aid?
If I saw a friend getting attacked I think try to help him/her out 1st then dial 911. In a situation where seconds count calling 911 first would be a waste of time.

If that was the case, and the clear evidence was presented showing that it happened the way you think it did in the court of law then sure, it would be Zimmermans fault, because he would have been proven guilty. That doesn't seem to be the case now. No one is jumping to conclusions, it just doesn't work that way until proven guilty in the court of law.
Curiously, the real police did not seem interested. That is one of the circumstances that makes Zimmerman's story questionable.

So how about spreading some of the blame on the Police Department as well, and just not Zimmerman. Something isn't right, failed standard procedures on the Police Departments behalf and the Chief temporarily stepping down. I think there is more to this story then just Zimmerman.
