The moment we've all been waiting for - pics of Zimmermans head wounds

147. Right to a point

We don't know who escalated the confrontation from verbal to physical. Many here are saying it doesn't matter, though I contend it will be a tipping point. For those who say it does not matter, I ask the question, when is it legitimate to escalate from verbal to physical. I read your statement as supporting that.

My hunch is that the verbal confrontation went along the lines you described. From there it gets really gray. No witnesses of who start getting physical first. A witness that says Martin was on top of Zimmerman throwing "MMA like punches" (It was in the witness statement PDFs on MSNBC). Then a gunshot from less than a foot.

I agree that none of this would have happened if Zimmerman had stayed in his vehicle and that he bears moral responsibility for the death of Martin. Legally we shall see.
