pretty sure dk just assumed more about the case than the rest of us combined, and what a classical dk assumption it is
Oh, so George Zimmerman doesn't have bloodied up pics, and the medical report + the autopsy report did not indicate Zimmerman had lacerations on the back of his head and a broken lip, and Trayvon did not point out Martin had damaged knuckles.
No wait, all of that stuff was admitted as evidence. Maybe your problem is personal - you don't like the fact I specifically am posting an alternative view -, not that what I'm saying isn't an entirely credible explanation. I embellished slightly because the pro-Martin forces seem to believe Zimmerman was stalking Trayvon and then shot him in cold blood, while Trayvon was just innocently minding his own business. The evidence in the trial of Zimmerman's bloodied head and face don't support that theory.
I'm trying to point out how uncharitable you're being by expressing your own behavior, just biased in the other direction.
What I honestly think happened is Zimmerman was just making his rounds as the neighborhood watch, Martin noticed him, confronted him - at some point it got phyiscal, and Martin being the larger, stronger man was easily tossing Zimmerman aside. Zimmerman thought he was going to be seriously harmed or killed, and he shot Martin. Neither are exemplary citizens. But Zimmerman didn't beat his own face in, or lacerate the back of his own skull.

Nothing to do with race when your entire post is about how Martin was a scary " 6'2 athletic black thug with a questionable history". OK
So, 5'11 (corrected) athletic guys with questionable histories aren't scary on dark, rainy nights - in neighborhoods with recent break-ins?
His race is irrelevant, except that it also fit the profile of the break-in suspects. But hey, it's the left that wants to turn this into a race war, by all means insinuate I believe Zimmerman would think Martin is scary because he's black, not because he towers over Zimmerman, is physically superior, and reacted in a hostile and physical manner.

This don't look like a small guy, at least not compared to Zimmerman:

Oh, and I've come across information, apparently I was wrong about Martin being 6'2". My error, but you see it's been insanely difficult to get accurate information on Martin when the media keeps posting pics of him as a 12 year old kid. Turns out he's 5'11. He's still larger and much more athletic than Zimmerman, if not more than the average person per se.
