Seems to me that Doc has the image of a 7-ft-7 'gangsta' with brass knuckles and a 9-mil, chasing poor little old Zimmerman, who was just minding his own (white)business... \:lol\:


No, I just know that a 17 year-old isn't incapable of beating up a 27 year-old. Nor have I made any judgement that Martin was responsible. I'm only waiting for all the evidence to come in to inform my opinion.

I think the original pictures of Martin at 14 has really sunk into a lot of people's minds and made them think that there was no way he could beat up Zimmerman.


Well, that and the fact he was unarmed and facing a pistol...


We don't know if Martin was aware of the gun or not until he was shot. Zimmerman shows evidence of being in a fight. Neither of us know if Martin fought him in anger or self defense. Unless you have knowledge of evidence that the media itself hasn't reported (like the 'fact' that Zimmerman was an ex-cop).

Facts are facts. Even the ones you don't like.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
