To all the IDIOTS in the media who keep referring to the Zimmerman case as "a fist fight"...

I keep seeing people in the media saying this:

"Well, simply losing a fist fight does not entitle someone to use deadly force against the winner."


That is absolutely RIDICULOUS. It's not simply a case of two kids on a playground, having a disagreement leading to a fist fight. It's not even REMOTELY comparable to that.

It's a case of a neighborhood watchman, trying to keep an eye on an unfamiliar person, one which he did not KNOW. And this suspicious person doubling back and viciously attacking Zimmerman, assaulting him to the point of breaking his nose, bashing his head, throwing a flurry of punches, and going for Zimmerman's firearm.

So STOP trying to compare this situation to a run-of-the-mill fist fight, between two people who either knew each other previously, or who had some kind of disagreement in a bar, or whatever.

THERE IS NO COMPARISON.
