Let's speculate (which is what we're all doing anyways) that Zimmerman HADN'T been armed and that Treyvon had, as has been alleged, attacked Zimmerman. Obviously this all hangs on if there's actual physical evidence of such attack and Treyvon being the alleged aggressor.
Would you then defend Treyvon with such fervor? What would have given Treyvon the right to allegedly attack Zimmerman?

Martin would have had been justified in his use of force due to his initial avoidance of a potential conflict (running away). However, Zimmerman kept coming after him.
Martin had a reasonable fear that the person who was watching him and then left their vehicle to follow him on foot (at night throughout the neighborhood) would harm him.
If you saw someone watching you at night and began running in the opposite direction and found that they wouldn't stop following you, what would you eventually do?
