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

Posted on 07/07/2013 7:23:28 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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.....

Probably the same reason I don't fight fitter, taller men on drugs who are more than a decade younger than I am if I can help it. And I always want my legal analysis from such a famed attorney....

I wished someone would use MMA on your sorry little ass you race baiter.

I wonder if Big Al finds it hard to breathe with his head up his @$$ all the time.

Who really gives a $hit what that low life Sharpton thinks? Oh, we know who does but I’m referring to people that don’t care about color and can think. Sharpton is a joke and I personally could care less about anything he has to say.

I hope this race hustler has new batteries for his bullhorn, I have a feeling he is going to need them.

How much training did Zman have? It takes years of training to become proficient in the martial arts. A few months of training are meaningless.

Zimmerman did not use his recent training in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)

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

I think the bigger mystery here is why one of the most decorated cops in NYPD history - Bernard Kerik - went to jail for 4 years for misrepresenting his taxes - oh and *gasp* hiring an illegal as a maid - when racial terrorist and professional tax evader Al Sharpton is still walking around scot free.

Hey Sharpton, if you weren’t such a pitiful blatant racist, would you still be supporting Martin?

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

Not true, Mr. Sharpton (fake minister for tax exempt purposes only).

I can ‘rain down blows’ on concrete walls, and there is no damage or physical evidence of it at all.

Besides that, grabbing someone by the ears and slamming their head on the sidewalk won’t produce any injuries to the ‘fists’ either.

Reverend Al, did it ever cross your mind that Zimmerman was “cold-cocked” by Trayvon Martin? And that Martin was actually a much more experienced fighter?

Maybe Sham-ton can respond to the following:

In the two months following Trayvon Martin’s death, black assailants carried out at least 14 fourteen known attacks against white victims with the idea of “avenging” the fallen youth.

In East Toledo, six juveniles beat a 78-year-old white man, shouting: “This is for Trayvon … Trayvon lives, white [man]. Kill that white [man]!”

In Gainesville, five blacks shouting “Trayvon!” beat a 27-year-old white man, leaving his face permanently disfigured. In another Gainesville incident, a black crowd shouting “Trayvon!” assaulted and stomped on a white man who was trying to recover his female companion’s purse from the hands of a black thief.

In Chicago, two black teenagers beat and robbed a 19-year-old white man because, as one of the attackers explained, they were angry about Trayvon Martin.

In Baltimore, a group of blacks beat and robbed a white man, stripping him naked, then posted a video of the assault online with the caption: “me an my boys helped get justice fore trayvon.”

In Mobile, a white man named Matthew Owens was brutalized by twenty African Americans armed with brass knuckles, bricks, chairs, bats and steel pipes after he asked them to stop playing basketball in the street directly in front of his home. As the assailants left the scene, one of them looked back at the victim, who was bleeding profusely, and shouted,: “Now that’s justice for Trayvon!”

It is unlikely that many Americans have heard of these racial attacks, because the perpetrators are protected by a media that does not want to notice that the racists are black, and their victims are white.

NONE of the above were covered by the New York Times or on NBC News.

Even being an expert MMA fighter, which probably takes a good ten years of hard training and talent, is not going to make somebody invincible.

Anybody who gets the drop on another individual is going to have a decided advantage and Zimmerman would have probably had little more than a passing interest in the sport.

Sharpton is a simple-minded, white-hating cretin who couldn’t possibly grasp the concept of disparity of force. I’m sure this point was covered in GZ’s CHL training.

Because this wasn’t an MMA fight in a cage with a referee. This was a street fight with a thug who might have had a gun on him.

Kevin in California ~:” If Zimmerman Was In An ‘MMA Attack’ With Martin, ‘Why Didn’t He Use His MMA Training?’”

Because training doesn’t mean anything without repetition
It ‘s called muscle memory
... and Al , you weren’t there to egg him on like you did with Twanda Brawley .
How much money did you make there , Al ?
You know about muscle memory right ? like lies , beget lies , which beget lies ,etc., ..ya know ?

Does that involve the sound of wet grass?
