we know a lot more then just that.
we have zimmerman's full history of calls to non-emergency dispatch. he frequently mentioned those assholes getting away through the south entrance.
we have zimmerman's full history of violent altercations. the list includes chasing down motorists. not leaving his fiancee's place until he forced his wayin and beat her up. "snapping" in anger and throwing drunk women around. assaulting police officers. and afterwards, he would always claim that HE was the victim.
we have zimmerman talking about his state of mind that night on tape. pissed off about those assholes always getting. doesn't know where this "kid" is. don't have the police meet me, have them call me for my location.
it's pretty clear that he knew he was dealing with a kid, and that he wanted to chase this kid down and detain him. he did not want to let another asshole get away. he had no interest in identifying himself or asking the kid what he was doing. he had multiple chances to do that, and never did.
the screams on the tape make it pretty clear (in my head at least) that someone was being held at gunpoint and was screaming for his life. that wasn't a fight. the fight was over by the time the 911 calls come in.
if i had to guess, martin tried to wrest the gun from zimm, and that's when zimm shot. total stab in the dark, but having looked at the timeline, the calls, the evidence over and over, i would guess that's what happened.
there is the possibility that martin never tried to wrest the gun from the guy who was detaining him at gunpoint, but that zimm mistakenly thought martin was trying to because he was in threat detection overload.
i mean, we're talking about a guy who straddled martin after putting a round through his chest, you don't straddle someone unless you think they may still be a threat.
that's when witnesses started calling out. one witness called out to zimm and was ignored. she called out a second time, and he just said "call the police". he got up and walked over to the sidewalk and put his hand in his forehead looking worried.
reality hit zimm hard at that moment.
