Sorry to confuse–I was quoting from the quote you quoted–saw it wasn’t yours, which is why I said “you people”. Didn’t want to go dig up the history–just deal with the idea that popped up that Zimmerman started an argument.
I agree–it would be terrifying to notice someone following you. I really wish the idiot hadn’t followed Martin. But to say–if you accept Zimmerman’s accounting–that running back to him, and attacking him, was Martin acting self-defense–when Zimmerman had shown no aggression and was following at a distance and there were many, many other options open to him–just doesn’t seem like a very strong argument.
