I never thought it was black and white. I have no doubts that Trayvon Martin might have attacked this man, but I'd argue that he was justified. If I was being followed by a man through a neighborhood and he stopped me and started telling me to do something or insulting me or in general talking to me, my hackles would be up to begin with. I'd think he was some crazy guy who was going to do something with me. Unfortunately, we'll never find out what happened, but this whole situation could have ended differently if Zimmerman wasn't some arrogant, pumped-up, cop wannabe.

I don't disagree with you. But if Zimmerman felt threatened, he has a right to self defense regardless of whether he got into the situation by his own actions. I think the prosecution might have a hard time proving Murder Two - manslaughter would have been easier. I just hope they know what they're doing...
