Enhanced Police Video Shows Injuries On George Zimmerman's Head

[QUOTE=zombini;35411074]Concrete can be sharp as fuck, like if he had his head bashed on the edge of the sidewalk, it would cause cuts.[/QUOTE]
Which brings up another issue: the inconsistency to all of this, the witnesses and evidence both conflict each other and themselves on whether it happened on a sidewalk or in the middle of a field.
What does re-digitizing even mean? I don't understand the process that turns a grainy shitty digital video and turns it into a perfectly clear non-shitty re-digital video. Were they just screwing around with brightness and contrast?

Maybe the original is analogue? Dunno.
Still sounds like technological name-dropping.
Did they go CSI: Miami on the video? Zoom into reflections and then zoom into those reflections?
[QUOTE=Swebonny;35410847]In fact Zimmerman stated that he would turn himself in if he ever gets charged. Doesn't sound like a thing cold blooded murderer would do.[/QUOTE]
There's saying and then there's doing.
[QUOTE=zombini;35411042]And the fact he is injured still doesn't justify killing an unarmed boy, in the vast majority of states, you need to be abso-fucking-lutely certain, that the offender is trying to kill you, and he is armed.
EDIT: And it doesn't help that considering the kid was 17, i very highly doubt he would try to kill zimmerman, it's more likely he was trying to defend himself from a strange man with a gun that tried to arrest him for no reason at all.[/QUOTE]
It would depend on who initiated the physical confrontation. He would be justified in the eyes of the law if he was proven to have defended himself against an aggressor. Of course, nothing has been proven yet.
[QUOTE=Gishank;35410746]If it was a black cop, and a white kid. Would you still argue the same points against Zimmerman?[/QUOTE]Zimmerman isn't Caucasian, but yeah I would.
Still the kid was walking, zimmerman started to follow even though the operator told him not to engage

Zimmerman's shirt or jacket fell open revealing his gum, which Trayvon reached for supposedly
[QUOTE=Jimbojib;35411429]Zimmerman's shirt or jacket fell open revealing his gum, which Trayvon reached for supposedly[/QUOTE]
He already had Skittles, what did he need Gum for?
This is what happened.
Zimmerman walks up to Trayvon with a gun.
Trayvon: Whoa man, be cool!
Zimmerman: I am cool now that I'm putting your punk ass in the ground!
Trayvon: You can't just kill someone and get away with it!
Zimmerman: Oh ya? Watch me.
Zimmerman proceeds to violently scratch his own head and then jumps onto the ground and bangs it on the pavement and then stands back up.
Trayvon: What are you doing? This is messed up man, I'm out of here.
Zimmerman shoots Trayvon then looks at the stars and laughs.
Yup that's how it went. Take it to the bank. You'll all see when this gets made into a made for tv movie.
One "enhanced" frame? And the fact it goes all the way up his head is kind of strange for someone who said they received wounds from the back of their head. Even if that was actually gashes, it still barely fits his account.
At first I was like "I stand corrected", then I realised this faulty at the very least.

Uh yeah, you got a source for that?
Swebonny, you have been like every other person who is defending Zimmerman. "Oh you guys shouldn't judge so quickly even though it's clear Zimmerman is innocent" Fucking hypocrite.

Either way, we can't make any decisions without a court case. [/QUOTE]
You guys have been fucking saying this since day one, WHEN will there be a court case? So far this guy has gotten off scott free.
I understand why this is getting so much attention, because of race killing, and a murder involved.
If it was the other way around, do you think there would be this much media outcry?
No. A few black males took two white couples into hostage, tortured the man, cut his penis off and killed him in front of her, while afterwards raped her. They found her body in pieces in garbage bags.
Was there anything like this that blew out from the media? No.
It's all fucking bullshit catering to a mass so they can get more views. No one cares about white people getting murdered any more.
It's just forgotten.

Also learn to read my other posts. We are the ones being realistic. You are the one taking the emotional highroad and listening to the bullshit media gives you. You assume the police are corrupt and that this is some kind racial crime. I assume things based on the evidence that we have. Also the next time you call me a "Fucking hypocrite", I'll fucking ban you.

Exactly, people need to remember that [I]racism goes both ways.[/I]
Haven't followed this much, but the little I have seen is people blindly accepting any evidence that supports Zimmerman being guilty is immediately taken for absolute truth and anything that doesn't is rejected.

what, a self report of righteousness?! he must be innocent!
ultimately zimmerman killed a person, and the whole conflict did not need to happen. self-defense or not, he created a situation in which he killed someone else, and that should not go without consequence.
[QUOTE=Jimbojib;35411429]Zimmerman's shirt or jacket fell open revealing his gum, which Trayvon reached for supposedly[/QUOTE]
The point is, Trayvon did not have a gun, even if he reached for it, you still cannot shoot him. A good friend of my father's is a cop and one of the things he was told, that if a person is unarmed and tries to take your gun, but ultimately fails, you cannot open fire on them.

In a lot of states, your are permitted to use lethal force to defend your life and safety. If someone is straddling you and mashing your head into concrete, you have a pretty good argument towards that. It doesn't matter how old the person is attacking you.
If Martin was truly mashing Zimmerman's head into the concrete, then Zimmerman had a pretty good reason to shoot the kid, as he would have been being attacked by someone with a deadly weapon (a big fucking rock.) Especially in a state with a stand your ground law, where he would have no obligation to attempt to get up and leave (assuming he even could.)
On the other hand, that is all assuming that things transpired the way Zimmerman said they did. The fact of the matter is that only two people directly experienced the situation, and one of them is dead. So now, police must attempt to piece together what transpired, and do so in a manner that does not infringe upon the rights of those who were involved that are still living.
Until there is a clear indication of wrongdoing, the police should not be arresting anyone. If it later appears that Zimmerman acted outside of his legal powers in that state, he will be arrested and imprisoned. But that is for the courts and the police to decide, based on the evidence presented to them.
Finally, simply being 17 doesn't mean that you're not going to try to hurt or kill another person. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dylan_Klebold]Dylan Klebold[/url] was 17. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evan_Ramsey]Evan Ramsey[/url] was 16. Martin being so young does not support your argument that Martin was attempting to defend himself from Zimmerman. Young age (and thus less maturity) does not make you less likely to engage in violent behavior.

That sounds like a really unambiguous case.
As opposed to this one which, y'know, is ambiguous.

There's like that big picture that shows how exactly the case was turned into racial killing by the media, with Zimmerman's skin appearing whiter and whiter, Trayvon's face being photoshopped to look smoother and younger, etc. If someone has it it would be nice if it could be posted here.

Such as what?
[quote]You assume the police are corrupt and that this is some kind racial crime.[/quote]
I don't assume the police are corrupt, I acknowledge they did a horrendous job at investigating this. On top of that, Zimmerman has been described as paranoid about black people in the neighbourhood, called Martin a coon over the 911 call (his friend claims he said goon), accosted him for literally no reason other than he was a black kid with a hoody on. Claiming race had nothing to do with this shows you have no idea about anything in this case and you can't possibly start going after me about how I "accept the media's bullshit" Nice touch with the vague argument btw.
[quote]I assume things based on the evidence that we have. [/quote]
Which is absolutely nothing. Unless you count the fact his argument has changed twice now and who's story has a large amount of holes.
[quote]Also the next time you call me a "Fucking hypocrite", I'll fucking ban you.[/QUOTE]
I didn't know calling someone a hypocrite was against any rule. Please Swebonny, inform me what rule that is.

Hell, what's [B]your[/B] point ? Because Trayvon is part of an oppressed minority he's completely innocent in that whole case ?

In what way is this a murder case? Is there evidence that the shooting was a pre-meditated act by Zimmerman?

It's ok to murder in self defense.
