Certainly Martin had the right to tell Zimmerman to buzz off. He did not however have the right to physically attack Zimmerman and zero evidence has been produced to suggest Zimmerman was the attacker.
Yes, I know that Martin isn't here to tell his side but that's no reason to discount Zimmerman's account.
If challenged by Zimmerman, I would have said "my name is and I'm staying at, thanks for keeping a watch out for us" as most reasonable people would have. Not attack Zimmerman, even if I was insulted by his suspicions.
I believe the unreasonable behavior was on the part of Martin and I believe Zimmerman truly feared for his life.
Hey, it's hard to ask for someone's ID to make sure they're 18, not 17, while they're beating your brains out.
