Welcome to the reasonable side of the discussion. We've been waiting for you.

Any punch can be life threatening. If hit just right, you could kill a person with the first punch. But that doesn't mean someone can punch you and then you can shoot and kill him.
A few years ago I "tripped and fell" while walking on a sidewalk. (Please, try not to snicker and laugh at me.) One moment I was walking on the sidewalk, the next moment I was in an ambulance on my way to the ER. No one saw what happened; It seems I tripped and fell flat on my face. I tripped and fell on concrete, was knocked unconscious for twenty minutes, was rushed to the ER, and spent the next year in and out of doctor's offices getting fixed up. Zimmerman was "beat down" on concrete and had only two little cuts?
His story just doesn't add up.
