    He didn't. That's all part of the right-wing mythology. It's always important to remember that the only other person who was there that night is dead, which gives Zimmerman the freedom to tell any story he wants, and we do know he likes to tell stories.

    Because Zimmerman waited until there was absolutely no choice left before using that gun to defend himself.

    Zimmerman survived and Trayvon didn't. So yes, Guns can keep you safe!

    Didn't you know Travyon Martin was a little angel? If you disagree, here are some FACTS:

    1. Those photos of him at 17, with his shirt off where you can see he has some muscles are FAKE. They used photoshop to enlarge him. In reality, he was a weakling who could barely lift 50 pounds. A month before he died, he tried to lift an empty box and was hospitalized for a week.

    2. The jewelry in Martin's locker was NOT stolen. He was trying to open up a small business selling jewelry from his locker, but THE MAN kept him down. All of those proceeds from his first month in business would have gone to orphanages.

    3.. Zimmerman, who is 100 percent white and certainly not mixed with any race at all, is a militant WHITE supremacist racist and has a Nazi tattoo on his butt. Underneath it, in German, is a sentence that says "I hate Skittles."

    4. Martin had a medical condition where every time he defecated, a rainbow came out.

    5. Martin was looking into the windows of homes because he wanted to form a window repair business and was doing research.

    6. Obama said that Martin could have been his son. Obama was in Florida back in the 90's and he was listening to a Clinton speech on TV. It was such a good speech that he actually ejaculated and it hit a fan, sending his seed out the window and into the air where it was picked up by a breeze. Legend has it, several kids with big ears were born in the area nine months later. If he's possibly related to Obama, how could he ever do anything bad?

    7. Martin did NOT push Zimmerman down. In reality, it was a big misunderstanding. Martin thought Zimmerman was about to fall down so Martin grabbed a hold of him in order to control the fall. Martin accidentally pounded Zimmerman's head into the pavement because he was trying to craddle his head but he kept on losing his grip.

    8. Scientists have recently discovered that it is scientifically impossible for a white person to kill a black person in self defense. It literally never happens, has not happened and never will happen, even in an alternate universe.

    The evidence shows that's what happened. Zimmerman didn't open fire right away because Martin caught him by surprise.

    Good grief. The liberals who answered this question have demonstrated they don't give a sh!t about the facts.

    I only saw a couple of scratches on the back of Zimmerman's head, that is hardly getting beaten to death. I have seen more injuries in soccer game than Zimmerman actually had.

    Only Conservative's take the testimony of a shooter with a criminal past and a violence problem as true. If Trayvon Martin had been a white boy, instead of a black boy, I expect they would have called for Zimmerman to be drawn and quartered.

    He waited too long to fire the gun. Any normal person would have shot the skumbag as soon as he jumped at them.

    he didn't. Zimmerman was on the prowl looking for an unarmed, frail black person to murder.
