To some, what they want to believe;
1.) Man shoots/murders innocent kid
2.) Man shoots teen in self defense
3.) Dirty Harry vigilante wannabe and a gangster wannabe having a collision, and the one with the gun won.
Notes:
A.) If a Neighborhood Watch person can't move around and maintain constant surveillance on a stranger in the area, what's the point of it? Following someone is not a crime.
B.) Who's to say that Martin was out casing a house for later on? Maybe there would've been a home invasion, and maybe someone, other than Martin may have been seriously hurt.
C.) Martin lived 250 miles away with his mother. He went to his father because of a drug-related school suspension. His father lived in the gated community, but his long haul truck driver father was out of town.
D.) Who sends their 17-year-old, who was suspended from school for a third time in one year, to stay unsupervised in an empty house 250 miles away from them? Especially when that 17-year-old has a history of drugs, graffiti, and thefts?
E.) Why would be anyone wearing a hoodie be targeted?
F.) Another political, racial, circus for the people to be turned on each other.
G.) Another media attempt to divert focus from the Presidential woes.

The reported facts of the case;
On Feb. 26, when Zimmerman first spotted Trayvon, he called police and reported a suspicious person, describing Trayvon as black, acting strangely and perhaps on drugs.
Zimmerman got out of his SUV to follow Trayvon on foot. When a dispatch employee asked Zimmerman if he was following the 17-year-old, Zimmerman said yes. The dispatcher told Zimmerman he did not need to do that.
There is about a one-minute gap during which police say they're not sure what happened.
Zimmerman told them he lost sight of Trayvon and was walking back to his SUV when Trayvon approached him from the left rear, and they exchanged words.
Trayvon asked Zimmerman if he had a problem. Zimmerman said no and reached for his cell phone, he told police. Trayvon then said, "Well, you do now" or something similar and punched Zimmerman in the nose, according to the account he gave police.
Zimmerman fell to the ground and Trayvon got on top of him and began slamming his head into the sidewalk, he told police.
Zimmerman began yelling for help.
Several witnesses heard those cries, and there has been a dispute about whether they came from Zimmerman or Trayvon.
Lawyers for Trayvon's family say it was Trayvon, but police say their evidence indicates it was Zimmerman.
One witness, who has since talked to local television news reporters, told police he saw Zimmerman on the ground with Trayvon on top, pounding him — and was unequivocal that it was Zimmerman who was crying for help.
Zimmerman then shot Trayvon once in the chest at very close range, according to authorities.
When police arrived less than two minutes later, Zimmerman was bleeding from the nose, had a swollen lip and had bloody lacerations to the back of his head.
Paramedics gave him first aid but he said he did not need to go to the hospital. He got medical care the next day.

Other Areas of Thought:
Zimmerman provoked the teen.
The teen then overreacted.
Zimmerman could have maintained an observation from a distance in the vehicle. But, he didn't.
The teen could have out ran Zimmerman. But, he didn't.
The media went on a frenzy
This was destined to end badly. No winners only losers.
