From everything I've learned about Zimmerman over the past few weeks, he actually is a good person. He was charged with assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest, while he was drunk, when he was 20 in 2005. Oh, and that charge was reduced to "Resisting without violence". From all accounts it seems like Zimmerman made an effort to turn his life around and be a contributing member of society. He wasn't a vigilante. When his community decided to start a watch, they trusted Zimmerman enough to put him in charge of it. Yet again, none of this screams "wannabe cop" to me. You can choose to believe what you want to believe, but based on the character evidence, Zimmerman was only trying to keep his neighborhood safe. Martin was a lowlife, violent punk. He didn't deserve to die, and had he chosen to get out of the situation instead of escalating it he would likely still be alive.
