In reply to the discussion: Autopsy results show Trayvon Martin had injuries to his knuckles [View all]Solomon
(12,656 posts)53. Bout time somebody said it. One knuckle? You gotta be kidding me.
People seize on the slightest thing to justify this murder. It would be a failed twilight zone episode if Rod Serling had written it. One knuckle. Could have come from anywhere.
Now we leap to the conclusion that he broke Zimmerman's nose. Ridiculous. I'm sticking to what my eyes saw in the police video, and the "f'ing coon" remark I heard on the videotape. They can try all they want to make me believe I didn't see what I saw, or hear what I heard, it ain't gonna work.

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.
