according to the guy that wrote the law, yes you can if you reasonably feel threatened enough. What "enough" might mean, or "reasonably" is the question. So Zimmerman got a bloody nose. Wah wah. He's alive. Based on what I know right now, I'd say decking him might be reasonable, banging his head on the road, if Trayvon did do that, maybe not. On the other hand what they tell you in self-defense classes is that if you are going to fight back fight back good and hard.
I disagree with "thug" -- it's not proven. My son is 6'4 and that doesn't make him a thug.
