Do you need more time research that "attack" statement?

Also, Zimmerman was a self appointed watch guy.[B] That title doesn't hold any water legally. It means as much as it would if I appointed myself the watch over my neighborhood. Look at the brightside, as far as you go, one black man is President, another is dead. You are batting .500.

^ Genius, the self appointed was in reference to his "authority", in which I gave an example by how much authority I would have in the same situation.

As the excerpts from the Neighborhood Watch Manual clearly point out, all civilian watchmen are self appointed. Law enforcement likes to work closely with them and the neighbors that benefit from their efforts have nothing but praise for their contribution to safety in the neighborhoods they watch over.

You were trying to paint Zimmerman as the Barney Fife of neighborhood watch. For all you or anyone else knows he may have done quite a bit of good for his neighbors prior to this tragedy. So when your bias is called out, you start acting like you were just making a legal observation. There are no situations in which the actions of neighborhood watch volunteers "hold water legally".

Mark O'Mara just made an excellent point to the jury, and one that the prosecution will have a lot of problem with. If Trayvon was scared and worried about Zimmerman, why didn't he just go on in the house? He was within steps of it. Why turn around and return to wait for Zimmerman behind some bushes in the dark, when it was raining, in an apparent ambush? People need to decide if Trayvon was a boy out to buy candy, or if he had the courage to confront Zimmerman in the dark. Phone texts reveal he was big into fist fighting and getting himself into trouble. That's why he was suspended from school at the time, and that's why he beat Zimmerman so handily in a fight. A fight that was at least in part seen by prosecution witness John Good who, testified that it was Trayvon on top doing the MMA beatdown.
