Yeah, I've said this repeatedly. I just don't understand a world where someone like Zimmerman, who barely had a mark on him, not one suture, not a black eye, a few scratches on the back of his head....is justified in shooting a 17 year old kid.

so about those scratches ..
what those of you who don't agree with the verdict can't seem to accept is that Martin started the fight. that's a factor the jury concluded .. and they stated that most of the jury believed it was Zimmerman yelling for help not Martin.
while we don't know the findings of the autopsy and what the jury heard about Martin's condition it's my opinion Martin had little to no physical injuries beside the gunshot.
while you can understand Martin being pissed off at Zimmerman following him, once Martin lost his cool and started the fight he was the aggressor and the criminal. Yes a criminal. it's called assault and battery. instead of making racist talk to his girlfriend (yes i'd call "crazy ass cracker" a racist remark) Martin could have called the police himself. or simply kept walking. now if Zimmerman had shot Martin in the back .. that's a different outcome for a trial.
so Timmy, if you want to call those scratches that's fine. Zimmerman's nose is clearly broken and the injuries to the back of his head shows me Martin was not only winning but would not have stopped until Zimmerman was dead. which would have made Martin a murderer.
