Based upon FL law, all Zimmerman has to show is that he is in fear of his life. That's it. Once that is established, he can use the weapon and not be criminally charged for it.

All of the anecdotal stories about Zimmerman being a racist and Zimmerman going after TM and Zimmerman starting the altercation with TM are irrelevant, unfortunately. Once the two are in a serious physical altercation, and one of them feels that he might be killed, he can use the gun. Period.

Now, all of your anecdotal stories would really work well here in NY. I can assure you that Zimmerman is now in a cell doing 15 years for Manslaughter.

But arguing your points based on FL law is a non-starter and makes you look ignorant of the law.
