Freepers are wondering why no cotton plugs in George's nostrils.

[grasswire]

Gotta give the freepers credit for a good question.

Protocol reportedly is to not transport someone with a nose injury without cotton plugs in the nostrils.

Perhaps our EMTs can weigh in on this question.

[Kalidurga]

1. That is an excellent question...

I think the reason is that the SPD didn't know that the tape was going to get out to the general public.

[MrSlayer]

1. Video is tough to contradict.

But soon enough the video will be false or from a separate incident or some such. They don't stay away from the crazy for too long.

[Kalidurga]

3. dupe

[snagglepuss]

4. Perhaps it's because he nose was never broken. Has none of them been able

to put two and two together?

[freshwest]

5. The whole thing is getting more bizarre daily. His dad spouting movie lines... whoa.

[snagglepuss]

10. The father is a bloody idiot for giving that contrived BS statement any credence.

I heard that comment tonight on CNN but I thought it was something Zimmerman told the police. I am dumbfounded that the father with his background in law is peddling this nonsense. OTOH maybe the father is in shock and is clucking at straws because he knows what is coming down the pipe. It is just too bizarre. The whole family sounds mentally unbalanced. I have read that George and his siblings weren't allowed to play with other kids growing up and that the family are devout Catholics. It seems to me George Zimmerman is a complete fantasist, that carrying a gun and shooting it was a game.

15. I read some time back about a planned community in Florida that was going to be totally isolated,

And everyone that lived there was going to be conservative Catholic and ruled by the church there. No kidding.

It'd be the Catholic version of the LDS compound in west TX, that CPS raided. This was before Warren Jeffs was brought to justice, and the stuff was awful.

But it can be done in this country with private property, no interference in any religious sect, and willing converts. I wonder if the Zimmermans are that far out of the mainstream. If that city did get set up, it'd be the perfect sanctuary.

Many millionaires in FL have so much money the state apparently has no ability to bring them to account for anything. This is from the libertarian 'starve the beast' or 'drowning the government in the bathtub' scheme.

No one can do a thing when they get enough of this accomplished, it's all patronage and corruption. I don't know what to say.

16. Is called Ave Maria

Located near Naples. Its a large development, though I dont think it got finished. There was supposed to be a cathedral and university there.

[COLGATE4]

21. It actually exists. It's called Ave Maria

and it's in Central Florida. Santorum's dream community.

[freshwest]

24. Thanks, guys. Yes, that's the one. Don't know if this qualifies as balkanization, but it might.

It's the dream of the GOP come true, the utter destruction of the commons, thus excluding the unworthies, all that 'all men are created equal' foolishness.

Unless you want to take that literally. I've argued with Constitution Party people who really do intend to deny women, the poor, etc. the right to vote.

Slavery's okay, just call it something else. This has been in our faces for years and I don't know why people didn't take it seriously. Someone has a signature line here with a Mark Twain quote explains it.

[grasswire]

26. thanks, that's very interesting

The father lives in a community called Lake Mary, as I recall. Might be the same kind of place.

[Justice wanted]

6. For a Freeper to ask that type of question it shows a freeper has a brain and can actually reason

and not follow the party line.


Very good question.

[Mariana]

11. That freeper will likely be drummed off the site in short order.

They're always nutty over there, but they're reaching new heights of craziness on the threads about this story.

[Whiskeytide]

18. My money is on a DUer...

... trolling the asylum. Makes much more sense than the theory that one of those morans got a brain.

[Ikonoklast]

7. If he was treated at the scene, where's the bandage on his scalp wound that "needed stitches"?

Anyone that ever had a scalp wound knows that they bleed like a sumbitch, and are very difficult to stop.

Unless Zimmerman has Magical Blood and heals almost instantaneously, there never was any wound.

[chollybocker]

8. It's like a mystery. Wrapped in an enigma.

Wrapped in a falafel. Wrapped in a flag.

I foresee much head-scratching.

[grasswire]

9. a falafel is better than a loofah n/t

[Mariana]

13. It's wrapped in plenty of bullshit, that's for sure. nt.

[alcibiades_mystery]

17. ROFL

Well done.

[Mariana]

12. The cops aren't wearing any gloves, either.

Doesn't just about everyone who works with injured people always wear gloves if there's any blood? Isn't that like one of those really important safety rules when someone's been bleeding and you have to touch them, to not get their blood on you? These cops don't seem to have been too worried about Zimmerman's blood. Maybe because there wasn't any.

[Son of Gob]

14. That's right,

kpete started a thread about that. - http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002487876

[alcibiades_mystery]

19. Nobody who has ever been in or near a major hand-to-hand altercation

believes, after looking at the video, that this guy was in one that night, perhaps less than an hour before this video was taken.

There's just no fucking way. I have no doubt that some freepers have been in or near fights as teens or adults. They know. They can argue about "treatment at the scene" and similar nonsense, but they take one look at that video, and they know that the story of Martin coldcocking this dude is utter bullshit, they know the story of Martin on top of this dude pounding his head into the sidewalk is utter bullshit. They know. Anybody who has ever been in an actual fight knows there's no way you walk away looking like that - unless you won the fight and won it easily, which is not Zimmerman's claim.

There's no way his statement to police can be true, and he can walk away from it looking like that.

And Freepers are ideologue fanatics, but not all of them are stupid. They look at that video, and even they know.

[hexola]

20. Looks like Zimmerman had a cop haircut!!!

Thats what Im taking away from this - Zimmerman has the same haircut as all the cops - why? Because he's a wannabe!!!

[HillWilliam]

23. If he was worth a damn he would be.

I suspect there's a reason or 10 he can't get into or make it through the academy. He's like the "ain't right" cousin of the PD there.

[Javaman]

22. simple...

his nose was neither broken nor hit.

no blood, no plugs.

[arthritisR_US]

25. That could be a bumper sticker, lol! n/t

[librechik]

27. lol--so they do have a brain cell between them!

I wonder how long those folks will last...
