The SYG defense comes directly from Zimmerman's camp. Ask them why they are using it.

There's another thing nobody seems to want to mention. The fact that Zimmerman didn't have his gun out points to Treyvon attacking Zimmerman suddenly, not giving him the time to pull it out and try to make Treyvon stand down.

Clearly you have not seen the map of where the confrontation occurred. Zimmerman did not stop pursuing Martin when asked.
Also, getting one's ass kicked when one is directly responsible for the confrontation taking place does not fall in line with self-defense. The accountability factor falls squarely on the living participant of the confrontation.
