I’ve seen many Zimmerman haters claiming Stand Your Ground as the justification for Martin’s actions.
“I’ve seen many Zimmerman haters claiming Stand Your Ground as the justification for Martin’s actions.”
That seems to be the prosecution’s case, as well. Neither they nor the legions of confused internet posters have any evidence whatsoever that Zimmerman started the fight. And, no, “profiling,” following, talking to him, and getting out of your truck do not count as starting a fight.
Hey Sereno, the blows were to the head, not the body. When you pummel somebody's face, you don't break ribs. You break noses and blacken eyes. He probably also had a concussion and didn't know it. The only thing inconsistent here are your stupid questions and that detective badge you're wearing.
The problem with that is that this was Zimmerman's ground not Martin's. Zimmerman lived there. Martin was a visitor, stranger, outsider coming into somebody else's living complex. As such he should tread more lightly. He didn't know anybody there and yet he acted like he owned the place.
Oh come on. This kid was in a street fight club. He was primed and ready to take on a guy half his size. He figured he would eff up Zimmerman with no probems til Zimmerman pulled his weapon and defended himself.

That's simply a non-sequitur - whether Martin had such a history or not.
Unless you have proof of the statement, yes it is.
Proof? No
Evidence? Possibly
Looks at Twitter post to Trayvon’s twitter account:

Here is a story that pulls several of Trayvon’s video clips together.

Where could that have been??? classroom? office? gymnasium? closet? There are few if any areas in a school that fit this description of being off-limit to students but still accessible to them, and especially fitting an infraction worthy of a ten day suspension.
But when you are trying to get on a bus without paying or permission from the bus driver, and when refused access, subsequently swing at him for telling you to get off, then that bus fits the description for his suspension.
The Trayvon family could set this issue and others to rest by unsealing his school records, but they won't because they have things about Trayvon that they want to hide.
Agreed.
Another enlightening moment. Thanks for posting. I wonder if detective Serino has seen what his “mild-mannered” Trayvon was doing during recess at school???
I think this could explain why in most of his older pictures, Trayvon doesn’t smile or does so with his mouth closed. In his younger pictures he had a great smile and his teeth looked perfect. But he may have taken enough hits to the mouth while club fighting that he had broken teeth and had to have dental work done, as is seen in some of his older pictures, like this “undated” one on wikipedia:
