I agree. Maybe the guy shouldnt have followed or even had a gun (although it is his right). I am not trying to judge either person involved. I just never felt, from what we knew, that Zimmermann went out with intent to kill anyone especially specifically a black man (hate crime).....the scenario just didnt add up to that in my mind. He may or may not be found guilty of something but I seriously think that the media has forced the state to overplay their hand on this one. This is gonna be a bad bad scene if he is acquitted. The additional blood that will spill should be on the media's and professional race baiter's hands.....imo, their actions hurt the true sufferers of racial discrimination.......they are like the little boy crying "wolf".... |

Okay, I've read both reports -- the one that Fox lists and the one Zimmerman with two black eyes, a nose fracture, and a head abrasion; the WFTV.com one has him with a broken nose and a head abrasion. Looks like we've got contradicting reports as the media rushes to be first rather than be right. |

I dont think it was you but there was someone on here who instantly questioned a '250 lb man being beat up by a 160 lb teenager' (paraphrasing due to laziness)..... The truth is that a lot of people instantly jumped to conclusions and firm opinions before having any knowledge of what happened. We all could have done better on the issue of letting the case play out a little more. |

I'm sure that one wasn't me....I never said anything about Zimmerman's weight because when I saw pictures of him I knew the media's report of him 'being 250 pounds' wasn't true. |

About the black eyes. did we ever see a pic of Zimmermanns eyes after in incident? Either immediately or within a day or 2 after? I dont remember seeing it. He wasnt arrested for weeks after. Are those the only face pics we've seen after the arrest? Are there differences in degrees of a black eye? Im no doctor... |

well, like I said before, this is a message board so we are entilted to jump to conclusions, we may just be wrong in the end, oh well. We're here to discuss this and that's what we've been doing. I initially thought he should have been arrested and rightfully so, I think that's what people were most upset about in the beginning. |

there is video of him entering the police station the night of the shooting, he was in handcuffs. I didn't see anything that looked like a black eye, but that's the thing with bruises, they become more noticable over a day or two depending on how severe. |

fair enough. If you remember tho, it got pretty heated and maybe even a little personal when people were just expressing their opinions. Just stating that we all could slow down a little when passions get a little high on here.....we are all entitled to our opinions for sure, we just all seem to go to another level pretty quickly when it comes to some of these issues. |

I dont remember a face shot in that video but I may have missed it.....you hit on my point tho, black eyes generally take a day or 2 to develop. |

bliver, this post is a massive reversal from previous posts, which is why it is extremely difficult to give you any credibility on this story. Example: Here you implied that Zimmerman actually baited Martin in so that he could shoot him. (which looks even more foolish now that we see the degree of Zimmerman's injuries) http://s15.zetaboards.com/Our_Hoosier_Board/single/?p=8248931&t=7177141 Maybe I'll just go get my 44 and go start some shit with someone because I think they look suspicious, then wait for that person so feel threatened enough to confront me, then mouth off to him, then wait to get hit so I can open fire...another coward with a gun In this post, you state specifically that "the way you see it", Zimmerman baited Martin in. In this post, you state concretely that the baiting theory "is what happened" whether I see it that way or not. |

but if his nose was broke, there will be medical records stating that, but those haven't came out and I don't think they will, which then paints zimmerman as a liar - bliver |

you are correct...I had your post confused with Mongos Right he beat up the man who weighed 100 pounds more than him - Mongo |

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47453164/ns/us_news-the_new_york_times/ From what is known of the investigation and the available evidence, what exactly happened in the dimly lighted residential development that Sunday night may remain out of reach. Given Mr. Zimmerman’s assertion that he was acting in self-defense, and lacking enough evidence to the contrary, the original prosecutor in the case, Norm Wolfinger, whose jurisdiction includes Sanford, filed no charges against him. MSM already trying to walk it back. Now they are already trying to find the excuses to why there may not be a conviction when they were the ones who trumped it all up without knowing the facts. Not surprised. |

I actually think there is a solid chance that the judge will determine that there isn't enough evidence to even go to trial |

Gotta find someone to blame istead of seeing that maybe there never was enough evidence or that a crime MAY not have even been committed.......sad. |
