dr2005, are you viewing the situation as if you are Trayvon Martin? You need to be able to separate what you think you would do in the case. You state you started fights but you won't go pummel in someone's head has nothing to do with this situation. Trayvon Martin did do damage to Zimmerman's face and back of head. He was sitting on Zimmerman when he was shot.

It is a good thing that people do not let emotions dictate the court case. It requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Most people have issues regarding this and instead go with their emotions. A psychology experiment was set up and they found that a shocking amount of students would convict people without even evidence.

One thing that still bothers me is why did Trayvon Martin never call the police? If someone is following you, wouldn't you want to call the police? He was talking to his friend on the phone so he did have a phone. I would call 911 before getting into a fight with someone following me.
