[In Maryland]

Have the toxicology reports come out yet? The reason I ask is that anyone who is in touch with the real world would know that certain drugs make a person agressive, resistant to pain and able to exert much great strength than if they were clean - for instance, in the Rodney King incident, I doubt somewhat that an individual NOT on drugs could have sustained that many tazer hits and kept battling.

I hasten to add there is no evidence thus far that Trayvon was taking drugs - but before we assume that Zimmermann had a strength advantage, we might just want to wait for the toxicology reports. Conversely, if Zimmermann was high on something it could explain why he would "stalk" and "attack" a teenager - which some allege, and which appears to make liittle sense.

That's why, silly me, I like evidence first, judgement after.

“Have the toxicology reports come out yet?”

It would be interesting to see this info, but if the “pro-Zimmerman” narrative is correct, no drug-induced aggression was needed. Adrenaline and landing a heavy sucker punch to the nose provide enough edge to win most fights. The text message Martin had received, “I didn’t know you swung on no bus driver,” indicates prior experience with slugging authority figures he didn’t like. Is there any info on that incident out there? Was the driver hit in the face? (Apologies that this is off topic, but the linked editorial is too mendacious for comment).
