Liz mentioned “redux” in relation to rights, I blew it out of proportion as to see the foolishness.

No biggie, not intended to distract from the thread. Sorry.

Good job for Zimmerman… Would it have been also nice if “Zimmerman offered Trayvon a ride home to get him out of the rain that night.” - Episcopal Bishop G Brewer -

He never had a chance, Martin attacked him before he could say anything besides “No”.

I guess he should have offered a ride as his head was being pounded on the ground.

Please … ah … let … ouch … me … ugh … take … you … ow … home.

Is the bishop in the habit of doing dangerous things himself or does he only suggest such for others? What Zimmerman did that night, exiting his truck, was dangerous enough, though we have the benefit of 20/20 hindsight and Zimmerman could not have known the young man he saw would behave so violently, but knowing that too, the bishop actually suggests Zimmerman should have gotten in a vehicle with a stranger? Yikes!

Yes, those bandaid injuries to the back of the head are killers.

Why, a kid can even skin his knee falling off the bike on asphalt, imagine that.

Zimmerman having a conceal and carry weapon seems dangerous enough.

According to George Zimmerman.
 
The sadness of this case is still being felt long after the verdict because one life was lost while another was saved.

Hindsight is always 20/20. Again, it seems Zimmerman is being blamed for not being prescient. One blow to the head can be fatal.

Even a fatal injury can sometimes be covered with a band-aid.

people die every year from being knocked down and their head hitting the pavement once,your posting ad nauseam on your perception of the severity of his injuries shows a gross unfamiliarity with head injuries. and i will add physical altercations.

We could argue till we are blue in the face about whether Zimmerman is guilty or innocent but one thing we should all agree on is that his parents getting death threats are so wrong.

Why don’t civil rights leaders like Sharpton and Jackson condemn that?

To busy promoting media and a political social agenda which as I type Obama speaks on the HHS mandate. Back on point with new fervor. A resurrected abomination of a party. Gun violence, terrorist condemned, womens rights affirmed, a promised fight on every issue. 👍

But indifference will not get in his way, and whatever executive power he has, he will use.

People can hurt themselves falling out of bed. Your reasoning requires one judging favorably for Zimmerman while it may also indicate he loses a fight he could have avoided.

Sorry, you have to make it personal. Furthermore, I assert your stating someone has posted on this subject “ad nauseum” per head wounds is a falsehood, you would be asserting on this one topic of headwounds, I have posted numerous posts. Please tell me what number do posts on that topic become “ad nauseum” which I assume means
ad nau·se·am (d nôz-m)
adv.
To a disgusting or ridiculous degree; to the point of nausea.

. You are saying this forum should accept the unsworn testimony of George Zimmerman’s version that his head was pounded into the concrete but others in this forum have no right to offer a counter opinion.

Avoid ad hominem posts. An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: “argument to the man”, “argument against the man”) consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the source making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim.

The process of proving or disproving the claim is thereby subverted, and the argumentum ad hominem works to change the subject.

Ad hominem posts are normally considered off topic.
