Martin was walking home with his Skittles and iced tea when some big plug ugly in car slowed down and started to drive really slowly while the plug ugly gave him the stink eye. Martin picked up his speed, maybe even started to run. The plug ugly got out of his vehicle and gave chase.

Martin was describing the whole thing to his girlfriend when the plug ugly caught up to him, gun drawn. Martin began screaming for help and the big guy panicked and shot him.

Zimmerman was standing some distance from Martin when he shot him. There was no blood on his clothing and a direct shot to something vital in the upper chest puts out a tremendous amount of blood. Nor did he try to give aid, same thing. It looks like Martin was never close enough to be any sort of a threat, not that he could have been given the differences in their sizes.

This is why vigilantes should never, ever be armed with anything but a cell phone to call police. They have always had the nasty habit of shooting first and getting the wrong guy every single time. Had Zimmerman followed this procedure, he'd never have had the bravado to exit his vehicle and chase a kid whose only crime was walking while black.
