My client George Zimmerman is a very vulnerable individual weighing only 250 pounds. Fragile and delicate like a petite, gamine ballet dancer. His assailant Trayvon Martin was over 100 pounds lighter -- making him much more agile and dangerous. Furthermore Trayvon Martin was armed with a bag of Skittles AND an iced tea. These are lethal weapons. It is no wonder that my client felt so threatened. And quite understandably felt that his life was in danger.
Further, my client was raised on a steady diet of the educational television program "Monty Python's Flying Circus" in which people are taught to use a gun to shoot people armed with such frightening weapons.
For example in the lesson "Self-Defense Against Fresh Fruit" (Season 1: Episode 4), a man who is attacked by an assailant wielding a banana is only prevented from being murdered by shooting the attacker with a handgun.
The same program makes clear that homicidal maniacs bearing such dangerous weapons as oranges, apples, lemons, grapefruit, pomegranates, grapes, passion-fruit, plums, cherries (both red and black) and mangoes in syrup can ONLY be thwarted by using deadly force.
So my terrified client -- confronted by a teenage boy who was eleven years younger than him and an intimidating one hundred pounds lighter -- dressed in full-military combat hoodie and brandishing an inter-continental ballistic bag of Skittles -- quite naturally flash-backed to the educational TV programs of his youth and the sequence in which vulnerable people can only defend themselves against such dangerous assailants by shooting them stone-dead with a gun at point-blank range.
Given this, I say that the only possible course of action is for my client to be found not chargeable for any breach of law. Especially not the **NRA-instigated statute enthusiastically signed into law in 2005 by the admirably porcine Florida governor John Ellis Pierce ("Oh just call me 'Jeb'") Bush that guarantees all Floridians the right to blow away anyone they don't like the look of. The so-called "shoot-first-be-exonerated later" law.
Furthermore he deserves to receive profuse and full apologies for any suggestion that just because there is audio of his 911 call in which he clearly mutters the words "fucking coons" immediately before shooting to death a 17-year-old African-American boy -- he was in any way motivated by racist beliefs. He is an American hero in the same vein as Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Michael Savage -- and he fully deserves to be given his own regular prime-time TV show on Fox News.
He is a gentle man who simply tried to protect his neighborhood from the dark side of life. One day -- when George Zimmerman has been exonerated of these fallacious liberal media smears -- he will be seen as a great American hero. In the vein of other patriots such as the great Oliver North... G. Gordon Liddy... Mark Fuhrman, who were all also once willfully accused of misdeeds only to be exonerated and given their own radio and TV shows.

Martin & Lewis: WAIT FOR THE TRIAL.
THEN we can appreciate your knowledgeable views on this matter.
Trayvon was 6' 3", 140 lbs, near his physical peak, in shape, and fast.
Zimmerman is 5' 9", 260, 12 years older, overweight and out of shape.
Trayvon had a height advantage, reach advantage, and speed advantage over Zimmerman. Weight is not always an advantage in a fight and is frequently a disadvantage. In this case, it was a definite disadvantage.
Every day in the US, an average of more than 2 people are killed using nothing more than hands and feet. Many, many more are seriously hurt and even permantly maimed/injured.

What I would find humorist is to see Martin Lewis in a MMA cage fight with a 145 lbs man.
I wonder if he would reright this article after he gets out of the hospital.

Gee all the people I have ever known to take a toke can barely muster enough energy to eat the Twinkie. I can't see one of them running and then fighting with a man weighing 110 lbs more.
Sorry, I've gone from shock to sadness to my current state of sullen cynicism with this story. It's like this whole story is about seeing the very worst come out of people. *sigh*
Zimmermans's lawyer is disgraceful.
The fact that he is even trying to present Zimmerman as the VICTIM< when he was the one with an assault cahrge on his record, when he was the one with dozens of paranoid 9-1-1 calls tot he police, when he was the one who did NOT stand down, when he was the one who PURSUED Trayvon, when He was the one Armed and Dangerous is frightening.
Who is Joe Oliver?
Oliver's account counters the withering criticism Zimmerman has sustained from demonstrators across the country who have demanded his arrest and accused him of racial bias in targeting Martin. Celebrities have taken up the cause of justice for Trayvon, and President Barack Obama said "all of us have to do some soul-searching" as a result of the tragedy.
"I'm a black male and all that I know is that George has never given me any reason whatsoever to believe he has anything against people of color," Oliver said.
