my bet is Zimmerman was chasing the kid around the neighborhood for whatever reason, likely because he ran. The kid hid and maybe jumped on him when he got close, I may have done the same thing back in the day if some fuking weirdo had been stalking me. Upshot of it is Zimmerman got in the kids face, they had words or he put his hands on the kid and got his ass beat down, managed to get his weapon out and fire. Its still a confrontation HE instigated for no legal reason. Now days I run around armed, have since I was 18 or so. I have been out walking at night and encountered security many times. My interaction with them depended on their attitude and my mood. If they were just checking I might talk to them, but have told more han one to fuck off. This kid may have chosen to fight the guy thas stalking/chasing him for no discernable reason from the kids view. Again, if Zimmerman would have stayed inside the legal boundaries this would not have happened.
