The scalp is fragile, the skull itself is pretty strong, but the contents slosh around. Someone smacking your head against the concrete once is going to do damage beyond the little rugburn Zimmerman apparently had. At the very least, a split scalp and concussion. More than once and we're looking at damage not just to the head - severe damage at that, cracked skull and that sort of thing - but also extensive damage to the neck, and with hte grip needed to do this, your face is going to be pretty fucked-up too.
If this had actually happened, the sidewalk would be smeared in Zimmerman's blood. Zimmerman would have gone away from the scene in an ambulance. And Trayvon Martin would be alive and facing trial for assault and battery.
Instead we have a clean sidewalk, a perfectly healthy Zimmerman, and a dead teenager with no Zimmerman DNA on his hands, and no dirt or grass on his clothes.
I have to assume anyone who can't put this picture together is either grossly ignorant of what a fight really looks like, or they have some vested interest in Zimmerman being found innocent.
