With the unexpected tone his dad had, I chuckled. I didnt go bahahaha around the house, tears gushing everywhere. Just didnt expect his dad to react as he did in the interview.

Zimmerman turned away from his car to confront Trayvon.
I don't understand the double standard here. Why is it that GZ was in the right to investigate what was going on, but TM wasnt?
Whatever your beliefs are, both men were equally responsible. No one knows exactly what happened but GZ and TM.
No evidence supports any theory that GZ's intention was to catch up to TM and confront him physically. He was following and reporting information to the authorities.
TM on the other hand racially profiled GZ on the phone prior to deciding to alter his path and confront him. His words and actions suggest someone with malice intentions and the evidence supports that. The first criminal action in this case was Trayvon's choice to physically confront Zimmerman, a choice that cost him his life.
For all we know, Zimmerman got agitated, threw the first few punches, TM noticed the gun on GZs hip and fought for his life and GZ is lying his ass off.
But, since the only evidence that could confirm this is lying in a box 6ft underneath Florida, we won't ever ever ever know.
GZ passed 3 lie detector tests submitted by the police in which he volunteered to take. Although witness' testimony do not speak on the entire altercation, they lay out a connect the dots that collaborates with GZ's testimony.
Given Trayvon's history of lying to the police, if he wasnt "6ft underneath Florida", he probably would have lied to the police about this altercation as well.
You believe what you believe because you want to. You believe it against all available evidence.
They arent fool proof, but they do help paint a picture of GZ telling what he believed to be the full truth. Let me put it this way. They are a piece of the puzzle, and when you add the detectives narrative and opinions and forensic evidence to the puzzle it does start to create a picture.
Everyone suggests that? hmm... wonder why the MMA trainer didnt suggest that.
And yes, "ducking a few punches" isnt a day 1 amateur skill that is developed in MMA class, it is "that hard"
The prosecution seems to think everyone walks into an MMA gym and 3 hours later they walk out like this....

At your avg mma gym around america that isnt one sponsoring professional MMA fighters..... there's 2-3 guys that know what theyre doing and 15 soccer dads who think it's more fun than jogging or getting on a treadmill.
One side of the story, collaborated by witness accounts, validated by evidence, confirmed by multiple lie detector tests and reviewed by a judge and jury after being tried in court.
Some people are just going to believe what they want to believe no matter how available the truth is. If not.... i wouldnt drive past 50 churches a day on my way to work.
It's not really hard to believe that this could have all been avoided had Zimmerman not initiated the conflict. I don't see how anyone with intellect couldn't agree with that.
The part of your post I quoted could be applied to yourself as well. You'll believe what you will. Just like others will.
Do I think Zimmerman is guilty of murder? Maybe not. Manslaughter. I could go with that on the FACT that he was the one who trailed the dude. I don't know that he intended to kill him. Would like to think that wasn't his intention. Do I think this is a racial thing? I'm not inside Zimmerman's head so I don't know. I guess you believe it's not because solely because he said it wasn't since you're believing everything else he says. Of course I guess it wouldn't be hard to believe Zimmerman's story because, and this is factual you know, it's the only story you're going to get.
