It really irked me when those “expert” witnesses would say Zimmerman’s head and nose wounds weren’t bad enough for him to shoot the guy
Too bad there couldn’t have been a live demo of them getting punched in the nose ( and broken) and also their head hitting concrete.....
They would then realize those likely caused 2 instances of temporary
distraction, if not blackout , at the least, and would create enough fear
that the next time they wouldn’t be conscious....
I recall hearing Zimmerman on a tape made by police where he said he thought he was going to lose consciousness so he went for his gun. It appeared he thought the next blow to his head from the concrete was going to put him out.
It bothers me that some have said in the trial, that if he had not gotten out of his car, the black kid would still be alive. Well, if you hadn't left your house, you wouldn't have had that auto accident. If you hadn't gone fishing, you wouldn't have fallen in the lake. If you hadn't gone to that restaurant, you wouldn't have gotten sick on shell fish. If you hadn't turned on your TV or radio, you wouldn't have known the New York City towers had fallen.
If you hadn't walked down the street and tripped, you wouldn't have broken your ankle. If you hadn't dug that hole, you wouldn't have found that pot of gold.
There had been a number of break ins in that community and the perps were black every time and Zimmerman was head of neighborhood watch and there was a black covered by his hoodie walking in the neighborhood.
I profile when it comes to my safety.
