If you had someone on a drug that causes paranoia and violent outbursts,
WHO are you talking about?
Trayvon?
He had a trace amount of THC in his system. As far as I know, there was no way of knowing how long it had been since he had actually smoked it, and besides, weed is not known for causing violent outbursts (although, I will admit, from personal experience, that it can cause some paranoia).
ZIMMERMAN, on the other hand, had been prescribed two (TWO!) mood altering drugs, at least one of which (Temazepam) is known to cause aggression and paranoia:
and were under someone much taller than you, and stronger, who had wrapped his body totally within yours
"Wrapped his body totally within yours?"
'Splain, please. What exactly does that mean? And by whose account? ZIMMERMAN'S?
And, while we know that Trayvon was taller than Zimmerman by a few inches, how do you know he was stronger? Maybe Zimmerman is strong - but is a big, fat ***** who can't hold his own in a physical fight against an unarmed teenager - because he knows he has the advantage because he has a freakin' gun.

with advance classes on self-defense and Karate,
(Bolding mine.)
Who had the classes ("advance" or otherwise) on "self-defense and Karate?"
Trayvon?
As far as I know, ZIMMERMAN is the only one who had any formal training in martial arts and/or self-defense.
ZIMMERMAN, on the other hand, had been prescribed two (TWO!) mood altering drugs, at least one of which (Temazepam) is known to cause aggression and paranoia:
I have a prescription for Temazepam; it's a sleeping pill.
I may take a dozen of em a year, when I have an early wake up and can't sleep.
They make me sleepy, not aggressive or paranoid.

Stop using temazepam and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
weak or shallow breathing;
fast or pounding heartbeats;
confusion, slurred speech, unusual thoughts or behavior;
hallucinations, agitation, aggression;
thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself;
restless muscle movements in your eyes, tongue, jaw, or neck;
pale skin, easy bruising or bleeding, unusual weakness;
fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms;
problems with urination; or
nausea, stomach pain, low fever, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
Different medications have different side effects for different people; I just had to stop taking a blood pressure medication that I was having difficulty with.
Also, something else that I had meant to mention in that other post, besides what Zimmerman may have been on legally, we will never know if he had mixed those medications with something else - like alcohol - because no tox screen was required of him.
That should be changed; in my opinion, anyone involved in an altercation similar to what happened between Zimmerman and Trayvon, that results in injury and/or death, should automatically be required to submit to a toxicology test - not just the one who ends up dead.
I'm so white I glow, and I predicted OJ would be found not guilty. I also think he got a raw deal in Vegas, a pay back judgment isn't the correct thing to do...
I've been over #32 for many years....
I did say "some" whites, I would never lump all whites together just like I do not expect to lumped in with all blacks either.
Regarding the O.J case a friend of mine that lived in the area was telling me about what the streets knew about the murders. My brother-inlaw met and was talking to O.J in a private bar and told him some of the samethings that I already had privy to 5 years earlier. I based my opinon of the case based on that information
I know gz described all those things happening, but did he say At The Same Time ? In the last 40 seconds, I typed on the computer, used the tv remote, took a sip of water, pet the dog, and picked my nose. All with two hands. Pretty incredible, isn't it ?
DNA. GZ said The Child reached for the gun, not that he held it. Even if he did touch it, 'Touch DNA' is harder to find and test than blood/fluid.
Maybe gz lied about the whole tm reached for the gun story. Other than gz's word, no evidence either way.
I just though that it was odd that Trayvon would reach for something that he supposely could not see, since the gun was holstered in a black case and it was dark and raining.

And do you have any proof whatsoever that 1) Zimmerman was taking any prescription meds at that time and 2) that he ever had any of the side affects you listed because of prescription meds? Having a script for something doesn't mean you take it.

According to Zimmerman the gun was carried concealed and while he was being beaten on his back he tried to shimmy off of the concrete which caused his jacket and shirt to slide up exposing his concealed gun.
Now I know most of the Trayvonbots here refuse to accept anything that Zimmerman said as truth but it makes perfect sense, that story hasn't changed and he's told it the same way since he was questioned about it that night and the next day.
I have personally been on my back with a similar sized concealed handgun in a very similar holster (unloaded) in a training situation and one of the ways you train to escape is to shimmy down towards your attacker's feet in order to gain a weight advantage and maybe get them off of you from a straddle position. I've done exactly what Zimmerman claims he did and I've had my shirt ride up exposing my weapon because of it. I was specifically taking a training class on maintaining control of your self defense weapon in various types of attack situations, a few exactly like what happened to Zimmerman. His story is perfectly plausible whether you believe him or not.

Nope.......because, unlike the dead victim, Zimmerman did not submit to a tox screening and we will never know what he may or may not have had in his system that night.
One of the many travesties of this case, in my opinion.

Truthfully, if it was not for his history of lying it would have been quite believable to me as well, but we are talking about a habitual liar. His creditabilty has as many holes as a pair of 40 year old underwear worn everyday by a septic plumber
