I disagree. Martin was doing nothing wrong, and committed no crime. Zimmerman confronted him, or at the very least put himself int a situation where there was a confrontation with Martin. He followed Martin after 911 told him not to.

I don't see deadly force being justified here at all. Martin didn't have a gun, a knife, a baseball bat, or a even a rock. All he had was a bag of skittles. There's no doubt in my mind that Martin was getting the best of Zimmerman, but Zimmerman walked away with a bloody lip and two cuts. That's not"life threatening".
