I like Scarborough, i DVR morning Joe every morniing and then watch it after the open, Scarborough seems like a guy who always presents both sides of the argument, and its always funny watching him get Mika's panties in a twist, when he criticizes Obama. With that said I have seen some really ridiculous arguments with him in the last couple months, and he seems to be going further and further left by the day, must be contagious down at MSNBC. With that said I cant even fathom his position on this. What kind of an idiot would chastise the right wing for supposedly politicizing this shit, at the same time the left has tens of thousands of protesters, an organized lynch mob compliments of Sharpton and Jackson, a bounty on the guys head, the congressional black caucus, and the entire liberal media shamelessly lying about one thing after another? It is ridiculous for Scarborough to chastize the right over this.
Did any of those "supporters" anywhere come up with how Zimmerman managed to shoot someone who was on top of him and not get any blood on him? Did I miss the class in physics where fluids fall up?
Was there a report that there was no blood? I wouldn't expect him to be covered in blood like he burst a balloon... Injuries and a close-quarter discharge of the gun into Martin would be proof of struggle and assault. While I think Zimmerman is just a cop-wannabe with a gun, his lawyer really should be pushing verified/documented information into the media to take the wind out of the hangers-on. Maybe he should get a new mouthpiece.
No report, just that the clothes he was wearing coming in had no blood on them. If Trayvon was in fact on top of him wouldn't he at least have fallen on him? I don't see how that happens without blood getting on you, and the paramedics wouldn't have bothered to clean his shirt of blood in that half hour between the shooting and the video.
"As the Trayvon Martin controversy splinters into a debate about self-defense, a central question remains: Who was heard crying for help on a 911 call in the moments before the teen was shot? A leading expert in the field of forensic voice identification sought to answer that question by analyzing the recordings for the Orlando Sentinel. His result: It was not George Zimmerman who called for help. Tom Owen, forensic consultant for Owen Forensic Services LLC and chair emeritus for the American Board of Recorded Evidence, used voice identification software to rule out Zimmerman. Another expert contacted by the Sentinel, utilizing different techniques, came to the same conclusion. Zimmerman claims self-defense in the shooting and told police he was the one screaming for help. But these experts say the evidence tells a different story." http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...-george-zimmerman-911-20120331,0,250481.story
Maybe the cops swung by the local laundromat, washed & dried George's clothes for him on the way to the police station. // I'm serious - someone is going to pop up on this thread claiming that George's brother, father, or lawyer said this on TV and this is why there is no blood on his clothes.
George Zimmerman's father and brother say different storys. Why the father is saying "at some point George pulled his pistol and did what he did" Why does he say "at some point", but he does not say his son pull his pistol because Trayvon try to take his gun? That is important to talk about, but the father did not say that. But his brother is saying Trayvon say "you have a peice" The brother Zimmerman Jr. said, âWhat Trayvon said was, either to the effect of, I believe, âThis is going to be easy, you die tonight or you have a piece, you die tonight.â http://www.radaronline.com/exclusiv...father-robert-zimmerman-piers-morgan-video-jr The father "Trayvon Martin said something to the effect of 'you're going to die now,' or 'you're going to die tonight.' Or something to that effect. He continued to beat George and at some point George pulled his pistol and did what he did," Robert Zimmerman said. http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/dpp/ne...ill-zimmerman-zimmermans-father-says-03282012
His lawyer should at least do the media circuit with verified medical records of Zimmerman's broken nose. What is he waiting for?
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2012/0...-still-not-answered/Was-George-Zimmerman-hurt "there should be X-rays or other medical evidence if Zimmerman sought treatment for a broken nose." How hard can it be to produce this? This is a critical fact because Zimmerman, his lawyer, and his father have all said it. The undertaker's comment that Martin looked "normal" (other than the gunshot wound, of course) would be proof that Zimmerman suffered bodily assault, but Martin (again, other than the gunshot wound) did not have injuries indicative of a fistfight. So that would prove Martin was pounding on Zimmerman until he was shot. What is Zimmerman's lawyer doing? Seems easy enough to produce the x-rays.
