So by your logic, if zimmerman attacked trayvon first, and trayvon had gotten a hold of zimmermans gun and shot him in self defense, trayvon would have been a murderer. But the situation in reverse was a good shoot?
Ummm, that's kinda exactly what happened... he didn't chase him down and tickle him to death...
Would you instigate a confrontation and shoot someone cause they got the best of you trying to defend themselves?
Cause I can guarantee one thing, trayvon didn't chase zimmerman down to attack him!
1000 to 1 odds says Zimmerman wouldn't have followed if he didn't have that bit of steel courage on his side. And if he's willing to insert himself into a situation just because he's armed, he's carrying for the wrong reasons to begin with.

First of all.. I have no idea where you're logic even begins to come from, but here goes:
That isn't even close to what he said. He elaborated on the situation that had happened, stating that if trayvon had beaten him into unconciousness "which he was well on his way to doing" that he could have taken Zimmerman's firearm away and used it against him. He made no mention at all of the hypothetical situation you're bringing up. TRAYVON WAS BEATING ZIMMERMAN, SLAMMING HIS HEAD INTO THE GROUND. A little excessive don't ya think? Having your head slammed into the ground is definitely a reason to fear for your life, and a very good reason to defend it.
Zimmerman didn't chase him down, did you read anything? At all? He followed him from a distance AFTER talking with law enforcement, so that he could notify the officers arriving on the scene where Trayvon was at. Sounds like a good neighborhood watch to me. Especially since Zimmerman's reports have helped in the past with problems in the neighborhood. Trayvon wasn't just standing around, he was lurking behind houses. Very suspicious behavior and worth notice from a neighborhood watch. Zimmerman didn't chase anybody down, he followed from a distance and lost him, before abruptly coming upon him again. So in your mind, that makes it ok that Trayvon just attacked him and started beating him to death?
