So looting stores is self defense? Yelling for the death of white people is self defense? Calling for the death of cops is self defense? Blowing up cars is self defense?
Just as the National Socialist German Workers's Party heroically rose up in 1938 and bashed in the windows of stores owned by their Jewish oppressors in the event known as Kristallnacht, so must African Americans follow their example.
And Trayvon was banging Zimmerman's head into to loving concrete really hard before he got shot.
Don't you realize that violence = assault + power? Trayvon had no power in society, therefore what he did might have been forceful, but you can't call it 'violence.' Saying that anyone other than white people can commit violence shows a blatant misunderstanding of even the most elementary sociological principles.
