To make the claim of self-defense (even in Texas), Zimmerman would have to have reasonable fear for his safety - which would mean the young man had to be coming into his house or have a weapon on Zimmerman's property (not on the street.) Clearly, that is not the case here, and he should be charged.
The kid was on his cellphone with a female friend. He said that a strange man was following him. Zimmerman hunted this kid down and shot him. He's a dangerous nut, maybe a racist, and needs to be put away.
