His out was always that he could blow away one of the "suspicious" guys if he had to, whether it was TM or someone else. As pointed out by others, he could've carried pepper spray or a taser to perform his "watch" duties.

According to testimony, yes...he was being beaten MMA-style and his injuries were consistent with his story...whether you like it or not.

Zimmerman had done this dozens of times and no one else had attacked and beaten him...why would he expect this to be different?
