    Trayvon's guilt is inherent because he is 17 years old
that's not what i wrote, at all.

    Trayvon must have tried to kill Zimmerman even though we have no evidence supporting that
yes, we have. for one, Zimmerman's head injuries and Trayvon's fatal wound are consistent with Zimmerman's story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Florida_vs._George_Zim...

    Even if Trayvon did attack Zimmerman... it was Trayvon who was defending himself.
so when you think someone is following you, you have the right to attack them? in a way that can very much kill them dead? and call it self–defense? are you out of your freaking mind?!

he had no clue that Zimmerman was armed, not until he was on top of him and allegedly started reaching for his gun.

Zimmerman might have thought that Trayvon is up to vandalize something. that's not very nice of him, sure, but that doesn't mean Trayvon is acting in self defense when he initiates the violence.
