If a black man is being harassed because of his race (or reasonably perceives that he is being harassed because of his race), I don't blame him for getting physical with his harasser. Legally, he should be held accountable for it, but I can understand why he'd do it.
This whole incident was started by Zimmerman and I place the vast majority of the blame for what happened on him, but whether he legally did anything wrong is an entirely different question.
