Sharpton: If Zimmerman Was In An ‘MMA Attack’ With Martin, ‘Why Didn’t He Use His MMA Training?’
Mediaite ^ | July 5, 2013 | Noah Rothman

MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton weighed in with his thoughts on the trajectory of the George Zimmerman trial on Wednesday after a medical examiner testified about the nature of the fatal wounds he inflicted on Florida teen, Trayvon Martin, in 2012. Sharpton said that it made little sense to him that Zimmerman did not use his recent training in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) to incapacitate Martin during their struggle and instead used his firearm.

Now host Alex Wagner highlighted a portion of the medical examiner’s testimony who testified that Martin’s right hand was not injured extensively, suggesting he was not “raining blows” down on Zimmerman as previous testimony had indicated.

“If he was raining blows, MMA-style, you think there would be some physical evidence of that on his fists,” Sharpton said.....

It wasn’t MMA training, it was MMA aerobics.

But George might have been hell on wheels if he had been attacked by Richard Simmons. ..

MMA... Boxing... Wrestling... it doesn’t matter, Sharpton is a featherweight anywhere.

It makes as much sense as these reprobates tweeting that if Zimmerman gets acquitted, “Ima riot”, whatever that means.

If that’s a threat to riot upon news of Zimmerman’s acquittal by the jury, they are not helpint their cause by reacting to that news by rioting. It does, however, bolster the arguments of some that they are incapable of anything but base-level thinking.

I hope for their sake they take the opportunity to act as intelligent, reasoned people and keep the violence out of their reaction and prove those who would suggest that running amok is the only thing their minds are capable of, to be wrong.

I’d like to have that POS in a locked/bolted 8’ x 10’ room, for just 3 minutes.

14 probable racially motivated murders by blacks in May,2012 shortly after the media frenzy over the shooting of Trayvon Martin.

And, truth be told, none of the attackers care one iota about Trayvon. They just have such hatred for the whites that they use this as an excuse. Gosh, with all the murders of black on black in Chicago - it makes me wonder who is on Trayvon’s side when they are knocking each other off.

"little get off, get off"

It's a direct quote from Jeantel's testimony. If you don't understand it, don't feel bad. Her testimony is the biggest rabbit hole since Watership Down.

The words “thoughts” and “Sharpton” don’t belong in the same sentence.

This is the guy who thought Trayvon went to the store to buy “Skillets” candy.

In fact, a punch in the nose can make the eyes tear up and make it difficult to see.

Good grief - is Sharpton really that stupid? Never mind, my question was stupid!

This is the same idiot that kept saying skillets instead of skittles.

The purpose of the Zimmerman show trial is to gin up black tribalism, hatred, and passion for voter fraud.

The show trial also allows the MSM to justify their bias against the half of the population that's conservative.It's a horror to have this type of circus in a country once based on decency.

Odd how the MSM misses so much - almost like it’s intentional...

So what do these idiots actually think was happening when (as they say) TM was screaming for help? GZ was mercilessly beating TM’s hands with his face so that his (GZ) hands would be free to slowly reach for his pistol? What were the injuries on TM’s hands like in comparison to his own face? What were the injuries on GZ’s face like compared to his own hands? The prosecution and race profiteer’s story has no substance which can hold it together.

Please, tell me she didn’t actually say that she “heard wet grass.”

If she did, can someome please tell me that she never finished 3rd grade either?

What good is MMA training against against someone armed with a bag of skillets?
