Ironically, Zimmerman alleged that Martin threatened him whereas the original provocation bears every hallmark of Zimmerman stalking and threatening Martin.
It is unfathomable to me that Trayvon Martin -- walking home from "the corner store, "armed" with skittles and soda -- would have threatened Zimmerman if Zimmerman had not threatened Trayvon first. (Trayvon was killed 64 meters from the door of his home.)
There is no plausible explanation for Trayvon's initiation of conflict with Zimmerman.
Zimmerman started it.
It is a matter of established fact that Zimmerman was an armed vigilante whom the 911 dispatcher told to "stay in your car until the police arrive," a hothead who -- after being told to "stay put" -- got out of his car to stalk Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman's "stand your ground" defense was almost certainly the defense Martin would have used had Zimmerman not precluded Trayvon's testimony by firing a bullet into the heart.
Shooting of Trayvon Martin
Wikipedia
By killing Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman eliminated the only witness who could have testified to Zimmerman's a priori menace.
White conservatives who came to the defense of Zimmerman's gun-toting vigilantism should be ashamed of their irrepressible urge to "blame the black guy" when, in fact, it is much more plausible that Zimmerman threatened Martin and that Trayvon was only defending himself.
