Bloodied drunken drivers? Sounds like a good situation to me

Not at all. But nobody had to get shot either.

The key issue is that Zimmerman's injuries didn't have to be life threatening, just that he believed he was in for fear for his life or severe injury and was unable to flee.

Oh, please. I've seen more vicious beatings in bar parking lots where bloodied drunks get in their cars and drive off.

OR...... he lived because he was able to stop the vicious beating before he was killed.

Thankfully, Mr Zimmerman was able to stop the attack before it became life threatening. With his head being beaten against the ground by the thug, the worry would be losing consciousness and then his life if the thug continued the beating.

my son fell off a Burger King stool and had to have six stitches in his scalp. George needed a band-aid.

Because he was able to stop a vicious beating by a young thug before he was severely injured.

...in a situation that didn't have to occur because the police had already been notified.

Can't argue that. Would have saved a lot of paperwork.

"Zimmerman was diagnosed with a "closed fracture" of his nose, a pair of black eyes, two lacerations to the back of his head and a minor back injury the day after he fatally shot Martin during an alleged altercation"

What I am saying is that as weak as the states case is in parts, the facts put together may prove formidable enough for conviction.

You can get that in a high school soccer match.

It's not an assault in a H.S. soccer game.

From a poor pathetic totally innocent 17 year old youth.

Right.

Also in basketball games players like to charge while in the paint the defender get knocked on their ass.

Why did Zimmerman follow Martin, after 911 had been called? Zimmerman has already admitted that the prime directive of Neighborhood Watch is to let the police do their job and not get involved personally.

I'd imagine he wanted to be sure to witness any possible crime the suspect was about to committ. Little did he know he was about to be the victim of a crime instead.

You know, if I had some little jerk like Zimmerman following me around for no good reason, I might not like it. And if he got up in my face, I might just have to take out my 9mm and screw it into his ear. The reason Zimmerman was following Martin was because he fit Zimmerman's profile of what a "criminal" should look like. Unfortunately, Martin wasn't a criminal at all.

Martin was an admitted illegal drug user so yes he was a criminal.

So sorry. We are talking about the events of the day Zimmerman shot Martin, so your comment is irrelevant. Using your "logic", everyone who has ever smoked a joint is a criminal.
