Yeah ... you've been paying really good attention to the discussion. Not.

Here's a lesson for you: when you join back in a discussion, and the only reason for your post is just to be a rude gratuitious ass.hole trying to diss another poster?

You might end up looking really stupid.

Just sayin'

Take it to the extremes. If a 300 lb defensive lineman for the NFL was attacked by a 100 lb. soaking wet crazy person, the lineman would still be in his rights to shoot the other guy. He does not have to "accept" physical damage just because he is bigger and stronger. He need not be hurt at all at the other person's whim.
I agree with you. I don't think the weight difference is particularly important. But a lot of people do. In practically all the early article about the case, they talked about Zimmerman being 100 pounds heavier. And several people on this site have talked about Zimmerman being 100 pounds heavier. I think their argument was that if Zimmerman had a huge size advantage then he really wasn't even in danger because he was much stronger and he could have overpowered Trayvon. I'm guessing that is what their argument was.

Anyway, the bottom line is that the reports of Zimmerman being 100 pounds heavier than Trayvon are completely false. As I said before, the size difference was probably around 20 pounds.

But hey, he looked suspicious, so it probably worked out for the best. Minor details.
I don't think that Zimmerman would agree with your argument. I don't think he would say that he killed him because he looked suspicious. I think he would say that he killed him because he was attacked from behind while he was walking back to his car, he was getting the crap beaten out of him including having his head pounded against the pavement, and at that point he feared for his life as most people would if they were being beaten like that.

I think that is what Zimmerman would say as to the reason that he killed him. If there is any evidence that disputes that sequence of events I'm sure the prosecutors will find it.

The media has now reversed course. At first they were saying that the video showed no injuries to Zimmerman. Now they are admitting that there do appear to be injuries on the video:

Here is an interview with one of Zimmerman's neighbors. He saw Zimmerman the day after the shooting.

Any injuries will clearly be shown on pictures taken inside the police station. Any media enhanced nonsense is just that. An attempt to continue the headlines and fan the flames. Sad that there is no difference in what passes for journalism and what is displayed on super market checkout counters. Quest for the shocking headlines.

Regardless of any injuries, Zimmermans free pass ended when he was told not to persue. Any injuries received after that were from someone defending themselves from being hunted by Paul Bart mall cop. This has Nascar written all over it.

Actually, you're now on ignore too. You have never provided one scintilla of content or benefit to any thread you've been in - you just parrot what she says as her personal little sycophant on here, derail / hijack threads with off topic inanity, or post cartoons. Stick to posting top 10 lists of your favorite bowel movements in Esso Cent.....You are another waste of time....buh bye.

Meanwhile, the 911 tapes that "proved Zimmerman was a racist" according to Riot have been uncovered to be doctored by NBC to make him look as though he volunteered Martin's race as the reason he thought he was guilty of some sort of impropriety:

Way to go, Riot!!

Don't bother responding, thanks!

Here's a lesson for you. When you try and act witty and your responses include calling someone a rocket scientist, using the phrase "not" and then using the term "diss" you look like someone stuck in 1993.

Just sayin'

Isn't "diss" the sound that the rocket makes as the engine fizzles out, right before it crashes back to Earth?

Glocks do not have "safeties", no guns really have safeties other than the holder. Carrying a weapon without a chambered round is as useless as not carrying a weapon at all.

and all a safety does on a gun is keep the trigger from being pulled. guns can and have gone off with a safety on...that's why they teach muzzle control, as that's the only real way to keep from shooting something you don't want to shoot.

The safety on my 9mm and .45 does not prevent the trigger from being pulled but rather disengages the hammer action. Neither will or can fire with safety on though you can pull the trigger on both.

If I'd have had a son 50 years ago, he'd have looked just like this victim.

Will any "activists" be tweeting the addresses of Bender and Israel's parents?

Carjacked and nearly (possibly) killed a guy to drive his car a half mile. This is a hate crime, too bad the gentleman driving the SUV was unarmed.
