That's not the brand...it's not even a trademark. When a person is drawing conclusion about an event based on the small details surrounding said event, the attention paid to those details is relevant and factors into the validity of the opinion.
Why would a 17-year-old attack somebody without provocation? Because he was a thug. Nice kids don't get suspended from school three times. He was a suspected burglar, used drugs, and was into fighting (according to details from his facebook pages and twitter account.) He was also into "lean"... a mixture of codeine-based cough syrup, a soft drink, and candy.
It is clear that Martin doubled back because he told his girlfriend that he was "by his father house". The fact remains that Martin should have been safe in the townhouse long before Zimmerman's call to the police ended. When someone you fear is behind you, and a safe location is in front of you, you don't duck and hide...you bolt for the safe location. For some reason, Martin decided to get tough and confront the stranger.
From Zimmerman's call to the police... "This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something" "He's got his hand in his waistband" "He's got something in his hands"
Why would Zimmerman attack someone who he thought was on drugs and had a weapon? And if he was expecting or even looking for a confrontation with such a person, wouldn't he have his gun ready? As such, how would Martin get close enough to strike Zimmerman?
Your scenario simply doesn't hold water. Zimmerman's description of events seems far more plausible.
