Ah, so now you have the complete story nailed down in a nutshell. Watch out, Bot's gonna accuse you of mind reading.

Who initiate the confrontation? Who first began to F with the other?

More mind reading. You're assuming that everything that Z said is the unvarnished truth. There is another scenario that is every bit as plausible.

Zimmerman behaved in a menacing manner to a youth who had not harmed or threatened him, even stalking him on foot while armed. He disregarded a police request to stand down and not pursue. GZ, in fact, went out of his way to place himself in a hostile stance such that TM feared for his safety. An armed man, who was not a police officer, was confronting him for uncertain reasons.

There is no witness testimony that doesn't begin earlier than the middle of the fight, other than TM's girlfriend. Her description of events rings true to me. SYG could very well offer TM as much right to defend himself as it supposedly did GZ.

IOW, you have no argument. Your entire stance is based on the presumption that you can read GZ's mind and know with certainty that he has told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

The jury you vaunt so highly has one member displaying to the world the degree of her air-headedness. The prosecution's performance was weak in this one. And the defense got a very favorable jury.

I'll agree that TM could well have been partly at fault in this and that it's likely that GZ believed he was acting in self defense. But the sum total of GZ's actions should have some penalty attached. Perhaps there is no legal category for it to fall into in. Not sure. But this is not full tilt, gold plated justice at play.

Time wounds all heels. GZ is going to have his every falling and skinning of knees breathlessly reported in future. His going to be in the Rodney King category of public scrutiny. His life sentence is being George Zimmerman.

They prolly have open carry in Montana. I bet if he had been carrying open the whole thingie with TM would never have happened.

Following is not illegal. Beating somebody's head on the concrete is. Had Martin not been shot he would likely have been charged with felony assault and battery. Or murder, had Z died.

The last paragraph is probably right. Damned if I know. Who is Lt Calley?

Just reporting on what his girlfriend said. I added nothing.
If your news service didn't tell you, maybe you should re-evaluate your source of news i.e. propaganda

I am wondering if you can read.
I simply reported what the girlfriend said was her conversation with him on the cell phone.
If anyone made any assumptions, it was her.

Did not the Zim make a statement to police at his arrest?

Several. And some portions conflicted with the retelling. And later conflicted with the Hannity interview.

As far as I know, nobody has claimed Z is a paragon of moral rectitude. The key question is: Does the state have the evidence and supporting argument to convict?

The answer is, "No".

This in no way implies that Z is innocent.

Nor does it say anything about M.
