Now, maybe it's been discussed here previously, but with all those injuries, why in the world would you decline medical attention? Hmm.
Well, I have a three part theory:
1) he didn't go to the hospital because his injuries weren't all that bad and he knew it; or
2) he didn't go to the hospital because he was under the influence, possibly mixing his prescription medications with alcohol, and he was afraid that would become obvious during a medical exam; or
3) a combination of one and two.
Whichever it is, those "life threatening" injuries he sustained, and which, according to some, justified his killing an unarmed teenager, turned out to be pretty freakin' negligible.
All this talk about "life threatening" injuries from the Zimmerman defense (and his supporters) has just been trying to prove self defense. I hope the jury sees through it.
She said TM ran from GZ. But, she didn't have to say anything, because TM's actions spoke louder than his words, i.e. even GZ said TM ran, and he followed.
And, I'm saying if YOU were TM, YOU had every right to "stand YOUR ground".

Option 4) He did not have health insurance and could not afford to go to the hospital.

"Life threatening injuries" implies you get your ass to the hospital. Does it not?

So then, again, you have no facts. If you have no facts to back it up, stop bringing it up. I could very well say that Martin was running to find a spot so he could jump Zimmerman trying to be a badass, but that wouldn't be true and I don't have facts to say so.
This is a trial for Zimmerman and self defense, not me or Martin "standing his ground".
Absolutely, and certainly the one medical assistant (or RN?) on the jury would question why he wasn't taken to the ER to assess the extent of damage that occurred due to the alleged head bashing.
Two others work at nursing homes. They see falls, skin tears and injuries too. I think the medical backgrounds will help. Plus, they know what a gun shot to the heart would do too.
How many more blows to the head or slams to the concrete should Zimmerman have endured? How many more would you have endured. (This all assumes Zimmerman isn't lying. I wasn't there.)
Should GZ's response been to shoot Trayvon dead? Was that his only recourse to being beaten?

And what the Neighborhood Watch people advise.

Well, yeah, but obviously GZ is still alive, so his head injuries didn't kill him. We have to deal with what is, not what might have been.

His response was extreme.

Psssstttt: Zimmerman lived there. He had every right to get out of his car and walk around.
Trayvon was a guest of a resident. He had a right to walk around the 'hood as well.
No, Zimmerman simply showed Trayvon his gun, and explained that he had purchased it for his birthday, but that until now he never had a chance to blow out a candle.
