When I read the evidence, it seemed to indicate to me that Martin was the aggressor he threw the first punch and had Zimmerman on the ground beating him: that would indicate self-defense. Just because a person doesn’t have a weapon doesn’t give them the right to beat another person with their fist. Does a man have a right to beat a woman because he’s stronger? Does the big man have a right to beat the small man? Does the gang have a right to beat the individual? The Aggressor is always wrong: violence should always be our last resort. I am not totally opposed to violence. I was willing to kill Communist during the Cold War not because I hated them as individuals but because I loved freedom. However, I prefer to avoid trouble whenever possible.
