Reported by ABC News, Zimmerman's lawyer says that Zimmerman suffered a broken nose.
This looks more like a case of a tall agressive black who was suspended from school beating up a short overweight non-agressive white-collar worker.

Also, Matt Drugde is running with the picture of Trayvon with the gold teeth and wifebeater shirt.

Meanwhile, a black lynch mob is forming:
It was announced by Mikhail Muhammad, leader of a small militant organisation called the New Black Panther Party, who said he was seeking up to 10,000 black men willing to form a militia to find Mr Zimmerman and administer what they regard as justice.
Asked if he was inciting violence, Mr Muhammad said: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." To the sound of cheers from followers, who wore black uniforms, he promised: "If the government won't do the job, we'll do it."
And also from a link at Drudge, have you seen the cracker t-shirt blacks are sporting?

Low IQ blacks do indeed think Zimmerman is white, unless they also use "cracker" for Hispanics.
Higher IQ blacks know better but don't care--make that Hispanic into a white....just like Barry Soetoro has.

I wondered why the Black Panthers who had "wanted dead of alive" posters the other day and who were publicly calling for GZ to be killed weren't arrested.
It's a crime.

The question in my mind is who started it. The person who starts a fight shouldn't be able to claim self defense if they find themselves on the losing end. This may mean that Zimmerman's options at the end were allowing Travon to beat the crap out of him, or shooting Travon and going to jail for murder.
Another angle...
I wonder if the Felony Murder Rule applies? If Zimmerman started the fight, couldn't he be charged with felony assault, and wouldn't that make him strictly liable for Travon's death?
[HS: Yes, if Zimmerman started the fight, he loses the self-defense claim, the fight getting out of control being a risk he took when he started it.
But it's more believable that Trayvon started the fight, given what we know about NAM behavior and the behavior of guys with desk jobs who scream "help" like a girl went they are being beaten up.]

What's really obscene is the way the media just outright lies about this. Ultimately these stories falsely flogging a racial narrative are going to get people killed.
They get most of the goddamn details wrong just as they always do in these manufactured race war stories. I'll bet the KKK/Stormfront crowd hoping for more racial tension couldn't be happier with the legacy media narrative.
Check out Anderson Blooper applying high tech wizardry while remaining heroically oblivious to the fact that he said "fucking punks" rather than "fucking coons" (a term which no one under 40, racist or not, uses):
Do these asses realize that when you can't get the true story, that people stop watching or that this crap gets people killed? I hope that the next victim of an angry black man incensed by these false and inflammatory stories played a role in fabricating this narrative.
CNN being willfully obtuse (placing the word "coons" in the mind of the listener, but not "punks"):

Yes, if a white group put out such a call on a black criminal they would be monitored (at the very least) by the FBI. But we know who is in charge of the Dept. of Justice. The same guy who refused to prosecute the Black Panthers when they were intimidating white voters at a polling place in 2008.

"The person who starts a fight shouldn't be able to claim self defense if they find themselves on the losing end"
True, although if all Zimmerman did was ask Trayvon to identify himself, I do not consider that to be starting a fight.
The latest from the local paper is that "With a single punch, Trayvon Martin decked the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who eventually shot and killed the unarmed 17-year-old, then Trayvon climbed on top of George Zimmerman and slammed his head into the sidewalk several times, leaving him bloody and battered, authorities have revealed to the Orlando Sentinel.
That is the account Zimmerman gave police, and much of it has been corroborated by witnesses, authorities say."

This story adds that Trayvon went for Zimmerman's gun, and "13-year-old Austin Brown told police he saw a man fitting Zimmerman's description lying on the grass moaning and crying for help just seconds before he heard the gunshot that killed Martin"

EXACTLY.

One more "interesting" case http://www.opposingviews.com/i/society/crime/video-muslim-mom-killed-left-note-go-back-your-country-you-terrorist
The spring season in the US will be hot.
More generally I think there will be a world-wide trend in this, in difficult times it's of no good to be from some "alien side" (whoever is deemed to be alien)

@HS: "But it's more believable that Trayvon started the fight, given what we know about NAM behavior and the behavior of guys with desk jobs who scream "help" like a girl went they are being beaten up."
We'll never know exactly what happened. There don't appear to be any independent eyewitnesses to the initial confrontation. Only two people were there, and one of them is now dead.
Carrying a gun can mess with your mind. It can give a fat desk jockey [I resemble that remark!] a false sense of power and invincibility, leading them into confrontations they otherwise would have avoided. Couple that with Zimmerman's "cop wanna be" neighborhood watch activity, and I find it more likely that he started it.
Perhaps this would be a good time to discuss what constitutes "starting it". From my perspective, it's not necessarily about who throws the first punch, or even initiates the first physical contact. Imagine that Zimmerman got in Travon's face and impeded his progress walking down the street. I'd say that Zimmerman "started it", regardless of who actually touched who first.

Re: the lynch mob
It would suck to look like Zimmerman. But I'm sure this black militia is made up of perceptive geniuses who think before acting out, so that shouldn't be much of an issue.
Your race riot prediction was scary, but possible.

Outside of the blogosphere no one cares about the "New Black Panther Party."
Posted by: Peter | March 26, 2012 at 04:36 PM
I don't know why they actually need a "militia" to get Zimmerman. Spike Lee tweeted his address and the apartment complex has been shown on TV numerous times. You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out where he lives.

If Zimmerman had a broken nose, shouldn't there be a record of medical treatment? Did the official police report of the incident mention any injuries to Mr. Zimmerman?
Posted by: Gershon Mayer | March 26, 2012 at 08:07 PM
A hispanic shoots a black guy and the blacks blame whitey. If that doesn't convince you that a lot of blacks just plain hate whites then nothing will. Having said that, I'm not trying to push this onto the Hispanics. I think Zimmerman is innocent and even if he wasn't this shouldn't reflect on them as a group.
Posted by: destructure | March 26, 2012 at 09:27 PM
Why does the media not mention the injuries to the back of George Zimmerman's head or the fact that he had a broken nose? WHy will the girlfriend of Trayvon not speak with police but only an attorney? Trayvon was a black, wild boy. . . I assume. He was suspended from his school and he was just doing ni**erish things. Like beating up on neighborhood watch people. I'm not racist, but Trayvon is a ni**ger and deserved to get his ass whooped. Not killed, but hey. . . it was self defence.

If they are look for racially modivated hate crimes they need to read this story of a white 13 yr boy burned by two black men. (Read more at: http://www.conservativecrusader.com/articles/was-boy-in-k-c-fire-attack-burned-by-his-school-s-racist-teaching)

Some hard facts:
Prejudice will always influence human behavior.
A hundred million years of living in tribal communities produces the very logical fear that someone who looks different and talks different than you should be considered dangerous.
Those who believed differently were weeded out by natural selection.
The good reverends Al and Jesse are only proving the point.
