In reply to the discussion: Autopsy results show Trayvon Martin had injuries to his knuckles [View all]obamanut2012
(29,433 posts)33. Your post states several incorrect pieces of information
He was not found with jewelry on his person, nor was he "involved with street fighting," whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. I couldn't care less that he was found with an empty baggie that probably once had held weed.
And, his father DID start looking for him earlier than you say, but let's make believe he didn't: what the hell does that have to do with Travyon's murder???
People do not have a right to "follow" people, especially minors. I was taught that in my CCW permit class, by both an attorney and a police officer: you have a right to protect yourself from someone who will not quit following you. I myself called the police on a man who did that tome, and he was led away in handcuffs.

Sounds to me like he was defending himself, but I'll admit I'm way outside looking in.

All current indications are that if Zimmerman were never born, Trayvon would still be alive.

Yet the video of him only 30 min. after the killing shows NO signs of a broken nose or swollen lips.
