What he did up to the point of getting beaten to a pulp is irrelevant, not only in this case, but in every case. Self-defense is self-defense, not proactive ass kicking.

According to Rochard, you're supposed to just lie and wait there, get punched, get your head beat against the concrete and see if you survive and hope for no brain damage. Then just go home. Of course, if your attacker see's your pistol and goes for it... just close your eyes hope for the best.
He doesn't believe anything he's saying. He started out with a very visceral, highly emotional reaction (most likely because he has kids this age) and went with that feeling to determine "Martin is innocent no matter what and Zimmerman is a murderer no matter what"... everything said after the fact is just silliness because he's painted himself into a corner based on feelings, not facts.
Even better... he then is forced into disagreeing, not only with the evidence that was heard, but with the Court, a jury of 5 moms who heard all the evidence, the detectives, the police chief, the FBI, the state prosecutors office and every witness that testified. Kind of a hard spot to argue out of with facts and reason, when there are none. You have no choice but to start inventing them.
