Welcome to my esteemed colleagues.!
I have a few questions for LR.
To make sure we are on the same page, I would like to have you present as detailed a description of what you think happened, based solely on what GZ has claimed happened.
Did GZ claim he lost site of TM?
DID TM fall GZ with one punch?
Did TM have his knees on GZ's arms when GZ pulled his gun from his holster.?
What is the order of which direction each party was going from when GZ got out of his vehicle, until they were actually fighting?
LASTLY, why was the chief of police, and the state attorney at the scene on a sunday evening, which is almost unprecedented, if you, or, if you dont know why, what would be your best idea(S_) why?
Oh, and how many miles is it to the moon,
and why do they call them cookies, when you bake them, you dont cook them?

Though my opponent will try to vilify George Zimmerman's lawful actions, I will show that Zimmerman was wholly within his legal rights during that fateful night, and it was Trayvon Martin's unlawful and violent actions which led directly to the night's tragic conclusion.
In this forum it is you, the reader, who shall be the jurist; you shall consider the available evidence to reach a conclusion at the end of this debate. There will be evidence presented concerning the actions of Zimmerman leading up the shooting; and though you may not have taken the same action under the same circumstance, that does not make the actions any less reasonable in the eyes of the law. The evidence will show that George Zimmerman acted upon an open and honest concern for the safety of his community, and for this alone, he was maliciously attacked by Trayvon Martin.
Upon asking what Martin was doing, Martin knocked Zimmerman to the ground and pounced on him, pinning Zimmerman on his back. A witness hears Zimmerman's cries for help, but no one intervened-- Martin continued the onslaught. Defenseless, bloodied and under attack, Zimmerman was faced with a decision that no one wants to make; poised to defend his own life, he acted in self-defense.
I DONT CLAIM TO KN0OW ANYTHING ABOUT HUMAN NATURE
NOIR DO I KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CRITICAL THINKING
