I'm going to be presumptive and say Trayvon probably threw the first punch. But only because he felt threatened. In which case, that's also the reason why Zimmerman pulled the trigger--dude was getting fucked up. As such, the precipitating factor boils down to the fact that Zimmerman followed him. Has there been any clarification on whether or not Neighborhood Watch is actually allowed to do this?
