Martin and Zimmerman - A reasoned logical discussion

[A Theist]

I have to say I don't believe that Trayvon Martin would have been capable of pinning a man as large as Zimmerman down and beating him as badly as what you have described. Martin looks to be a tallish (I'm 5'2, so every one is tallish to me) and rather gangly. Zimmerman appears much larger. Not to say that a smaller person is going to lose a fight outright, but it does put the odds in Zimmerman's favor just going on his size. I still think it is unfair to bring a gun to a fist fight.

I definitely have to disagree here. You can't attribute size to strength and fitness. Yes, Zimmerman is heavier. But he's also dumpy and out of shape compared to Martin who was obviously more physically fit and more than likely the stronger of the two. I've seen this too often where a gangly guy has better than average strength over someone heavier.
