My point being that they lived in a crime-ridden area, the guy could've been armed or had a knife, and could've pulled it out at any moment. He refused to back off when Zimmerman was yelling for help and unable to defend himself, while being relentlessly attacked. Therefore, he got shot. Easy as that.Originally Posted by chriscorey
If I go out into the city streets here, and attack someone for approaching me or possibly watching/following me, I would say there's a good chance I would get the same treatment.
My point with the Mike Tyson statement is that just because I am even a trained police officer at best, that doesn't mean I can best an experienced street-fighter who may be better-trained. Zimmerman was apparently the underdog when it came to street-fighting.
Threats are not physical attacks.
