Great. I went to go and find the compilation from the police footage parts that showed Zimmerman's face when the cops came after the incident and the video has been taken down. All I can state is that the video, from what I could see, distinctly lacked Zimmerman showing any kind of abuse, and it was from that that I drew my conclusions. THAT SAID, I hadn't seen that image from CNN either, nor the ones that follow after it, and the ones that follow showing the cuts across the man's skull look much worse than what was initially implied to be the case. That said, I'm still wondering what the hell instigated this situation to begin with. This wasn't a bad part of town. Hell, the kid's gmail account has several bits of correspondence with universities from college applications. You can't honestly tell me that because he was wearing a fucking hoody and was walking around late at night with a fucking can of arizona iced tea in his hand that this fat-ass really thought that warranted him starting shit that resulted in a fucking fist fight, nor that it warranted him shooting the kid to death.
No matter what, even with the physical damage I can see, it's STILL not enough to convince me. I've been in MUCH worse fights than that, come out looking worse, and I didn't feel the need to pull a gun on the person who I was fighting with, even if they kicked the shit out of me. And, seriously, this guy had to shoot to kill? Are you serious?
Also, consider this... In this same state, only DAYS PRIOR, this happened: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-5743...ing-shots/
Yeah. So, a woman fires WARNING SHOTS at her ABUSIVE HUSBAND, and gets 20 years.
Zimmerman shoots a kid to death without firing any warning shots of his own...gets off scot-free.
I'm gonna say this again: BULLSHIT!
Ahh yes, of course, it's perfectly acceptable that the punishment for over-reacting should be the termination of your life.
I sometimes think you're an idiot. This is one of those times.

No one would have been hit. Nothing. He would have stalked up to me, shined his flashlight in my face, and I would react like a law abiding, reasonable person.
Trayvon went off the handle. That's the only reason he's dead. Trayvon fucked up. He just didn't count on the person he went off on having a gun.
His mistake. And he suffered the consequences.
