If there was no loss of life, it would be laughable to suggest that a teenager being chased would not be justified in standing his ground to the extent that he moderately injured his pursuer (if it did happen),

Stew, I am seriously trying to see how you come to such conclusion. I was in Atlanta for week last month. On several occasions I was followed and even approached on the streets after dark. Once I was alone. Are you really saying I would we justified in attacking the individual? I think not. It would not give me the right to confront and attack, nor hide and surprise jump him.

We know there was confronting... but we do not know who attacked who first. Do we ?
I have been to Atlanta several times. You are a brave man to walk alone there after dark.
How were you followed? Did you feel threatened? Where they watching you? Stopping when you stopped? Walking when you walked?
What were the circumstances?

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter

Hoovie, I hope you are being facetious, but for the sake of the conversation:
There is a big difference between you feeling like you were being followed and this situation where we know he was being pursued "because they always get away". But, yes, if you were being followed by a man who was mad because you were "getting away" and if said man got out of his vehicle to pursue you when you ran away, I could easily see there being a point when you needed to stand your ground.
What I absolutely would have a hard time seeing is how said man could chase and kill you in self defense (once again after having been advised not too). That would be true if he was green and you were purple.

JD - here is the problem. You have already convicted him, as have thousands of others across the country.
You DO NOT know what happened and neither do I.
Only one person knows and that is Zim.
I do not know if he is guilty or not.
I do believe that he was overzealous and did not use good judgement.
However, what if he was going back to his vehicle and Trayvon approached him from behind, hit him, jumped on him and started beating his head on the pavement.
Then Zim pulled his gun and shot.
Is he still guilty of murder then, in your opinion?
And by the way your quote is manufactured, also.
Will we see they are going to have to put him in witness protection to keep him save if they don't charge him for something...need atleast a simple charge or that dude is going to have to stay in hiding...lol..folks want revenge...
