"Martin was beating Zimmerman to an inch of his life" narrative like its the unquestioned truth

Any possibility at all that Zimmerman slipped on the wet grass? Maybe he tripped and Martin was actually trying to help him up? Maybe all Martin did was shove him, or brush him off in the get-your-hands-off-of-me kind of way? Maybe Martin actually got the worst of the beating, but it's not like the cops gave a shit about investigating anything other than sewing this thing up as fast as possible...See? Random unfounded speculation is fun and we can do it all day!

And as I have said repeatedly, the question doesn't boil down to "who started the physical confrontation," because when you start there, for legal arguement's sake the two men are equals with NO CONTEXT OF THE SITUATION leading up to it considered...One more time, the question boils down to WHY did Zimmerman follow, report to police, chase down on foot and the accost Martin? There has to be a much more concrete reason other than "suspicious activity"... THIS is where the case starts, because if those four parts aren't met then Zimmerman is the "threat", and nothing he did after that is justifiable...

It would do you some good to honestly put yourself in the mind of a 17-year-old getting tailed by some burly stranger and how you would react...

It would do you some good to honestly think about the indignity of being treated by strangers like a common street criminal based on your appearance...

Since you're so hellbent on exonerating Zimmerman (not sure if serious, trolling or just devil's advocate), please come up with any reason why Martin's actions were worthy of so much attention from the un-official nightwatch captain...
