I think that focusing on Zimmerman's trivial injuries distracts from the salient points.

Zimmerman chased Martin, approached Martin, and then made a threatening gesture as if to reach for a weapon.

Right there, Trayvon Martin's right to use lethal force in the defense of his life kicks in. Everything else which follows -- including Zimmerman's trivial injuries is consistent with that.

But of course, the Pro-Zimmerman camp will try as hard as they can to move past that and focus on these irrelevancies, because in the cold light of day, it's clear that Zimmerman started - and ended - the entire incident.

What is a threatening gesture?

Is tying your shoelaces a threatening gesture?

Is pulling on your ear a threatening gesture?

Is burping a threatening gesture?

Head injuries like when your head bounces off a hard surface. Direct correlation between a gym floor and a pavement.

Not sure where you got the "we" part of that unless you have a mouse in your pocket or something. One of the first pictures made public was the cell phone picture taken of the back of Zimmerman's head BEFORE the EMTs got there.

the salient points will be decided in court, Im just adding my point of interest and some experience, Im sorry I dont join in on the bullshit that passes for "salient points", Ive already stated I think hes guilty of manslaughter. I dont see the point in adding so much to the dick waving and chest thumping that passes for semantics and guesswork.
Yeah a shock I know....

Reaching into your pocket for a potential weapon. See also: Amadou Diallo, where Diallo was shot dead by 4 cops as he reached for his WALLET ( he thought he was being mugged ). The shooting was deemed legal, as a reasonable person in a similar situation would have come to the same conclusion.

Would you fear for your safety if you were being followed at night by a stranger in a car?

Would you fear for your safety if the person following in the car exited and chased you on foot?

Would you fear for your safety if the person chasing you reaches for a potential weapon?

If Trayvon Martin was a cop, and shot George Zimmerman dead after everything Zimmerman did, it would be an open and shut case of Trayvon Martin's self defense.

Of course, since Trayvon Martin's just a dead black kid, you're suggesting he should be treated differently?

"The law, however, does not require that Mr. Wyche, or anyone situated as he was on the night in question, actually sustain serious bodily injury before responding with force, even deadly force. It is enough that he reasonbly apprehend imminent deadly force directed against him."

State v. Wyche

And that's the problem for the State. They can point out that his injuries weren't bad all they want...that doesn't nullify self defense. Before murder 2 or manslaughter can even be considered, self defense has to be nullified.

And what matters for self defense is the moment that the shot was fired. The claim is that George was pinned down, having had his nose broken, head banged against concrete, and Trayvon was reaching for his gun. He has injuries enough to corroborate that he was on the losing end of a fight, and a witness who saw Trayvon clearly on top with George struggling to get up - that more than meets the Defense's burden at trial. Even if George was the aggressor, according to Florida law.

Thus it's up to the State to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that this scenario is false. To date, not a single piece of evidence to prove that has been shown, and if they can't refute that, George goes free.

I guess then that I am not a reasonable person.

Would you fear for your safety if you were being followed at night by a stranger in a car?

Indeed I did when I was stalked by an unmarked, non-descript car. I stopped bicycling and waited it out. After ten minutes I won the waiting game. The car approached me and stopped next to me. There were two cops in it.

quote:

ORIGINAL: farglebargle
Would you fear for your safety if the person following in the car exited and chased you on foot?

A person afoot may be outrun. Someone in a car that cannot be outrun, wielding that vehicle as a weapon, is far more to be feared. So my answer is: I would fear less when that person exited his car.

quote:

ORIGINAL: farglebargle
Would you fear for your safety if the person chasing you reaches for a potential weapon?

As I told you before: I clearly am not a reasonable person. I would politely ask to be shown any such hypothetical weapon in order to verify its existence. Next, if a gun, I would ask for the weapon to be fired in order to establish whether there was a bullet in it. Subsequently I would ask for it to be fired again in order to establish that there is a second - third, fourth, ..., last - bullet in it. After the last bullet was fired, I would walk away.

I rather doubt that a cop would act as Martin did.

In a previous thread I already concluded that Martin was the aggressor. He was an animal that won a Darwin Award. Good riddance to him. The gene pool of his population is improved by his removal from that population.

How can you say there are no witnesses when Trayvon Martin's girlfriend was on the phone at the time and heard Zimmerman approach? And given that Zimmerman's credibility is shot, her testimony appears to be accurate.

Which is irrelevant since the injuries were sustained as Trayvon Martin was fighting for his life. George Zimmerman ADMITS provoking the incident when he reached for a potential weapon.

You have proclaimed the diallo case to be murder to claim it as proof that Martin was justified to attack based on that precident makes you a hypocrite.

When did you hold the seance to find out what Diallo was thinking?

Which is irrelevant since he wasn't drawing his weapon which would mean both were acting in self defense, why is that concept beyond your grasp?

It proves that you were in error about the "we have only seen...." part, and proves that there was NOT a "lot of blood" as you say they claim, even though their report actually says "minor bleeding".

Zero proof of that.

The State still has not shown a single piece of evidence that disproves George's story of being pinned to the ground after having his nose broken and his head banged against concrete, etc.

EMT could not say what the hard object was. The Doctors report stated the head injuries were already healing, this was the day after, how bad was Zimmerman injuries, very minor. Will someone take Raiikun soap box away please.
