Otherwise, it'd mean that we're advocating pre-emptive violence on anyone following you. Which isn't a crime.
Oh I agree. But with the law even if Zimmerman attacked first he could still get off. A little while ago I head that the defendants were trying to use that law in the case of the bouncer stabbing. These guys were being drunk assholes and got themselves kicked out of a bar and outside a fight started and the bouncer got stabbed and died. And they are trying to say that they should get away with that because even though they could have easily just left like they were being asked, the law says it was perfectly acceptable for them to stay and fight.
