Are you serious that you believe that in a conflict a person who knows that they are armed with a weapon that can kill does not have a higher level of legal (and moral) accountability?

A person that is armed does not go around looking for arguments and fights. George did not do this at all. He followed correct procedure therefore his "blameworthiness" has not increased.

Observing from a safe distance in order to answer the 911 operator's questions of the description of the suspect, location, and direction is NOT the same as pursuing. He lost sight of Trayvon and was returning to his vehicle.

Confrontation means that both parties met at some point, correct? The girl on the phone with Trayvon stated that she specifically heard an exchange of words between the two men before the handset went dead.
Other witnesses also describe a struggle between the two men. That fits the description of a confrontation, correct?
Done. Is that clear?

No, there is a difference between George confronting Trayvon and the other way around. George did not pursue nor confront Trayvon. Trayvon was the one to confront and assault George, who was returning to his vehicle.
