Threads like these REALLY show how many white people this forum has.

Because of lack of comments or not knowing what DMX and DXM are?

Unless Zimmerman physically threatened or attacked Martin, Martin had no excuse for assaulting him. If Zimmerman felt his life was threatened by the beating he was receiving, he had every right to use deadly force in retaliation. Personally, if I am armed and threatened with assault, I will draw on my attacker(s). I don't care if they are unarmed.

Zimmerman didn't kill Trayvon Martin. He just carried the bullet a while.

Key elements in Zimmerman's story certainly couldn't be ruled out, indeed he was acquitted because honestly we just didn't have all that much to go on regarding the actual fighting. To be fair to the Martins, we don't know who started the physical stuff. There are some common sense inconsistencies though that keep me thinking the prosecution dropped the ball on making a case for manslaughter.

The only story that would utterly convince me he wasn't 100% responsible is if Trayvon was actively went for the gun leaving George no other option. My problem with Zimmerman's basic stance is that it happens to be the absolute extreme version of events:

- Where Trayvon is the complete 17 year-old 158-pound thug who was so physically dominating as to convince a 29 year old full-bodied George that his life was in danger. George technically waived the "stand your ground" defense anyway.

- When the badly beaten George refuses medical treatment, then later arranges for a family physician to treat him. Call me crazy but aren't black eyes supposed to be visible within the first hour of recieving them? The county medical examiner on the other hand stated George's injuries at the time were "very insignificant".

- In the space of two minutes between the time he hung up with 911 and the time the police pulled up, Zimmerman... yelled help "probably 50 times" while getting his head slammed against concrete some "25 times" and came away with wounds that nearly disappeared after they were cleaned up.

I don't know about you guys but once I really looked at that, it certainly opened up Zimmerman's account to the possibility of exaggeration if not all out fabrication.

At any rate, I think Weiner and Prince George gave us a much needed reprieve from the navel-gazing Questing Beast that is racism in America. What is the standard for progress if not measured by equality under the law? It's easier to make blanket statements about race instead of focusing on the issue at hand which in this case involved just two people.

If it's not the accused, it's the cops. If it's not the cops, it's the prosecution. If it's not the prosecution, it's the judge. If it's not the judge it's the jury. If nothing else, it's all of them. Racism becomes a roving accusation that no one can dispute. So the fire spreads as many base their standards on incredibly stupid people.

I'd like to know how they plan to blame the AG when the Justice Dept.'s investigation falls through.

You are absolutely right about the race angle. Nothing like making an accusation that people accept as true, simply because the accusation was made (lest they risk being labeled racist themselves; nothing worse than disagreeing with an irrational mob).

As for how beaten Zimmerman was, the pictures of his injuries at the police station look like they're consistent with his story. I've hit my head really hard a few times, without bruising or breaking the skin. I'm not sure how many strikes on the pavement I'd tolerate before getting scared enough to pull a gun. I'm not sure it matters, ultimately. All it takes is one good smack in the right spot to do irreversible brain damage. How hard do you have to hit it to kill someone? I don't know. I don't think I'd take the time to look it up while it was happening to me. I'd just do whatever it took to make it stop.

Maybe we should just let Honey Boo Boo have a special racism episode before then so we're all properly lobotomized.

I don't think there's enough brain in a human skull! We'll be losing vertebrae by the time it's over.

We barely sustained the "Scratch and Sniff" episode. I think I need to see a neurologist after hearing about that.

I got a headache reading your post about it.

I went and researched the whole gory story last night because I realized I was clueless as to Zimmerman's full accounting of events. Like most people, all I really knew was what the news had to say. I felt comfortable with the conclusions I had drawn, but I was basically ignorant of one whole side of the story.

Imagine my surprise when his version was far more credible than I could ever have guessed based on the most widely accessible version. I'm still in shock.
