Did I say he got jumped or that Zimmerman was minding his own business? Nope. I was simply saying that he was being beaten and then used his firearm to diffuse te situation, like ANY of us would have done. Zimmerman was lookin for trouble, that’s what neighborhood watch does. Not only that, but he was within his rights be following Trayvon. He was protecting himself after a situation escalated. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/neighborhood-watch-leader-shoots-fl-teen/263127)._
