Seems like the thug was Zimmerman whose lie about being attacked by Martin is breaking down. Just look at the video ABC News obtained of Zimmerman walking into the police station

Does he look like his nose was broken or that there is blood on the back of his head from a beating?

"...ABC News, which obtained the video and released it Wednesday night, said it shows “no blood or bruises” on the handcuffed, trim- and muscular-looking suspect as he steps out of the back of a police cruiser, is frisked by an officer and walks escorted into the police building.

Zimmerman is lying and the truth is slowly coming out

Are you really stupid? He was treated by paramedics at the scene BEFORE being taken to the station. God, people are dumb.

Rooivalk is here for his own entertainment. This is not a good faith poster. Engage for fun, but don’t get any increased blood pressure over the exchange. Practice your flaming on that one!

First of all, he didn’t need authority to exit his vehicle. He is a free citizen. He was on the neighborhood watch and saw someone he didn’t recognize. That someone was NOT walking down the street or on the sidewalk. He was walking BEHIND the townhomes (ie suspicious activity) Second, he did not confront anyone. He followed him.

Recently there was a strange car parked on my street in front of my house with some teenagers sitting in it. I checked out the situation, got the license plate and followed them until they left the neighborhood.

If I had decided to ask them what they were doing that isn’t a confrontation worthy of getting my face punched. It’s only a question.

More attempts to slander this kid and "justify" the cold blooded murder of an innocent person. This BS picture you post is not Martin. However when you look at the police video of Zimmerman right after the shooting his nose DOES NOT looks broken. Nor is there any blood on the back of his head as he first claimed

Zimmerman is a liar and people like you who are so eager to label this kid a "thug" are being played like fools

ABC News, which obtained the video and released it Wednesday night, said it shows “no blood or bruises” on the handcuffed, trim- and muscular-looking suspect as he steps out of the back of a police cruiser, is frisked by an officer and walks escorted into the police building.

“Zimmerman was not a policeman. He had no authority to exit his vehicle and confront ANYBODY. If someone confronted you on a dark and rainy night after following you what would you do? It can be argued that Martin was defending himself after Zimmerman tried to play cop.”

Still repeating the same nonsense? Zimmerman has every right to exit his vehicle. Prove he confronted anyone? Transcripts indicate he lost Martin, and that it was then Martin that first spoke to Zimmerman. It looks likely that Martin confronted Zimmerman as Zimmerman’s statement attests. So much for feeling threatened (btw if Martin felt threatened why didn’t he just call the police?).

I’ve also read ahead to your ABC News troll post. You do realize that it was taped AFTER Zimmerman received medical treatment, and that Zimmerman’s injuries are recorded in the police report?

Go away Rooi. You are an intellectual lightweight repeating things you here on CNN. I’m sure by now everyone here is aware of your trolling.

"More attempts to slander..."

Says the resident FR slanderer.

Still waiting for you to either provide a link that sources your slander against the Sanford PD officers and Mr. Zimmerman alleging that they were "laughing and smoking" after the shooting.

IOW, you have no standing.

A number of idiots keep saying that every single photo of Martin except the really cute nice ones aren’t him.

The photo you posted is obviously Martin.

Does his nose look broken? Do you see any bandages on Zimmerman's face or on the back of his head?

If he was treated as he claims where is the evidence of the treatment?

Your boy Zimmerman's story is falling apart like a cheap suit and poor people like you with so much invested in this "Martin was a thug" story are going ballistic at the thought that Zimmerman could be lying

Open your eyes. You are being played for chumps

Tar baby alert!

Be prepared for; obfuscation, strawmen, deliberate misrepresentation, refusal to address relevant statements and questions and overall deception.

Said “freeper” has accused the Sanford PD and Mr. Zimmerman of “laughing and smoking” after the shooting and has so far refused to either provide proof of his slander or retract it.

I suspect a hidden agenda at play here.

“cold blooded murder” Prove it troll.

The police video does not support Zimmerman's side of the story. Go and study it

First we see that the Sanford police department wanted to file charges of manslaughter against Zimmerman and now we see this police video of Zimmerman apparently healthy and unmarked on the night of the shooting.

Could it be that Zimmerman's father who is a former judge pulled strings to get the charges dropped?

Stay tuned

“going ballistic”

ROFL

Lay off the glue. Your posts are so weak they couldn’t a rise out of me unless they were accompanied by naked photos of Shannon Elizabeth eating an ice cream cone.

Well well well. Lets see how this plays out over the course of this investigation. Any thoughts on this?

"....Much has been made of Sanford Police's handling of the Trayvon Martin shooting and one point that remains glaring is the fact that the shooter, George Zimmerman, was released after a few hours of questioning and not arrested - which has many believing that his father pulled strings to free him.

Your meltdown is sad. Too bad you decided to back this horse that Zimmerman was riding.

Remember: God is not mocked. And the truth ALWAYS comes out in the end.
