Didn't Martin spot Zimmerman's gun only after he was on top of Zimmerman, pounding Zimmerman's head onto the concrete? Zimmerman made a move for it, revealing to Martin he had a gun after which Martin went for the gun but Zimmerman got to it first.
If Martin had stuck to beating up unarmed bus drivers this might never have happened. Too, if the Miami authorities had not cut him loose under political pressure not to arrest more blacks when his backpack was discovered to contain stolen women's jewelry and a burglary tool he may have been locked up in a juvenile detention facility or otherwise disciplined. Other than being suspended from school three times to my knowledge he had not paid the price for any of his past criminal behavior. Too much leniency is not a good thing. It serves to encourage more criminal behavior like sucker punching, grounding and pounding a concerned citizen.
