9. I'm starting to think Zimmerman hurt his own nose from gun recoil

Mar 2012

and it knocked him on his ass, thus accounting for the wet, grass-stained back of his shirt. I've been shooting guns since I was 6 years old (dad was a cop & wanted me to know how to handle firearms) and I know that even a handgun can pack a punch when you're distracted. We will probably never know, but how can someone come up from behind and punch you in the nose?!?
