Well, you're likely right. I appreciate your reply too.

I've been thinking....all the "justice for Trayvon" people who claim this was a racist hate crime point out that Zimmerman said "******* c00n" and stuff on the 911 tape. But you know what? Even if he did say that it still doesn't prove that Zimmerman didn't shoot Trayvon in self defense. Neither does an analyst saying it was Trayvon yelling. Trayvon could still have been on top go Zimmerman beating him and when he saw the gun pulled yelled out. Still self defense.

If you honest to god think this case and the slinger case are identical, you're an idiot.
At no point have I claimed to read the guy's mind, I'm simply asking for an explanation for his actions to remove doubt.
Don't you F-ing get it?
Oh and walking down the street to go home =/= breaking and entering. Clearly you also fail the parallels game.

I have sat here and had everyone else bash me, why not start back.

Idiot? Stupid? Why the name calling? When you can't debate like an adult, I guess the only left for you to do is to start calling people names. Again, I've had more intelligent discussions with my teenage son. It's scary to think that someone as immature as you is carrying a weapon on the streets.
I and many others have tried explaining based off known facts. You just don't want to accept anything other than what you've decided in your mind already.

Agreed how long can one debate this without it getting personal?

Sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I honestly see no logical reason why an intelligent person could honestly say that this case and the slinger case are 100% identical. Stop hurling insults my way and I'll do the same.
As for me being immature and "scary for me to carry a weapon on the streets." Honestly, calm down. Being heated over an internet argument isn't going to cause me to shoot someone randomly on the street.
As for expelling known facts to me, no you've haven't. You've repeated Zimmerman's account of the incident, and statements made by people who witnessed part of, but not all of, the incident. In no way do these things realistically represent 100% of the facts. People are capable of lying, and they do it all the time. Sometimes they even do it without realizing it.
I'm amazed at the people in this thread who have no problem creating supposition and doubt on the part of the shooter, and who refuse to do it on the part of the shootee.

You can do so for both sides and with such a lack of physical evidence supporting either side this whole debate is pointless and now reaching childish on the parts of several parties. Let's close it for now and reopen it if any substantial new evidence is brought fourth.
