In self defense. Mainly because I don't jump on dudes and start wailing away on them. If I did do that and the guy I wailing on shot me before I finished him off, well that's on me.
If the dude I was wailing on was a jackass, well, being a jackass is not a justifiable reason to be freely wailed on.
And that's my comments on the actual La'affaire Zimmerman.

Going through a frame by frame rewind of the events of that night, the only illegal thing that occurred was the felony assault with intent to do bodily harm.
That was the pivot point.
Getting out of the car, following, not heeding the 911 dispatcher was not illegal.
The lead investigator was fired because he would not charge Zimmerman.
+1 on your comments and ditto on Marty's.
Actually, marty, Zimmerman didn't even fail to heed the dispatcher, even if the statement, "We don't need you to do that," counts as an order.
He only got out of teh truck after being asked twice where Martin went. Only after he had been out of teh truck for a bit did the dispatcher even ask him if he was following the subject. Only THEN did the statement, "We don't need you to do that," happen. At which point, Zimmerman apparently stopped and headed back to his truck, talking to dispatch about where he would meet the cops who were en route.
That was beyond the "Pertinent Instant".
None of that activity was illegal or in question.
The one "What If" that matters is "What if Trayvon didn't attack?"
That would have changed everything.
