Would Treyvor Martin have really wanted Zimmerman dead-?

Asked by mazingerz88 (28825points) July 10th, 2013

Watching the Zimmerman trial on and off. Seems Zimmerman’s argument is his life was threatened so he shot Martin. But it’s clear that Martin felt threatened first and Zimmerman was on to him at the start.

To be fair, Zimmerman felt Martin was a threat to the residents, otherwise he would not have followed him. As to who first confronted whom and who punched first, I don’t know but since Zimmerman claims his life was threatened instead of saying he was losing a fight, one that which would not have happened if he stayed put as instructed, what would stop me from thinking that Martin also felt his life was threatened-? And he had the right to beat him up to the point of unconsciousness, especially if Martin saw he had a gun.

Watching the proceedings on and off so I don’t know whether this was brought up. I don’t know Martin but I’m guessing it’s highly unlikely he went out to buy snacks, felt threatened and decided he wanted to kill Zimmerman. Knock him out sure.
