Zimmerman injured? I call BS
OK, let's examine the scenario. Let us say Trayvon had managed to injure Zimmerman (man, guess he had steroids in the skittles.) Let's say Zimmerman did get his nose busted, and was bleeding.
Now, anytimes someone is injured at a scene, the police offer to get the ambulance, why?
Because people have bled to death after what seemed like a not so serious injury, and then the loving relatives S-U-E. This is especially true in Florida, where ambulance chasing lawyers grow like weeds, and advertise heavily. This is true even in fender benders. People can refuse, of course.
But, who is to say that should have been Zimmerman's call to make. Even if you plead self defense, you still have to be tiried by a jury, which means that until he at the very least made bail, he was supposed to be in CUSTODY. Usually when someone injured is in custody, they get treated, even if they are handcuffed to the f---ing gourney. They can scream "I don't want no f--Ing doctor" til the cows come home, and the PD will simply make sure they see the doctor, not because they are kind, but to COVER THEIR ASSETS.
Of course,none of this happened, and if it did, it sure as hell was not documented, which means, in that fact alone, the sanford PD violated procedure, and opened themslves up to a lawsuit. There is nothing stopping Zimmerman can sayign he has "headaches" now, and knowing Florida, there would be many lawyers foaming at the mouth to suesaying that this guy is messed up for life because they did not offer him the ambulance.

It made the job easy. 
Goodbye Jenab. Go back to your hateful little world. 
so I googled, it was google that unearthed his wiki profile as the first link that came up since he was busy posting rightwing lies there and getting pounded, like the lie that Sonia Sotomayor suggested the castration of white men.
One thing then led to another.
Enjoy your brief stay.
Of course it helps when the trolls are this ignorant.
A 
to MIRT. Well done!
"What do you think Zimmerman did wrong?"
He replied, "Everything from the time he got up in the morning."
In my opinion (at this time with the information that I have) I feel the investigation of the incident was at the best poorly conducted by a bunch of cops that were racist or could try out for the role of the "Keystone Kops" in a modern movie.
In my opinion I feel there were enough questions about Zimmerman's actions to justify his arrest. In fact some reports say that initially the officers who investigated the situation wanted to arrest Zimmerman and charge him with manslaughter but were overruled by some prosecutor who felt there was not enough evidence to justify the arrest. (Everyday I hear something different and I am ready to just throw my hands up and say, "Fuck This! I can't tell what the hell is the truth and what is not!"
I understand that EMTs are required to file a report on treatment that they give an individual and that report, when and if released, should help clear up many questions.
I have a Concealed Carry Permit and live in Florida and I would never consider myself to be a cop let alone a vigilante. I have no training let alone a uniform and a badge that would allow me to confront a suspicious person in my neighborhood.
I live in a racially diverse neighborhood and often see both black and white teenagers walk down my street with hoodies and their pants down revealing their underpants. I have never considered them suspicious in the least. There's one kid that I have called "Captain Underpants" but I never have thought that he posed any threat. I have told my own grandsons who live with me and sometimes let their pants sag, that it's a poor idea to not wear a belt with oversize pants so that you can look cool, because if you get in a fight and someone pulls your pants down around your ankles you not only will look like a fool but you will get your ass kicked.
Now I am hearing reports that Zimmerman had anger management problems which I can believe.
I will tell you how I would react if I was in Trayvon Martin's shoes from the information that I currently have. (I should add that I have had a Florida Concealed Weapons permit for the last fifteen years and 45 years experience in shooting handguns.)
When I am innocently walking down a street I am in Condition Yellow which means that I am alert to my surroundings and the people in it. If I notice someone following me, I would be concerned. I might walk faster and try to lose him. I have my radar out and something seems strange so I attempt to avoid a confrontation. If this individual confronts me in an aggressive manner, I would be on full alert which is called Condition Orange. If the individual flashed his firearm or drew it, I would go to Condition Red. If I honestly felt that he intended to draw his weapon or if it was in his hand and I believed that he intended to shoot me, I would do my best to defend myself. Since I have a carry permit and carry, I would draw my weapon and attempt to stop his attack. If I wasn't carrying my firearm, I would attempt to use what remains of the skills on disarming an attacker that I learned many years ago, fully realizing that I might end up dead if I failed. If the person who is following me is not aggressive and polite when he confronts me, I will answer his questions in a polite manner and both of us will be on our way.
But I am white and my interpretation of the level of aggression of the person who approaches and confronts me might differ considerably from the impression that a person who was black might have. I have never experienced racism and hatred. My heritage does not include a long history of discrimination. I am not a racist and even if the person who is questioning me was black, I wouldn't be concerned. I have many black acquaintances and I have even had black people room in my large home which was once a hotel. Skin color doesn't make any difference to me as what counts is not on the surface but in the heart.
Now I will put myself in Zimmerman's shoes. (I should state that I have no interest in joining a neighborhood watch and if I did I would join an actual neighborhood watch organization which I understand forbids carrying firearms.) Some reports say that Zimmerman was a self appointed Neighborhood Watch Captain which to me means he might have been a vigilante.
If I called a police dispatch operator and was instructed to break off following a suspicious individual, I would do so. Now I hear differing reports on if Zimmerman was in a vehicle when he called or if he was on foot. If I was in my vehicle, I would have simply drove off and hoped that the police would respond to the situation. If I was on foot and Martin attacked me while I was following instructions and was returning to my vehicle, I would do my best to defend myself but because I was unarmed by the rules of the neighborhood watch groups, I would not have be able to shoot him.
As you suggest I am trying to be fair. I refuse to believe that the media should replace our system of justice and replace judges and juries. At this time I don't feel we have all the information that the investigation gathered. Our system has a presumption of innocence unlike the systems in other nations. I value this.
However, from what I currently know, I feel that there should be a far more thorough investigation by an more independent agency than what I understand has been conducted. The results of this investigation should be totally released and in this situation I feel that Zimmerman should be arrested and have to explain his actions to a jury.
If this doesn't happen, I suspect we will see many nonviolent demonstrations and some violent demonstrations as the media has drawn attention to this incident, perhaps deservedly so.
