And we wonder why this case reeks...

Video shows Zimmerman without blood, bruises - CBS News

This is the surveillance video

George Zimmerman on Police Surveillance | Video - ABC News

Nothing Zimmerman claims makes sense to me, especially after seeing this video. Just my opinion.

This may be the answer:

Black families can be fine upstanding people...white trash can be rich...and not be upstanding...just because someone lives in a gated hood....and may have more money...does not make them superior. Nor does it give them the right to be crazy---which Zimmerman seemed to be...what a waste...of a life....Am sorry for using the term "white trash"--- but money does not buy class...so perhaps I will just say...dumb elite thinking white people....
Egads, what makes you think this Zimmerman was rich or that the gated community was a rich one. The gated community was described as a lower middle class place where all races lived.
Think apartments that at some point got converted to condos or townhomes.
Zimmerman did not seem to be crazy or he would not have all these black people coming forward to defend him.
I really know of no money regarding Zimmerman. Maybe his retired father would be who you are jealous of. He may have made money and be upper middle class.

I'm sorry, but my instinct is not to defend the "victim" in a situation where his parents start out with a PR offensive that includes baby photos and leave out his record of drug, theft and assault related juvenile delinquency.
It's one thing to put your best foot forward, and quite another to lie by omission.

I'm sure the paramedics did check him out, clean him up and make sure he felt good enough to go to the police station.
He was several hours with the police, had a broken nose and I am sure the paramedics already gave a statement regarding any blood they had to wipe away.

Nonsense, at the time there was no evidence to go forward with to prosecute Zimmerman on.
He may have at first talked with Trayvon, but he took off and was even reporting to 911 that he had run away before he came back and attacked Zimmerman, so there wasn't any stalking by Zimmerman, just an attack by Trayvon.

One of the attorneys for Trayvon's family - her name is Jasmine Rand, is seriously hot. If I ever met her, I would lay down the Skydive Outlaw charm on her, and get her to do a tandem jump and then totally get her off.

Thats my only commentary on the case at this point.

I'm sure she would be VERY interested in a high wage earning go getter like yourself. :-)

This is according to George Zimmerman, who has every reason to lie. I was accidentally knocked down in a store, and the very first thing the paramedics did was check for head injuries. Zimmerman was not taken to a hospital but he claims his head was bashed into the ground over and over again. In the latest police video released, Zimmerman is walking around very steadily without assistance. I am not a police video expert, but I see no injuries at all, not even blood on his shirt. How can he say he was beaten so badly that he feared for his life?

I assume all of this will come out when there is a trial. However, Zimmerman should not be walking around free after shooting an unarmed teenager to death.

I have a right to walk on any street at anytime and not be stalked or questioned. No, I am not interested in talking to you. Go about your business. When men I don't know approach me after dark, I assume my life is in imminet danger. That I may be robbed or killed.

Yeah good point. What the hell kind of country are we living in where some armed civillian can just start harassing people under the guise of "neighborhod watch"? I find this Zimmerman guy a compete and utter moron. Who knows what happened but the simple truth is if this idiot didn't have a gun on him both of these clowns would have gone home bloodied and bruised to live another day. Unfortunately some young punk 17 year old black teenager was shot dead. I'm a HUGE supporter of the 2nd Amendment but with like everything else these days in America there are too many f'ing idiots like Zimmerman who ruin a good thing. Way too many guns not only in the hands of criminals but in the hands of law abiding morons like Zimmerman. And these law abiding moronic gun owners are going to ruin it for the rest of it.

What's funny is anyone skilled in self defense, quick with a knife or a metal baton would have made mince meat out of the tubby slob before he would have gotten the chance to even think about pulling out his gun. That's what so many dumb gun owners and CCWers fail to realize. A real criminal who knows violence and knows how to fight.......well guys like Zimmerman wouldn't ever have a chance! Instead he throws a gun in his waist and goes out patrolling the streets of his neighborhood like some superhero picking a fight with the first "teenager" that looks suspicious.

This entire fiasco is disgusting and an utter distraction from the true problems we are facing in America. The last thing this country needs is another race war. One question I have is how do white people get throw under the bus here? This Zimmerman guy seems like your typical fat out of shape Latino not some caucasian? Maybe I"m missing something!
