Did you see the video of Zimmerman right after this supposed attack?

Does it look like he was punched in the nose to you?

Maybe Zimmerman said that's where he was injured and the cop looked. Even if that dark area is a cut, it is obviously not a huge one, nor one that even warranted a bandage.

I would not have handled it the way z did but he has the right to provide eyes and ears for his neighborhood. So what do you aggressive types want everyone to cower in their homes behind locked doors. To those that think we should sorry bout your luck. Personally I would never kill anyone over property,ridiculous but on top of me busting my head and I can get to a gun you will look like a colander. Best not approach my car either, might get away with that but try to open the door and once again colander. Sorry but way to many innocent people are getting hurt or killed by people that are just plain no good.

I've got news for you...not only did it not look as if he was involved in an altercation, he looked like he just stepped out of a barber's chair after a haircut, shave and a facial.

Okay, so you believe Zimmerman. I get it.

His Story:


Man follows teenage boy with a gun on him, then loses site of the boy and decides to walks back to his car, the teenage boy jumps out and says "You got a problem with me, homie?". The man innocently says "no" and the teenage boy then says "You do now!", punches him in the nose then repeatedly bashes his head into the ground. The teenage boy then goes for his gun and says "You're gonna die tonight!". Somehow the man manages to wrestle his arms free, get his gun from his holster and shoot the teenage boy in the chest. The teenage boy exclaims "You got me!" and keels over.

Sounds like a low budget movie to me.

Later the man is brought in for questioning wearing the same clothes, which appear very clean for the scuffle he described and no blood or bruises anywhere.



Maybe that sounds believable to you but it sounds like BS to me. What motive did Trayvon have to attack Zimmerman from behind? He has no history of violence, but George Zimmerman does. We have no idea what happened but one thing we do know is that Zimmerman pursued Trayvon, it wasn't the other way around. If I was following someone around with a gun, I'd be stocking them. Now if Zimmerman had a right to defend himself and stand his ground, why wouldn't Trayvon? Too bad he isn't here to tell his side of the story.

I was not there and don't intend to use my imagination to paint the picture that suit an emotional response. [MOD CUT]

Well I guess you must be a ******* then because you have repeatedly stated that Trayvon attacked Zimmerman and punched him in the nose as if you know this to be true.

To be the voice of dissent- even a small head wound can bleed like stink. You can hold point pressure and stop it in a few minutes and in fact the giant turbans seen erroneously on TV don't tamponade the bleed and would actually just let a patient bleed into it.

So he could have a small cut that stopped bleeding.

But you would expect some blood on him I'd suspect.

I watched that video several times last night since it was played over and over here, and it's still being played over and over. We did see the officer look at the back of his head and wipe something off onto his uniform when he patted Zimmerman down. I didn't see the black line being shown today. but the video is very grainy. I really was surprised at how good Zimmerman looked. For someone who claimed to be pinned down, beaten and screaming for help, he appeared in good shape with no blood on his clothes. We'll just have to wait and see.
