Does George Zimmerman Appear Unscathed in New Police Video?

George Zimmerman, Shooter of Trayvon Martin, Appears Unscathed in Clip Aired by CNNs Anderson Cooper, ABC News

Tonight, CNN’s Anderson Cooper aired a clip of George Zimmerman, the man who shot Trayvon Martin, being escorted into the Sandford police station in handcuffs. The video was originally obtained by ABC News, and raises some questions about the account Zimmerman gave of the night he shot Martin.

Zimmerman‘s attorney had stated that he believed Trayvon Martin broke Zimmerman’s nose. Yet, as Cooper notes in the video, there is no sign in the video of any physical injury to the portion of Zimmerman’s face that is shown, which includes his nose.

However, as Cooper also notes, the officer continues to glance at the back of Zimmerman’s head. The head wound Zimmerman was supposed to have suffered beyond his alleged broken nose would have been on the back of his head, even though the camera quality is too poor to make out exactly what the back of Zimmerman’s head looks like. The officers also rub something off Zimmerman’s jacket, which Cooper speculates might be blood, but is impossible to make out, again due to camera quality.

Nevertheless, the account that Zimmerman’s lawyer has since given of his actions does appear to be embellished, based on this tape. Zimmerman also appears more physically fit than previously disseminated photos of him suggest. Watch the clip from Cooper’s show below, and see what you make of the depiction of Zimmerman:

George Zimmerman’s father has now stepped forward to speak with Orlando television station WOFL-TV:

LAKE MARY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) – For the first time since that fateful night on February 26, the father of a neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed an unarmed teenager sat down for a television interview.

Robert Zimmerman, father of George Zimmerman, said he decided it was time to speak out for his son, against the advice of others.   He shared with us what George said happened on the night that 17-year-old Trayvon Martin died.

“It’s my understanding that Trayvon Martin got on top of him and just started beating him,” the 64-year-old Robert Zimmerman said.

 

 

And some bloggers are noting possible signs of injury to Zimmerman in the video.  The DC points to a possible mark

on the back of Zimmerman’s head:

Fox News host Sean Hannity also stressed that Zimmerman had already been treated by paramedics prior to his arrival at the police station:

    Nobody can look at this video and say, zimmerman is guilty beyond all reasonable doubt.

    Comments like;
    he is too clean or wasn’t walking like someone that was attacked or beaten are stupid and made by someone seeing what they want to see, not willing to wait for the facts before placing judgement.

    I was attacked and beaten one night and almost strangled to death before fighting off my attacker.
    Later while speaking to the police, I didnt walk like I was beaten iether.

    This video is just another media tool to fan the flames of racial hate in the name of ratings.

    According to the media reports,

    Trayvon was an innocent 12 year old boy who was brutally shot down in cold blood by a gun toting, racist white guy, who hated black people and was looking to kill some black kid that night.

    Media LOVES this kind of stuff because they can use it to get ratings!

    Week minded corporate conditioned sheeple are swallowing the *********.

    The only thing this video proves is that Zimmerman was arrested as evidenced by the handcuffs.

    Which is not what was initially reported.

    Its good to see C.L. Bryant coming forward in the name of reason and sanity, not all black leaders are racists.

      The same liberals who were crying, why didn’t the police do anything to him, are the fools that didn’t know that they did handcuff him and evaluate the situation. Liberals and lefties think that their opinions are facts and the law. Then they retreat to racial comments, when none are warranted. They especially like to play the blame game, and disregard any differences of opinion. In their mind, they’re always right. They go on to assume a gazillion things as if it were the very truth from heaven. They then go on to cry wolf, as if they were some sort of victims. They’re pathetic, illogical, and spout pure nonsense.

      Self defense is an affirmative defense. That means a defense that goes “I did it but …” An affirmative defense works differently from a straightforward “I didn’t do it” defense in that the defendant has to prove the part that comes after the “but …” The prosecution only has to prove that you shot a guy, it’s up to you to prove you had a reason.

      “That’s mighty white”

      First of all, the guy is not white, just because of his name. Second, there is nothing about being white that inherently suggests that all white people assume that other white people do not commit crimes.

      Third, the presumption of innocence is the basis of all legal prosecutions, so until it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman committed murder, in the eyes of the law he is innocent.

      I can’t guess your race from your comment but I would certainly guess that you failed high school civics.

      Let’ see…we need to presume that Mr. Zimmerman is innocent until proven guilty.

      Trayvon wasn’t presumed to be innocent when he was stalked by Mr. Zimmrman. He was profiled for WWB – Walking While Black. Trayvon wasn’t presumed innocent when confronted by Mr. Zimmerman. Trayvon wasn’t presumed innocent when he was murdered by Mr. Zimmerman. No, in fact he was labeled as the aggressor even though his sole intent was to flee the person following and harrassing him. Oh, Trayvon wasn’t presumed innocent while wearing his hoodie…no, in fact many of you on here called him a hood, a banger and a thug, an those are the nice names. Was Trayvon presumed to be innocent when his twitter and facebook accounts were hacked and published in an attempt to excoriate him in the press? Of course not.

      You see, the only people in this country who are EVER presumed innocent of any crime until proven guilty are white people.

      Before you begin, I am not a liberal, I am not a democrat, I am not a race baiter. I am a hard working american who struggles to do the right thing like every decent american. It absolutely disgusts me to see the country I fought for turning out this way. Al Sharpton doesn’t have to speak for every black in order for some of what he says to still be true. Every black that walks the street and wears a hoodie is not a thug in a gang trying to rob or kill you. I happen to be a pastor of a church. I lost a son to murder by a white drugged up crackhead.

      @ Pastor GTCOGIC,

      First, I am sorry for the loss of your son. I can’t imagine the pain you experienced.

      Your entire post otherwise screams of your bias (and, dare, I say prejudical) mindset in this matter. I wasn’t there, nor were you, the night whatever actually happened to Trayvon. However, your WWB bias suggests that only blacks are potential targets in this country. I fear for my safety and life every single time I walk alone in a city at night. I have no idea the race of the shadowy people who lurk on city streets at night. Yet, I am apprehensive.

      Further, your comparison of Trayvon’s “presumption of innocence” to Zimmerman’s is apples and oranges. You suggest you have all the details from that night and that Zimmerman exercised legal rights in what subsequently occurred. Maybe your theory is correct, maybe it’s not…..if you are right, it wasn‘t society that removed Trayvon’s innocence……only the potential perp. The issue for Zimmerman, however, is that he potentially will be charged with murder. In that case, it is our laws that assume he is innocent until proven guilty. No one person, nor the vigilante NBP, can deny Zimmerman’s right for his date in court to allow him his right to a trial……and that is exactly how it should be. If a jury of his peers finds him guilty, then he should pay the appropriate penalty for his crime. That is the law of our land.

      um…lumbar spine…yes I have decided he’s innocent, because the Constitution says he’s innocent UNTIL proven guilty. FACT 1-zimmerman’s story, FACT 2, witness confirms at least part of his story placing martin on top of zimmerman beating him. FACT 3-according to police report, zimmerman had blood on his face, lacerations on the back of his head, and WAS TREATED MEDICALLY IN BACK OF CRUISER. ever had a broken nose? I’ve given one that was a geyser, I‘ve received one that didn’t bleed that much at all. oh, and another fact, zimmerman states on the 911 call that martin was LOOKING IN WINDOWS AND ACTING SUSPICIOUS. Neighborhood watch pamphlet I’ve looked up define suspicious behavior including guess what…LOOKING IN WINDOWS. So all these people saying he went to get a snack at 711 and was returning home are wrong. He made at least one extra stop to look in a window. I guess the fact that at school he had a book bag with a flathead screwdriver and jewelry couldn’t possibly lend credibility to the statement of him looking in windows? I mean why not if you all are making the leap that this was a 12 year old boy who was murdered while minding his own business.

      @Copatriots. Thank you for a rational and well thought out rebuttle. I would only disagree with you on one point…my statements were not being made to determine guilt or innocence on the part of either person. My statements were made as a direct result of the hundreds, if not thousands of posts this site has received from the first day this story was reported that immediately judged Zimmerman innocent and Trayvon Martin guilty, and might I add, deserving of what happened to him. This is not my opinion, but should you pick any one of the stories posted on this site, and read the comments section, you will see that this is so.

      I grew up in the civil rights era, where blacks were killed and imprisoned almost daily, based on nothing more than perception and innuendo. Times have changed, and I thought for the better. Yet, I read on here people advocating race riots,advocating violence, etc. I hope you would agree with me that due to the conservative nature of this site, and due to the fact that the majority, not all but the majority of the people on this site are white. Therefore, the majority of the posts being left here are being done by whites, not blacks. Would you be fair and state with me that bias is a two headed coin? Would you leave a reply to some of the others on here and make the same statement you made to me? Or could there also be some bias on your part as well? I mean you did single me out for comment.

It is possible that we can be great friends and discuss and debate principles that help our races come together. I’m all for that. But as you ask me to open my eyes to my possible bias, I’m asking you to do the same. As I said before, I’ve read some of your posts on here. It is interesting that you did not rebut or reach out to the people spewing the vile and vitriol that is permeated here. You happened to reach out to the person that you presumed is of another race who put up an opposing view to yours. That is fine, and I appreciate and respect your view.

      In this video the affected area of Zimmermans face is less than 25×25 pixles. As well it is after he has already been cleaned up by an EMT, you know they have to do that sort of thing seeing as how allowing some one to walk around with blood all over them is a bio hazard.

      Zimmerman yes.
      9-11 dispatch, we don’t need you to do that
      Zimmerman, ok.

      So he follows him anways, does Martin confront the guy, cause he’s following him.
      If so, wouldn’t you, if someone is stalking you?

      So if he did confront him, and he beat Zimmerman up, and then Zimmerman shot him. Claims Self defense.

      How is it self defense, when you were the one stalking the guy.

      9-11 dispatch told you not to follow him

      you did anyways, then you get beat up, and you shoot Martin.

      It’s not self defense if you were the AGITATOR.

      @ Pastor GT (as a Christian, I noticed your identification as such and feel compelled to address you accordingly)

      I read your comment as I read and respond to others every day. When something speaks to me, I respond. Your post did. As I noted above, this story (which is sad in countless ways) should have remained a local issue and has become insanely politicized. To be honest, I haven‘t followed the news on this story from it’s inception so I likewise haven’t seen all of the comments.

      I have, however, noticed everyone thinking they know what happened that night and rushing to judgment without allowing the police to do their jobs. I have also noticed Obama politicizing Trayvon‘s death and Trayvon’s own parents seemingly trying to capitalize on it. It is all incredibly sad.

      Your post struck me as furthering this as a racial issue. It is not. It is a matter of an altercation that occurred one night between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin that ended tragically in the death of one young man.

      Surely, I agree with you and condemn any acts of rioting of violence. I sense you are reading frustration by what this has become versus a racial issue.

      I actually hadn’t got very far in the comments to address others……as you can see yours is near the top. I responded to a comment earlier as you can also see. I am not being selective on my responses because I am just not following this story very closely. I truly believe it should be a local issue. I clicked on the article originally because the headline indicates a new twist that made me curious. Again, your post struck me.

      As to Christ seeking justice, I am curious. He surely conveyed love more. Where do you find justice being something a Christian should pursue more than love?

      I do agree we could be great friends and could discuss and debate principles that help our races come together. I just ask that we leave race at the door and discuss issues as fellow Christians.

      FWIW, I didn’t presume you were of another race. You presented yourself as such in the last paragraph of your original post. :-)

      Sorry troll, but nothing in KC’s comment said anything about Zimmerman being innocent. Quit trying to stir things up by being a complete moron. To tell you the truth if KC had said he was innocent he would have been correct because in this country we have a little thing called innocent until PROVEN guilty. The news media spouting half truths and innuendo does not make the man guilty. Showing pictures of Trayvon when he was 12, 13 and 14 is really irresponsible at the very least. I think you should maybe take a valium or some ritalin whatever it is you need to take to even you out and let the police and courts do their job before you appoint yourself judge jury and executioner.

      While I sympathize with the loss of your son, I have to say that your comment was very off base. You sir don’t know the actual facts of the case, you also don’t know the defendant or the victim, and to presume that you know that the kid was murdered just by the information that you have gotten from the MSM is in every way very preemptive on your part. I am also horrified by the occurence but I don’t have enough verified facts to say if Trayvon was a thug or not, and nor do I have enough information to say that Zimmerman is a murderer and neither do you if you aren’t blinded by your rage at a perceived wrong. I am sorry Pastor but I don’t believe that you are supposed to judge lest ye be judged. If the guy is guilty I am sure that the facts will all come out, if he is not guilty and it is proven that Trayvon was the aggressor how will you address your congregation? I am not trying to demean you in any way but rushing to judgement, especially when you are depending on information from the MSM is really not a very good way to go about anything.

      @ Pastor

      To continue this dialog….

      I’m wondering where you saw bias in my original comment to you. Look above your post. Where is any vile or vitriol comment I should have commented on? You suggested bias from me based on your view that the majority are white posters on this site. You can look at the numerous articles The Blaze has posted on this case and you will find precious few, if any, comments from me on this story. Until about a week ago, I was too busy to actually follow the story. After hearing all of the talk about it, I started trying to figure out what it was about. That’s the truth…yet you projected bias onto me without any evidence from my very own words. Just sayin’.

      Also, times did change in this country since the horrible times of you experienced in you youth. Many people, including whites, voted for Obama which is how he was elected in 2008. I didn’t because I saw his liberal, Alinsky-style (who was white) ways from the beginning. The divisiveness in this country rests solely on the back of Obama and the progressive elitists. Even before this tragic event occurred, Obama punted on numerous opportunities to unify all races in this country. Not once has he genuinely attempted to bring this country together. Rather, he takes every opportunity to divide us. The phrase “United we stand, divided we fall” comes to mind. Obama is intentionally advancing the racial tensions you remember from your childhood.

      Exactly!
      The video was made after he was treated by paramedics.

      I agree with you KC. There is no way to tell from this video that is grainy and taken hours after the confrontation, how badly Zimmerman was hurt. Also, if someone attacks you from behind, you don’t really care ow many times they hit you or stop to question their age before you shoot them dead.

      And as for the media making a big deal of their supposed 60 pound weight difference… I’ve seen some lightweights that could put a hurt on anyone no matter their size. Personally, I was ~ 220 in high school and squatting 400+. I knew a rail thin wrestler who could lift as much or more than me and he probably only weighed ~150. So the weight difference is of no concern in the real world. The real world is not a boxing match. If that were the case, then a lone wolf or coyote would be of no concern to a human because they generally only weigh ~ 80 pounds, maybe up to 150 in the North. That is well under the 200 pound weight of an average man. Anyone citing their weight class as a reason to lock up Zimmerman is a complete moron and waste of human life.

      Having grown up in a neighborhood that was predominently white, but by the end of my childhood it was predominently white I can tell you that bias is what EVERYBODY does. Birds of a feather flock together. It is an old saying , but it is true. What you are seeing swirling around the corpse of Trayvon Martin is chaos and revolution, just like Rodney King. We will see if Black folks will burn the cities down again. “Instead, Denny was rescued by an unarmed, African American civilian named Bobby Green Jr. who, seeing the assault live on television, rushed to the scene and drove Denny to the hospital using the victim’s own truck,” This quote supports the proper attitude of Mr Green in April of 1992, toward Reginald Denny. I would pick up any man from the street whether he be from my flock or not? Why can’t you? People want money, power and now they burn in thier passions? Is this how Jesus walked. Keep your lamps trimmed and burnin people. What color was Jesus on the cross? He was blood red.

      LUMBAR SPINE, as usual that is mighty dumb@$$ of you. I for one am not calling this incident either way. At the first part of this I believed that Zimmerman was the antagonist of the situation until more and more information came out. Naturally, I still cannot say for certain, and still insist that all wait until the investigations are complete. As a former cop I can say this though. Now it is obvious from these pics that Zimmerman was actually arrested and taken to the police station. I always carried a military first aid kit with me and stocked with plenty of 4X4s for good reason. Those are gauze pads. Before putting somebody in my vehicle who is bleeding and has refused medical attention at the time, I have either cleaned them up or allowed them to clean themselves up prior to entering my vehicle. That vehicle is any cops second home virtually and he or she wants to keep it clean rather than have to clean it out later. And for the last couple of decades nobody wants blood to touch anything. Everybody with whom I worked felt the same way. Many of these subjects often relented later and asked for medical attention. Too many of them are pumped up with adrenalin that they feel as if they are okay. Once they calm down the story often changes. Do I know if this is what actually happened? No, I don’t, but neither does anybody else here. I still say to keep an open mind and watch for more release of information and for the results of the final investigation.

      The media are SCRAMBLING to find something to back up the scenario they put forth. Once the story about Trayvon Martin being, say, less than angelic, surfaced they’re panicked.

      The headline ABC used for this video is “George Zimmerman not injured” or something like that. So, you post a grainy, inconclusive video with a leading headline. People will see what they want to see.

      Never mind, of course, the two eyewitnesses who saw Martin beating Zimmerman, or the police report.

      It’s obvious that Zimmerman would have been treated by EMS on scene. They would have cleaned his wounds, and from the cop looking at the back of his head it’s evident there was a wound.

      The media are pushing this into a level of coverage which is unnecessary. Race riots are inevitable.

      I have to agree that the video doesn’t lean the evidence one way or another. What it does is add more uncertainty to an already volatile situation. The facts of the case are they will have affidavits of the officers on the scene, the witnesses on the scene, the emt’s on the scene. They will have high-res photographs in the dozens, if not hundreds, of the scene, Trayvon’s body, Zimmerman’s head, face, hands, etc. There will be forensics, ballistics, you name it. All of this will be bundled up with a final report and placed on the DA’s desk or before a grand jury or both for “them” to decide whether to prosecute Mr. Zimmerman. It is not the media‘s place to provide evidence for the mass audience to decide this man’s fate before he even gets close to a court room. They are intentionally or not, fanning vigilantism.

      I do not envy the law enforcement, the DA, nor the court system’s job piecing all the facts together in this case. With all the damage the media is doing in this place, the courts will be very hard pressed to fill a jury with “unbiased” peers if this goes to trial.

      My personal opinion is it looks fishy from both sides of the event. Zimmerman should have listened to 911 dispatch and not followed Trayvon. Trayvon was not as innocent as his family would have you believe with his H.S. suspension and “possible” drug and stolen good possession that I have seen in the news reports. I pray the truth can be found.

      @Bush Hating Conervatives make me sick… so you’re saying that following someone is stalking them, and gives someone the right to jump on them and beat them? Really? Trayvon absolutely had the right to confront someone he thought was following him, but he in no way had the right to attack someone walking in the same direction. Further, by all accounts, Zimmerman continued to follow Martin because he was walking between houses, not in the road or on the sidewalk. Once Zimmerman came out on the road, he then stopped following Martin, instead walking back toward his vehicle. It was then that Martin came up behind Zimmerman and attacked him.

      It was also reported Martin was looking into windows of homes as he walked through their yards (again, not on the sidewalk, but trespassed on their properties.) That is certainly suspicious behavior and the neighborhood watch is told to look out for such behavior.

      If you honestly feel that following a person gives them the right to jump you, break your nose, and pound your head on the sidewalk, Lord help us all.

      Another point here is that we have only heard from the race baiters and our propaganda media that Zimmerman continued to follow Martin once the 911 operators were contacted. I have not read nor heard any verified statements regarding that to be the fact. But, any neighborhood watch personnel certainly would try to keep somebody wondering through private property lawns in sight so as to tell soon to arrive police where the suspect is. This also gains intel as to be able to describe the individual. In this day and age of cell phones I just wonder how many times an observant neighbor has gone out and closely watched a potential perp while on his/her cell phone with a 911 operator. Furthermore, not certain of every area in the nation, but I suspect that in a small city like Sanford, the 911 operators are NOT policemen and do not carry the authority to ORDER a citizen not to do something like follow a suspect. The operators statement was “we do not need you to do that.” Naturally, some people will back off, while others will not. Neither are wrong, but it is the operators attempt to warn the caller to stay safe.

      If Zimmerman‘s last name was Gonzalez this wouldn’t even be a story and he wouldn’t be “white-Hispanic”.

      If he just won a Noble Prize in physics the media would be calling him Hispanic. Just like Obama is African-American when he’s more Irish than black.

      I knew when the media were first calling a man that obviously looked Hispanic white what they were trying to do, start a riot.

      This whole case is the epitome of what both concealed carry and the stand your ground laws are all about. If you’re attacked you have the right to defend yourself.

      If a 6′3″ guy is on top of you beating your head on concrete you have the right to shoot them to protect yourself. Especially after you shout for help and none is coming. End of story.

      ABC, of course, makes this video out to be the “smoking gun” and definitive proof that that Zimmerman and the police are lying about his injuries. It’s always a conspiracy against blacks–always.

      What I also find appalling is the over the top media coverage of an event like this, but nada when the violence is black-on-pick another color. Events only get coverage when it fits the narrative. Last month a white kid was set on fire, yes set on fire by black youths and that got no national coverage—wrong message.

      Our post-racial president, with the help of his propaganda machine, and race-baiting leaders in the black community have set back race relations in this country 60 years.

      This is all agenda driven. The Progressive left want and need this to be a summer of violence, and the self-serving purveyors of racial divide like Jackson, and Sharpton make their living off racial strife–it is literally their justification for existence
      .
      This is literally the 60’s all over again–people wanting to create race wars and wars between the haves (1%-ers) and the have not’s (99%-ers). It didn’t work in the 60’s, because the people in power we not radicals, but things are different now. The radicals that tried to ferment violence in the 60’s are now in power. The people in the streets are not radicals, they are just necessary idiots.

      Assuming someone is innocent until proven guilty is not being racist, it’s being American. Deciding that he’s guilty without knowing all the facts (as you seem to be doing) is wrong and could well be racially motivated.

      The sad truth is that it’s people like Al Sharpton and the black panthers that are behaving in a bigoted way here. It’s unwise to make any conclusions about guilt or innocence without knowing all the facts and yet Sharpton and others have already declared Zimmerman to be a racist guilty of murder. And the MSM isn’t calling them out on it….

      Zimmerman, had the opportunity to hold this kid at bay (with a big gun) until police arrived. If I had to call it, I’d say he was on a mission to kill. Preferably, a black man. That aside, the black community has once again demonstrated the rules don’t apply to them. This was made very clear, after the OJ Simpson verdict, the LA riots, and dozens of incidents in which they blatantly ignore gang wars, killings and invasions upon innocent citizens. Where are the mouthpieces Jackson, Sharpton, Farrakhan and others, when a mob of teens swooped on a Walgreens in Miami? While we focus on these isolated incidents, there is a proliferation of gangsters from every ethnic group on the planet infiltrating our communities, and there is NO coverage of the havoc they are visiting on our way of life. No protests, no outrage and no results. These vermin, have all but taken control of our prisons as well. The police are virtually under siege in all major cities. We need a nationwide neighborhood watch, a stern immigration policy, a death penalty policy based on absolute and irrefutable evidence (with no appeals for the most egregious offenders), and individuals dedicated to genuine justice vs the convoluted trash in place now. Moreover, we need weapons of comparable devastation, the will to use them when engaged and the wisdom to know our enemies. If not, it‘s a given we will become a police state or Mexico’s new frontier.

      Yes, and besides that….which is the main reason…..is that this fits leftist causes to try to twist this into a white on helpless black confrontation.

      CNN didn’t say so, but the EMT’s had already tended to Zimmerman. Of course, they would have cleaned him up.

      Are THREE witnesses who saw the black perp pummeling Zimmerman lying? The black hate-mongers and racists will latch on to anything to try to justify their rabid hatred.

      The police have said the victim was bleeding and “probably” had a broken nose. Neither would be visible in an unclear video after cleaning off the blood.

      If we believe these black racists, everybody was in a cover-up: The police and the three witnesses.

      For people who believe the N.O. levees were blown up by whites to kill off the blacks there, and that aids and drugs were introduced into black neighborhoods to do the same, and that history is replete with brilliant black accomplishments, but were ALL covered up by whites, and that O.J. was framed, it isn’t hard to understand that a huge portion of the black population love to hate and will grasp at any flimsy lies in order to support that hate.

      And the most serious part of this entire incident is that it is based on pure, unadultered hate. Most blacks understand this was probably self defense, but they love to hate.

      There’s no remedy but separation of the races.

      George Zimmerman’s father was interviewed via a video and said that his son told him that he attentin was first drawn to the black perp when he saw him in the rain between dwellings and NOT on the street.

      To me this is more evidence to consider with the discovery of a burglar tool in his pack and women’s jewelry.

      If it turns out to be true, this perp was casing residences just as I suspected in the beginning.

      This is the LaCrosse case and the Jena incident all over again. Blacks are calling for the head of a non-black simply because they hate anyone who isn’t black.

      It is impossible to appease blacks. This sort of thing will continue until this society implodes. The only answer is peaceful separation.

      Photoshop users will love the photograph above, which says it was “enhanced to bring out additional detail.” That’s correct in a sense. “Details” are brought out that don’t actually exist in the screen capture. The photo is over-magnified, over-sharpened and the contrast increased to the point where the cop looks like he has a mohawk. Are the black and white halos around the people real? Does the floor actually have purple and green stripes? This isn’t an enhancement of the photo, it’s degraded to the point where all sorts of artificial things appear that are only artifacts of photoshop treatment.

      @GOLDMIND

      That would be all nice and good but in TN, which I’m assuming would be similar laws in FL, you are not allowed to draw your weapon until you know there’s imminent danger. Until it comes out completely, I believe Zimmerman, who was trying to do the right thing, had his weapon holstered.

      I have a carry permit, I am not allowed to even TOUCH my gun unless I plan on pulling it out and shooting it. I can’t even lay my hands on it to persuade someone to back off as that act itself is considered aggravated assault (from what I was told) which is why I believe Zimmerman had his weapon holstered.

      The scenario I see in my head is this: He confronted Martin as to why he was lurking around his neighborhood. Typical tough guy act came out, which is not just isolated to blacks, but teenagers these days think they can take on anyone. He probably attacked Zimmerman thinking he could just punk him around. But that that point, if we’re wrestling around on the ground and I have a gun that he can take from me and use it against me, it’s me or him.

      Otherwise, why would Martin be stupid enough to attack someone he knows has a gun? He wouldn’t. He‘d pissed his pants because he wasn’t as thug as he believed himself to be. Again, this isn’t an observation against black teenagers but teenagers in general. He tussled with the wrong man that night since he happened to have a gun.

      But we’ll find out eventually once this goes to trial

      the only facts in this story, is that a 28 year old armed man man, shot an unarmed 17 year old. it doesn‘t really matter if he’s black or white, or whatever. he followed a kid around, despite the cops telling him not to, and then murdered a kid, so it will be jail for him. Zimmerman was arrested in 2005 for resisting arrest with violence and battery on a police officer. He also had a restraining order put on him. He’s ALSO a registered democrat, so I have NO idea why you are defending this dirtball.

      @GTCOGIC: First, I wish to express that I’m terribly sorry for your loss. I would imagine that might impair your objectivity in this and other such cases, though. Regarding Sharpton, I’m still waiting to hear an apology for the Tawana Brawley hoax, and from anyone at all on the left for rushing to judgement over the Duke Lacrosse “rape” case by white men against a black woman. As it turns out, it was all completely fabricated by the deeply disturbed woman, and she gets to skate free while the white guys’ lives are at worse ruined and at best tainted forever. What about the Black Panthers intimidating voters here in Philadelphia? Obama’s DOJ refuses to investigate or prosecute black-on-white voter intimidation, or any other such crimes for that matter. So I must respectfully disagree with your assessment of things, namely, that only white people are afforded presumption of innocence. If anything, the media are constantly on the lookout for stories in which they can crucify the white guy, but almost never report black-on-black crime which is at epidemic levels in our country right now. One would think that the Sharptons and Jacksons of the world would be fervently spending most of their time, energy and vast resources on addressing that particular problem, but we never hear them talk about it because they can’t make money off it.

      Clive, you are citing distorted facts – Zimmerman did not know Trayvon was 17 years old or that he was unarmed so they are irrelevant to Zimmerman’s mindset. Second, 911 dispatchers are not typically policemen and the wording was ‘we don’t need you to do that’. Following someone is not a crime – the dispatcher was more than likely concerned about Zimmerman putting himself in danger. You cite Zimmerman’s past but not Trayvon’s – both are relevant. Why did Trayvon’s father not report him missing until the next day if his son was only going out for candy? Trayvon’s mother sent him to his father because of behavioral difficulties at school – he had jewelry and a screwdriver in his backpack along with drug residue in a baggy among other problems at school. It is also not known who approached who – Zimmerman stated he was headed back to his truck then he was approached by Trayvon. Trayvon’s girlfriends first statement appeared to support that but she has since changed her story. If Trayvon was scared like his girlfriend claimed, why didn’t he call 911 – why didn’t she when the phone went dead? These are question the investigation will need to answer. Zimmerman and Trayvon both made mistakes that night – the question is did Zimmerman truly fear for his life when he shot and was that fear reasonable. Him being a democrat has nothing to do with this event, not sure why you think it has any bearing on the case.

      Zimmerman didn’t know he was unarmed… but he certainly didn’t know he WAS armed. You can’t assume someone is armed and then use lethal force. You must match force with equal force. If you are the first to pull a weapon then you are the one who has escalated it to lethal force. That is what Zimmerman did.

What, do you just sit and watch the opening to Gun Smoke daily and think that is the way it is done. Your grasp of armed and likely unarmed combat has to only be Hollywood based. First, if a person feels endangered he should at the very least brandish his weapon or at least draw but keep it out of sight while he determines what may happen next. In law enforcement the weapon comes out first then we question the person. Have done this on way too many suspicious incidents, and from what was found afterwards I wouldn’t be here to type this had I not. The law of action vs reaction basically is that the person who has acted first and has a weapon drawn and at the ready can beat the other person who can only react to the situation. Person one merely aims and pulls the trigger while person 2 must draw, aim, and then can fire. Split seconds count. Dumb@$$, Hollywood makes entertainment, just don’t continue to believe their BS.

That means he and the police lied. Why should I believe anything else he said? I don’t know what media reports you were reading this week but it was demonize Trayvon Martin week in the media until the police video surfaced. Then Zimmerman‘s father gives his version of events when he wasn’t even there. The video shows him to be a liar too. He said Zimmerman was beaten in the face and his head was repeatedly slammed on the ground. The cut that might be on his head in the video wasn’t even bad enough to need a bandage. I guess Trayvon must have grabbed him by the hair and kept slamming his head on the ground. Oh wait. Zimmerman doesn’t have any hair to grab.

      Do you have some special ability that allows you to see detail in low resolution video? Do you have some clairvoyance that allows you to know what he looked like immediately after the incident? Or, are you only seeing what you want to see?

      At the least, you can clearly see that his right eye is bruised and there is a gash in the back of his head.

      “The cut that might be on his head in the video wasn’t even bad enough to need a bandage.”

      “I guess Trayvon must have grabbed him by the hair and kept slamming his head on the ground.”

Did that stop because Obama saw his manufactured outrage and charge that Republicans want to take away women’s birth control was hurting him in the polls? -AND- Are we to believe now that this new outrage over the Treyvon Martin tragedy is really making people of color so angry as it’s being portrayed, or is this another trumped up mess, with President Obama as the head agitator? I believe it is being trumped up by Obama and his cohorts in Hollywood and the media because this is the template that is being set for the charges of racism to start flying when Obama loses his relection bid this November. Is anyone else getting tired of listening to endless conversation about this on FOX and Hannity’s radio program?

      @ GTCOGIC, I am truly sorry that you lost your son.
      Let me tell you my own story. My innocent teenaged daughter was lured into a van by a “friend” whom she thought she could trust for a ride home from a party one night. Inside the van were several guys, all black. She was beaten, stripped of her clothes and raped repeatedly by every one of them. Finally, after several hours they dumped her out on the road, naked, and left her for dead. Fortunately she survived. If I shared your logic, I would have to conclude that it is totally ok for me to hate all blacks, as they are all the same evil people, but I don’t. I know that color is only skin deep. Don’t forget that Jesus condemns “he that hateth his brother without cause”. If you really are a pastor I’m sure you know what verse it is.

      I was an EMT for a number of years during and after college, and when dealing with felony assault, the police always wanted photos of the victim *before* we treated them and cleaned them up, because it was essential evidence for the trial. Since any such photo is critical evidence, it will not be released until after the jury sees it…but having seen nearly 200 felony assaults, I would bet that when we see the on-scene photos (and probably a statement from the medic who treated Zimmerman) we will learn that he was bloodied and bruised when they arrived. It will be a solid case of justified homicide, and all charges will be dismissed.

      On the other hand, if the on-scene evidence does not support his statements, then the affirmative defense will be very difficult to establish, and Mr. Z will probably end up being convicted of something, or being offered a plea to “a lesser included offense”.

      Either way, the social outrage which the inappropriate release of information has stirred will not soon go away, regardless of the outcome of the case – if he is exonerated, the black radicals will riot. If he is convicted, then you should probably anticipate some “bubba effect” down the road…

      The Moronic Speculative Media has certainly created a Loose-Loose proposition for our country out of this unfortunate occurrence… but not one of them has yet opined what the *real reason* is that we, as a nation, are tearing ourselves apart. I guess they’re so smart, they alread

      “What possible purpose could they have of airing this useless video?”

      If it is true that the very part that shows Zimmerman’s head wound was purposely edited out… there is the purpose. It would have been very useful had they succeeded at pulling the wool over the sheep’s eyes, but fortunately, there are too many that are too sharp to fall for it and instead exposed their purpose. It is the same purpose for photo shopping Martin’s pic to make him appear lighter, softer… same purpose for releasing out-dated Martin pic to make him appear, small, sweet and innocent… same purpose for releasing Zimmerman’s stern-faced mug shot in orange jail-wear to make him appear like a coldhearted criminal… same purpose for MSM manipulation of the 911 audio to mislead the public into believing Zimmerman is a bloodthirsty racist… when in fact, he was simply answering 911 dispatcher’s question about the race of the suspicious character that was out for a stroll at 3am, walking in the rain, sipping an ice tea while looking in the windows in a gated community.

      That GC had already been the victims of numerous burglars…they watched all the burglars get away with their prized possessions and without any accountability… and so, it is easy to understand how Zimmerman was not completely willing to trust that the police would get there in time and actually do anything about it… so, he kept an eye on him until the police could get there… this is not stalking… this is

      Did you miss the little innocent until proven guilty thing? What actual proof do you have that the guy is guilty? I am sick to death of all you self appointed prosecutors convicting someone of a crime by news that you gathered from a ratings driven media that thought they had a white\black racial incident that they could parlay into ratings. I am outraged by the incident that could have been avoided in several different ways. 1. Zimmerman stops pursuit immediately after calling 911. 2. Trayvon continues along his merry way with his skittles and iced tea and goes immediately into his fathers house. Just a couple there to prove a point. You have as many facts as anyone else, so what makes you think that your opinion or judgement is any better than anyone elses? I am just saying to stop all the prosecutorial chatter until we actually know the TRUE facts of the case. You are also wrong on a couple of points there were witnesses that heard the incident and apparently there was a witness who saw Trayvon on top of Zimmerman. The police have all this information and I am sure are tirelessly working to uncover more, in the meantime why don’t you just let them do their job and quit playing law and order home version?

The child was in the morgue for THREE WHOLE DAYS without being identyfied, even though they had his cel phone. They did not contact witnesses until AFTER the outrage. You want to compare crimes, then make sure you be fair. I am sure that if police were not trying to find the shooters there would be outrage.

You have the internet, educate yourself. The cops in Fla knew who Zimmerman was, gathered facts from witness’ and acted upon that. My point is the so called ‘outrage’ in the Zimmerman case is fake/politcially motivated and is liable to get people killed.

They are pulling at straws here. They’re trying to remain credible in the public eyes (LOL), while dismissing all their previous false and premature assumptions.

      The body was in the morgue for three days because his parents didn’t come looking for him until three days later. The police report says that they interviewed ALL witnesses present and available. These other “witnesses” you mention are a fabrication, as they weren’t there when it when down. The police handcuffed Zimmerman, took his gun away, took him to the station, interviewed him, took all witness accounts, gathered any evidence available, and were able to corroborate Zimmerman’s story with the evidence and accounts present. They had no evidence or probable cause to arrest him.

Where did his parents think he was if he was just going out for some skittles and ice tea. Why did it take until the next day (or three according to you) before someone went to the police? His girlfriend’s changing testimony bothers me as well – if the phone went dead after hearing a creepy guy was following Trayvon and accosted him – where is her 911 call to the police?

For some reason, the state prosecutor had already gotten involved (which is said to be unusual) and he instructed the police that night to release Zimmerman. Serio believed it was wrong and signed an affidavit. The police chief (Lee?) erroneously stated that the police released Zimmerman because they determined there was insufficient evidence…specifically failing to mention it was the state prosecutor who had ordered Zimmerman released. The prosecutor has now recused himself and the police chief stepped down.

Based on him being handcuffed, he was in custody and would not have had the option to refuse treatment. Even in the case of slight head injuries while in police custody, a Physician has to clear it. It is protocol. Otherwise its a lawsuit waiting to happen. I am not making a statement on the case in anyway, but from someone who worked 1000s of night neuro ER rotations (those damn student loans!)

      Zimmerman allegedly went to see a medical professional the following day. Granted, this comment came from a lawyer, so it’s suspect. Any records of a visit either exist or they don’t. I know if I was part of Team Zimmerman, I’d be trumpeting any such information on high. Any reputable defense team should have anticipated a challenge that could be countered with notation on Zimmerman’s alleged visit.
      Police reports also tend to have sections that prompt law enforcement to note injuries. That tends to help when liability claims are made against them. “Hey, that guy’s head was like that when we arrived… not our doing.” Anyone have access to a report? This is honestly the first night I‘ve paid much attention to his matter beyond Geraldo’s lame attempt at “Hoody-gate.”
      Doc, you‘d know better than me about your state’s protocol. I wish my wife was home. She works in an ER as an RN. She deals with folks in the custody of law enforcment quite often. The wife could share her experiences on such patients.
      Hopefully, this matter will be resolved with as much fact and consideration as possible and as would be assumed under the law.

      Gooch, I’m in the healthcare field, but not as a doctor. I’m a nurse though, and I will say this after seeing many, many people over and over with the same type of traumatic injuries, as well as illnesses all I can say for sure is that no two bodies will react the same way to the same type of TI (traumatic injury). There is absolutely NO WAY to tell one way or the other just by watching this video what are the extent of the guy’s injuries.
      On another note, I have read accounts of experiments, as well as respected opinions by people who know a lot about the subject (like attorneys and policemen) that if you have 5 or 10 different eyewitnesses to an event you will get 5 or 10 different accounts of it. No one is infallible, especially when you are in the middle of being attacked.
      I haven’t made an opinion either way, but I do resent that someone would try and manipulate the public into convicting either party before it’s even gone to trial.
      While I do feel very sorry for the Martin family, I don’t think rushing to judgement on this matter serves justice at all, and if we’re not careful we will be in the middle of a full on race war.

Now if Mr Zimmerman had been knocked unconcious, I could certainly see your point, as he would have been unable to refuse treatment at that point, and EMTs, as well as the police would have been derelict in their duties not to have taken him there. Otherwise if he were alert and able to refuse treatment there is no such law as to say he should be compelled to go against his rule. You as a doctor, ought to know that.

The quality is so poor that anyone can say that they see things or they don’t. I saw what you did on his nose, but with the quality it is hard to say for certain it is a bandage or is it an artifact on the digital recording.

And both media have crucified the other side, yet you all are siding with the killer. Even after this video dispels his claims. Even when the phone records from Trayvon to his friend dispels his claims. Even when the 13 year old witness says he saw ONE person on the ground screaming. Why would Zimmerman be on the ground screaming if no one was hitting him. But I can see a Trayvon on the ground screaming because someone was pointing a gun at him.

      Second, maybe you haven’t heard the news yet, but the girl that he was on the phone with has already changed her story at least once.
      Third, it wasn’t Treyvon on the ground, it was Zimmerman, with Treyvon on top hitting him in the face and head repeatedly, how do you think Zimmerman got that wound on the back of his head? Duh.
      Finally, your little bit of advice to “think with your heart” is just dumb. Not only that, it’s dangerous. I don’t know about you, but if I ever get killed and I have a detective investigating the case I would not want them to “think with their heart”, I’d want them to think with their BRAIN, that‘s what it’s for.
      By the way, your little platitude to “think as if they were both white” shows how stupid and out of touch you really are.

      @ SDARBRO, most people are not proclaiming their belief that Zimmerman is innocent. Most posters on here are just saying that there is enough evidence to rule out a rush to judgement, and a need for further examination of the facts.

    I’ll be willing to bet most of you will still give this murderer excuses. This man obviously lied on this teen. There is no way in the world, you can be beat the way he stated, having his head slammed repeatedly on the ground, punched so hard that his nose broke and bled, head busted in the back, yet have absolutely no traces of any of it. No blood on his shirt, mind you he has a light colored shirt on. No limping or walking as if you were just beaten down. And there was no sign of anything on the back of his head. If he were bleeding from the back of his head, you would have seen some type of stain (wet) on the back of his jacket.

    Rememer, this guy said he thought he was going to be killed, so that would have meant that he was beaten really badly. And as far as the cop whiping his hand, he definitely would not have whiped BLOOD on his clothes. And if he had blood on his clothes, it would not still be wet, blood dries up, it does not stay wet. There was no blood from this man. If those clothes or the jacket had any blood, it was Trayvon’s. But I will wait to see what you all have to say about this new VERY VITAL evidence.

    The Blaze is no different from the fringe media when it comes to this story. But, why should we be surprised? The big boss, Beck, says he “thinks Zimmerman is probably guilty”. What!?!?

      You really give yourself away on so many levels. I am a Christian too and I want to ask you a few questions:

      1. Why do you liberals see a racist behind every corner? Why can’t we just say, we want justice to be served. Why must you assume that a latino man with many black friends and neighbors is a racist? And you say we are all “hoping and praying that an obvious racist killer goes free”…Please STOP assuming you know whats in our minds…that is exactly what gets you liberals in trouble in the first place. You are making many assumptions there lady. How can you know what was in Georges mind that night? How do you know what any person is thinking? You don’t. ANY violent crime is a hate crime and doesn’t need to be labeled as such. What about a black person killing a white person? Would that be hate too? Why not? You don’t think blacks are capable of hating whites?

      2. Why do you assume everybody has to “hate” someone? And why do you say Zimmerman is an “Obvious racist killer”? WHY? WHY do you assume that, when all his friends and activities say otherwise? There isn’t a person on this board who wants a proven outright murderer to go free! I would venture to say NOBODY on here. So please take your “obvious racist hate elsewhere” and stop playing games.

      Allegiance – the ONLY reason this has anything to do with race is because that is what the mainstream media & racebaiter narrative is all about. Should you not be more disturbed to know that had Trayvon been killed by another black man it wouldn’t have made it beyond local news? What should this tell any rational, thinking person? THAT ALL THESE BASTARDS CARE ABOUT IS TURNING THIS INTO A RACE ISSUE. Where were you, Allegiance, when a 13 year old white boy was set on fire on his own front porch by a group of black boys shouting “You gonna get what you deserve, WHITE BOY!”? It never made news beyond local affiliates. Guess Al & Jesse weren’t available for comment on that one either? Are they ever available for comment when crime is black-on-white or black-on-black? Nope. One would think they’d be concerned about the little 6 year old girl shot dead on her own front porch by black gang bangers…. or be concerned with the rampant black-on-black crime in so many black communities. Naw. They just like to whip out the race card & tell everyone that the white devil is trying kill all the blacks. The fact that the number of young black men killed every day by other young black men is exponentially higher than those killed by white (or “white hispanic”) men is an inconvenient truth that doesn’t fit into their racebaiting narrative.

      Everyone should be outraged by these facts. What the NBPP & BLM are doing is no different than lynch mobs from our past.

I just checked and they have registered everything that has to do with Trayvon such as Trayvon,com – Trayvon Martin.com – justice for Trayvon and much much more. Of course it’s probably just that dear Al Sharpton is looking out for the Martin family. However I am starting to wonder about this sweet little boy since his parents were role models, and they seem to approve of his name being used to instigate the violence that is sure to come. Personally I believe George is innocent, or should be considered so until PROVEN guilty!

      @ KEGBUNA, if gun sales did in fact “explode” (and I’m not sure I believe that either, btw) but if they did, it’s probably because people knew what kind of trouble we would be in for.
      We have an ultra-liberal secretary of state who wants us in a small arms treaty with that bullwark of freedom and democracy, the UN, a joke of an attorney general who looks the other way when blacks target whites in violent crimes, and doesn’t deny it, and a POTUS who is caught on microphone telling the Russkies not to worry, he‘ll get busy disarming America wholesale after he’s re-elected, that’s all. Can’t imagine why imagine why that would make people want to arm themselves.
      Add to that, Holder has been recorded on video saying people need to be brainwashed against guns.
      Furthermore, if there really was a huge increase in people buying guns, how do you know that everyone buying them is white? I didn’t know that gun shops were required to report the races of all gun buyers.
      If you want to persuade others to your point of view, try using logic, not assumptions.
      @ Allegiance, there you go again, ranting, calling people “liars”. So now, you know for sure there were no medics on the scene? No, what we know is fact vs fiction, is that Zimmerman refused a trip to the hospital, not that he refused treatment by medics at the scene.

      Well, he does have the whip marks on his back, and the clamp marks on his nipples. He may have been beaten, but maybe not by a 17 year old.

      I have broke my nose at least 5 times in my life and have never had any bruises/black eyes before the first 12-24 hours. Besides he is Hispanic with a dark complexion so it is harder to see bruises. This poor video does nothing as far as proof.
