Zimmerman

Funny Somewhat Topical Ecard: At least living in Florida will be some form of punishment for Zimmerman. 
Via Someecards.

David Simon, creator of The Wire:
"You can stand your ground if you’re white, and you can use a gun to do it. But if you stand your ground with your fists and you’re black, you’re dead."

"You Are Not Trayvon Martin
His death wasn’t about race, guns, or your pet issue. It was about misjudgment and overreaction—exactly what we’re doing now to the verdict."

My understanding is that Zimmerman had a bloody nose and cuts on the back of his head. Martin had bruised and bloody knuckles.

Pretty obvious to me Zimmerman tried to head butt Martin and Martin defended himself with his knuckles. His nose now very sore, Zimmerman then tried a reverse head butt and his blood was transferred to the back of his head from Martins knuckles.

On the other hand, if you want some really fanciful thinking you might read this timeline.

Martin had bruised and bloody knuckles.

Your understanding is incorrect.

Best,

"WFTV has learned that the medical examiner found two injuries on Martin’s body: The fatal gunshot wound and broken skin on his knuckles."

so just bruises, no blood.
