How much time had elapsed between the "beating" and the time of this police video?
Moreso curious than trying to make some kinda proof-lacking point.
It's irrelevant. There's never been a legal requirement for someone to sustain injuries before being able to claim self defense.

Yep.
You take that risk when you attack someone and are on top of them pounding their head into the concrete.
Really?
And here I thought you were a somewhat smart troll.
Hard to tell with 480i video played back on a compressed 360 signal. There was a definite feature on the back of Zimmerman's head, if that was him.
Have a freeze frame of the original tape by chance? What about photo's? Surely the police took some.
Where's the kid's blood then? I never been in a situation of seeing someone shot (thank God) but wouldn't blood be spewed on you when you shoot a guy at such close proximity?
I recall seeing something on the news, that they have confirmed that Martin was shot at "very close range."
Gotdamn it pissed me off so much how the police either botched this or sabotaged this. WHY in the wouldn't they take pictures of Zimmerman's injuries so it can be proven without a doubt that he was in fear for his life?
I agree under normal circunstances. But having a broken nose and getting your head bashed in the pavement are not normal circunstances.
Either Z is a ninja/marine or a damn liar
Depends on where he was shot. Blood wasn't necessarily pumping out, and the hoodie and clothes under that, probably keep all splattering to a minimum.
Maybe you should ask Dexter.
I'll put my money on them taking pictures, but haven't released any to the public.
what makes you sure the Sanford PD didn't? if they did, it would be very improper to publicize them.
With the ty job they've done overall, that's how I came to that conclusion.
It's irrelevant? It's very relevant because their law states that if you feel you are on the verge of death or suffered "GREAT bodily harm" (actual text), that you can use deadly force.
Looking at that video, I just don't see that "GREAT bodily harm". Plus he didn't even need to go to the hospital.
Are you speaking of Zs head?![]()
Doesn't matter. Great bodily harm injuries lasts for days.
I see... The 'all knowing' Creepn has spoken... It must be so...
Isn't it possible that they did a good job, but the press, who often makes up a story, will say anything for a hot story?
Were you there? How do you know they didn't do everything by the book?
Please, enlighten us, oh mighty one.
Who was the asshole on here yesterday, saying that any time the FBI investigates, the person must be guilty? I guess we're gonna need a few ropes for these guys? If they weren't already in custody, maybe we could put up some "Wanted Dead Or Alive" posters?
SENECA, SC - Seneca police said they arrested six men Wednesday in connection with the beating of a North Carolina man at Applebee's earlier in March.
Police said their investigation determined that the victim was beat by the group of men and the incident may have been racially motivated. The department said they forwarded the case to the FBI to determine if it should be pursued further as a hate crime under federal law.
The difference between me and most of you wingnuts is that I think even these guys deserve a trial, and are innocent until proven guilty. Only racist nazis want to string someone up before they have the facts.
Did anyone here see the 60 Minutes ep on eyewitness testimony and how unreliable it is?
No...
No trial...
Let's hang all six of them like we should have with the Jena Six.
This has got to be one of the dumbest lines of argument I have ever seen in here.
Nowhere in the statute does it say that the victim has to wait until he is seeing the white light and baby jesus holding out his hand before he can defend himself.
Who here said to punish him without a trial?
You mean how unreliable it can be?
I'm sure you're not interested in the fact that the video really does appear to show a gash on Zimmerman's head? Or the part where an officer checks out the back of his head for a few seconds? Why let facts get in the way of a good lynchin'?
I wonder why ABC didn't point either of those things out? I guess you'll just have to find another reason to hate, rather than putting down the rope for now.
