I dont even think a trained fighter would be that cocky.

Rod, the problem with your posts is that they make too much sense. Fint seems to think this was a mano a mano street fight right out of a TJ Hooker episode, when in reality, "fighting in fear and self preservation," as you describe, seems the more accurate description. No one punches a guy in the street ONCE, especially in a bad neighborhood, let's their limp body fall back to the ground like Captain Kirk would do, and saunters away like if the fight is over. It's simply preposterous. Zimmerman was getting the beating he brought on himself. Pulling the gun and shooting TM - excessive force.
