Zimmerman's grandfather was black. It's difficult being part black and racist, but who knows.

George Zimmerman had a broken nose, two cuts and two black eyes: ABC News report [View all] Vattel May 2012 OP

See? JackInGreen May 2012 #1

It's not that hard. surrealAmerican May 2012 #21

Thanks surreal JackInGreen May 2012 #26

Be sure that the cursor is inside the Message text: box when you do that, otherwise nothing happens. patrice May 2012 #58

Love the signature quote, miss the show. rwsanders May 2012 #140

HEADS UP: next day doctor reports probably not admissible, if objected to. Does FL want conviction? leveymg May 2012 #170

thanks, I needed that hint too. northoftheborder May 2012 #36

Oh my. Control-Z May 2012 #52

or do it the sysadmin way.... Evasporque May 2012 #135

You can also type the following word: :sarcasm: lunatica May 2012 #125

Falsified, no doubt Gman May 2012 #2

I was wondering JackInGreen May 2012 #4

Black eyes are bruises, and bruises sometimes take a while to develop. Vattel May 2012 #41

BS - I had my nose broken, and it swelled up immediately. He was unmarked in the police video. leveymg May 2012 #144

You deny that black eyes sometimes take time to develop after an injury? Wow. okay. Vattel May 2012 #163

I've viewed the video of GZ being led into the station many times. leveymg May 2012 #166

so his medical records are falsified? Vattel May 2012 #174

Next day medical records inherently suspect. Motive to self-inflict is leveymg May 2012 #180

Oh I see your point: the reports could be valid but the injuries self-inflicted. Vattel May 2012 #185

Most people don't go around hunting "f-ucking coons' with a handgun, either. leveymg May 2012 #186

Is that what he said? I don't know. Vattel May 2012 #187

Zimmerman, Sr. was allowed to accompany his son to the scene during a reenactment the day after. leveymg May 2012 #190

Your new claim is more plausible than your initial claim. Vattel May 2012 #205

Exactly! This is a murder trial not some tort claim for hit-and-run. edcantor May 2012 #199

I'm just glad to know that Treyvon stood his ground and got in some licks before he was murdered. xtraxritical May 2012 #172

we don't actually KNOW that. We know the shooter appeared .. edcantor May 2012 #200

Any chance his dad punched him in the effin' face when he found out what he did? auburngrad82 May 2012 #143

my first thought as well. mopinko May 2012 #146

His eyes weren't swollen, his nose wasn't red Gman May 2012 #189

Not saying he did falsify injuries, but the motive to endure that would be HIGH, from threat of patrice May 2012 #15

So how did Trayvon get the injuries on his knuckles? dkf May 2012 #116

This message was self-deleted by its author dpibel May 2012 #123

Some injuries on Trayvon's knuckles would not preclude more "injuries-for-hire" later & Even patrice May 2012 #154

able? naaman fletcher May 2012 #193

Assuming one hypothetical instance of "ability", i.e. "one good blow", also establishes likelihood? patrice May 2012 #197

I'm just saying... naaman fletcher May 2012 #204

Do you have evidence? I don't think so! edcantor May 2012 #201

A key question ProgressiveProfessor May 2012 #112

Did anyone at the police station do there job exboyfil May 2012 #77

Kinda think perhaps his buddies at the station who humored the deranged vigilante Overseas May 2012 #83

Walking around the police garage goclark May 2012 #107

Must have been self inflicted, frogmarch May 2012 #13

video I saw when he was taken to station was an "x" on his head that looked self-inflicted wordpix May 2012 #234

Well that's working out well. (nt) enough May 2012 #16

I still don't get how he could think his life was threatened, since HE was the one with THE GUN. patrice May 2012 #18

The question is savalez May 2012 #30

Yes, that takes somepriority over my question because it preceded it in time. That happened before Z patrice May 2012 #53

Yes. Had he not stereotyped and savalez May 2012 #110

Yes they can in some circumstances hack89 May 2012 #130

So what kind of injuries would warrant minavasht May 2012 #33

Are you suggesting that someone with a gun in their hand in that situation, mentally assess how patrice May 2012 #50

After-all, the balance of power was hugely in Z's favor. Do you know what it takes to beat someone patrice May 2012 #54

Exactly! minavasht May 2012 #55

It might FEEL like a life or death situation, but it might RATIONALLY be otherwise. Law is rational. patrice May 2012 #105

That is not quite the way it works ProgressiveProfessor May 2012 #113

Thank you for the rational assessment. Vattel May 2012 #119

Thanks! for the info. Is there somekind of standard for BGI? Or is it whatever patrice May 2012 #159

There are precedents and mostly jury instructions ProgressiveProfessor May 2012 #192

yeah and you keep ignoring that word "reasonable" CreekDog May 2012 #227

I understand what it means in a legal context and the standards of proof ProgressiveProfessor May 2012 #230

You don't have a single valid point or question. Control-Z May 2012 #56

is there any evidence minavasht May 2012 #68

He was following Trayvon. He was told not to by the police. Thor_MN May 2012 #134

Doesn't mean that he started the physical confrontation... Cave_Johnson May 2012 #211

The confrontation started when Zimmerman chased him down Thor_MN May 2012 #220

There's a difference... Cave_Johnson May 2012 #221

You are free as to your opinion Thor_MN May 2012 #236

the unarmed kid ended up dead by the guy who followed him CreekDog May 2012 #229

he called him an effin something and then took off following him CreekDog May 2012 #228

Not true in every situation. hack89 May 2012 #131

Happens all the what? dpibel May 2012 #121

The problem is, Trayvon had the right to "stand his ground" when confronted by a gun totin' man auburngrad82 May 2012 #145

That does not really matter so much as it is reasonable to be in fear for your life treestar May 2012 #149

". . .Trayvon only had injuries on his knuckles" -- What about the big friggin lethal bullet hole? Hoyt May 2012 #32

I guess we have to agree to dissagree minavasht May 2012 #35

Sure. Trayvon -- unarmed teenager -- was pursued by jerk who would have stayed in his car sans gun. Hoyt May 2012 #38

Maybe, maybe not - were you there? minavasht May 2012 #39

why wasnt he treated after the murder by EMTs ? a broken nose is not hard to miss on your face!!!! lunasun May 2012 #25

pics? ER report for broken nose? If not, it didn't happen. Lil Missy May 2012 #62

There should be police and EMT reports. Broken noses do not normally require an ER visit. ProgressiveProfessor May 2012 #114

He went to the doctor the next day. Vattel May 2012 #120

Lies anyone? Dawson Leery May 2012 #104

Showed up at a doctor's office, you say? The next day? KamaAina May 2012 #109

Actually it came out early in the media blast that he sought medical treatment the following day. ProgressiveProfessor May 2012 #115

Yet it did not come out in the media blast that he had a broken nose and two black eyes. KamaAina May 2012 #167

There are medical reports. Vattel May 2012 #117

Raises questions about the Prosecution. Medical reports made the next day probably not admissable. leveymg May 2012 #168

I don't know how the prosecutors plan to use that evidence. Vattel May 2012 #177

Doubtful. What is there are the EMT reports, based only visual examination and verbal questions ProgressiveProfessor May 2012 #191

I wonder why the EMT report wasn't leaked as well? Nine May 2012 #183

Very good point. The family doctor's report probably won't be given weight as evidence, anyway. leveymg May 2012 #188

I would not be so sure of that... ProgressiveProfessor May 2012 #194

Why would you assume imaging was done? Nine May 2012 #198

Because imaging is basic today in US medicine ProgressiveProfessor May 2012 #202

Then it seems the family doc did not follow basic protocol. Nine May 2012 #213

I am very curious if any imaging was done ProgressiveProfessor May 2012 #214

Not always. I broke my nose in 2005 and never had any trouble breathing, nor much blood. slackmaster May 2012 #203

It wasn't until I read this article that I realized Zimmerman's defense is justification. BlueIris May 2012 #206
