Starting to punch the person asking questions to the ground (even if they put their hands on you) is a way to take the confrontation to another level. That's what the kid chose to do. He lost that fight. His fault. I don't know enough about law, but Zimmerman's guilty of manslaughter or criminal negligence. Not murdering an "innocent" person.
So, how was it not self defense? You should just let some young person beat on you? You might be a cuckold like that Doctor, but not everyone else is.

Sounds like you're justifying murder here, Caliber...even if Trayvon responded to an unprovoked confrontation by a stranger by becoming defensive (or even belligerent), that doesn't qualify as menacing..surely not worthy of deadly force, yes? So what exactly are you defending here?
Sometimes, it is very simple, with or without 'Cuckold'.
