From what I understand, Zimmerman was pushed down and getting beaten up for asking what Martin was doing. Hardly a fair reaction I think.

But then again, there seems to be a extremely strong media bias in this case, so as I said, I'll wait for the facts to be presented in court.
There's no media bias at all in the facts already presented in the evidence - that Zimmerman violated watch policy rules and ignored repeated instructions not to engage.

Neighborhood watches are good things, they are not armed response, they are eyeballs and 911 dialers - people like Zimmerman just destroy their usefulness.
