No, what's genuinely sad, in fact tragic, is that Zimmerman didn't have the self-control and good judgment to remain in his car--so that there would have been no need for Trayvon Martin to have to try to defend himself.
And, even after Zimmerman got out of his vehicle, he failed to identify himself or his motives to Martin--he remained threatening and menacing to that child.
Stop trivializing the fear, particularly for a child, of being stalked by a stranger in the dark, for no apparent reason. If someone stalked you like that, you'd have your hand on your gun, ready to protect yourself.
Had Zimmerman left Trayvon Martin alone, he would have continued walking home. It was Zimmerman who was obsessed with Martin, and with not wanting him to elude the police. Martin had no interest in Zimmerman.
Zimmerman erroneously profiled an innocent kid, who was just walking around and talking on his cell phone, as a criminal, and, because of his own own obsessions, and poor impulse control, he then stalked and confronted that child, provoking a deadly encounter. And, in response to a punch in the nose, he shot and killed an unarmed child. So if Zimmerman now has to live with fears of people following him, and fears of other vigilantes, people just like him, I'm really not going to lose sleep over it.
