Nah, I'm pretty sure even if you take Zimmerman's account as gospel truth he is still guilty as hell of wrongdoing.Even if Martin attacked, it was because he was being stalked and confronted by a paranoid armed vigilante, and had every right to - guess what - stand his ground.
And even beyond that, the fact that police initially just took Zimmerman at his word and looked at the dead 17-year-old lying on the grass and automatically decided, yep, self-defense, is a complete fuckin' farce.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
