Zimmerman can't go with the "stand your ground" defense because he wasn't standing his ground or defending himself, but instead was pursuing Martin - he was following him.
Even self defense doesn't fly with me. This was a fist fight, and Zimmerman was never in any serious damage. He didn't even go to the hospital. I've had a lot worse beat downs than this.

People watch way too much TV and think they are James Bond.
Seems to me Zimmerman was one of those persons. Being on the neighborhood watch is great, but being armed while doing it sounds a bit over the top to me.
