The police report says his back was wet and he was bleeding from the head and nose. I don't think he did a quick draw on the guy. I think the guy got him down and Zimmerman was losing the fight. He pulled it and shot.
I just don't see how you can say this was a quick draw unless you don't believe the police report. If that's the case then I can't debate the issue from that angle.

Oh come on... This was no child. He looks like a man in any recent picture I have seen. What you are saying is any teen thug can run wild assaulting anyone and we can't protect ourselves? I will shoot any thug that even tries to assault me and I am not going to ask for ID before I do it. Are you living in reality?

Ok, so now Trayvon knew he had a gun? I doubt he did. In any case, I really doubt Zimmerman was the first to throw a punch. He may have called him a vulgar name and I think that is what set this kid off. I think the kid picked the wrong time to be a hard a$$.

I think the victim had a hot head and he turned to confront someone asking a question in a way that may have been vulgar or insulting. Maybe Zimmerman instigated him verbally? Maybe that provoked a physical assault by the Trayvon. I think the kid had a chip on his shoulder and decided that Zimmerman was an easy target.

I guess I can't debate that. If Zimmerman, the witnesses and the police are lying then I guess Zimmerman will get away with it!
Come on.. This was an altercation and I highly doubt the police are lying when they describe the condition of Zimmerman when they arrived. I fond it really a stretch to believe what you are saying here.
There is nothing wrong with running. He was a hot headed punk like most teenagers these days. He just picked the wrong block to display the idiocy.

I suppose Zimmerman could have grabbed him but I highly doubt it. I think Zimmerman may have called out a vulgar insult associated with African Americans and that set this kid off. That is what I really think happened. Does that give the kid justification to launch a physical assault? Absolutely not.
People really need to think before the leap. This kid, IMO did not.

No, I don't know he was a hot headed teenager but I know if you just glace over at some of these "teenagers" they will launch into a verbal diatribe if not an outright physical assault. I have seen it at stop lights more than once and I just keep looking then drive away.
I know the type. You on the other had seem to know him and his demeanor on that night very well. I am speculating but you know the facts huh? I think he was a hot headed punk.
