ORIGINAL: Owner59 We know he chased the kid....from the 911 tape. We know he asked the kid who he was.....ie confronted the kid.....with a gun......from the tape. There is nothing to suggest that Zimmerman confronted Trayvon with a gun. And ironically enough, Trayvon would likely be alive if he had. Because you don't punch a guy in the face if he's holding a gun on you. I've had the feeling from the start that bad judgment on both sides contributed to this, but it did not seem to me that Zimmerman would be able to meet the standard for a protected use of deadly force. At this point, however, I'm revising that opinion. Punching somebody out, jumping on top of them, and bashing their head into the cement is certainly sufficient to give virtually anyone a "reasonable belief" in grave bodily injury. K.
