Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rajder" data-source="post: 1771887" data-attributes="member: 11636">The one thing that you guys keep leaving out is that Martin was on the phone with his girlfriend at the time and she heard Zimmerman ask Martin what he was doing there and then the phone dropped.  If true, that means Zimmerman is lying about returning to his truck then getting jumped by Martin.  And if he is lying (I see no reason why a 16 year old girl would make up that story) then I am not inclined to believe any of his account.  My opinion is that Zimmerman probably chased down Martin and confronted him.  Then a fight occured in which Zimmerman started get his butt kicked and Zimmerman shot Martin.  Where I'm from if you are man enough to track down a kid who isn't doing anything wrong and start asking him questions then you should dang sure be man enough to take the butt whipping that might come from the situation.  This case just outlines why you are supposed to let the police handle situations like these.  A CCW is only for self defense and to me the whole idea of self defense goes out the window when he got out of the car and chased down an individual whom Zimmerman thought could have been potentially dangerous.  Ultimately, Zimmerman was the only adult in the situation.  And as the only adult and a CCW holder he should be held to a higher standard and he should have known better.  If he would have just let the police do their job then none of this ever happens.  As of now I confident that the courts will decide what happend and that's all that really matters anymore.</blockquote>
