ABC News boldly proclaimed police surveillance video of George Zimmerman being taken into the Sanford police station the night Trayvon Martin was killed showed no blood or bruises from an alleged physical encounter Zimmerman claimed to have had with 17 year-old Trayvon Martin.
Trayvon Martin Video Shows No Blood or Bruises on George Zimmerman
A new High Definition clip from the same video appears to make clear that Zimmerman had a gash, or wound of some kind on the back of his head. That would be totally consistent with his version of events on the night in question and opposite the impression ABC News gave its viewers.
Big Journalism called the ABC video-based report reckless and revealing of nothing after it first aired.

Amen
From what has been leaked whether true or untrue, Trayvon came up behind Zimmerman and asked if he had a problem. Zimmerman said something back like No and Trayvon said you do now and sucker punched him which knocked him down. This is what gave Trayvon the ability to jump on top of him and started banging his head on the sidewalk. Getting hit in the nose causes a disorientation in itself (probably worse if the nose ends up broken) as I’ve heard it was.
During the scuffle on the ground as Zimmerman was trying to push himself away from the pavement and onto the grass probably knowing that his skull would not survive much more abuse, his shirt came up showing the gun. A fight ensued over the gun. Guess who won!
This is my take from all the little leaks that have been thrown out there none of which should be taken as what is real. We really need to wait for the police to complete the investigation and/or have their day in court.
It would have been in the best interest of Trayvon if he had just not been a punk and talked with Zimmerman explaining why he was in the neighborhood. I’ve had white weird dudes walking my street and I wonder what the heck are they doing out there. I’ve never seen that person before. It’s natural instinct to wonder what someone is up to if they are just roaming around. I wish everyone would just stop making everything out as being profiled. I don’t care what color you are - if you are walking my street and I’ve never seen you before, I am going to watch you like a hawk. Period!
Thank goodness we have Free Republic to re-broadcast relevant news stories such as this. and discuss and trade perspectives with like-minded Conservatives to offer our perspectives.
“This the degenerate little prick that runs ABC News, his name is Ben Sherwood.
Tweet his effin address, he should be getting back from temple just about now.”

Or maybe he’ll just now be getting back from some “quality time” with Lindsey Graham??
The problem with this case, and with the law, is that there is considerable reason to believe each party believed he was being threatened and/or attacked and was acting in self-defense.
I completely agree Rome.....would love a thread to discover what media first began to hype this story to the other media..and what journalist first began to twist the story as a racial issue.
Expose them for what and who they are, and those who have been distorting the facts clearly with intetn.
We already know ABC blocked the video of Zimmermans injuries when he arrived at the station. But who spliced the video to air as it did.
Doing this would certainly be challenging to say the least.
However these two ultimately met up, and thus far I do believe Zimmerman was attacked when attempting to get into his SUV,and no I don't believe that Martin felt threatened....in the sense most might....I think he's a much tougher character than what he's been protrayed as...and covered for.
I was on one site where a gal wrote it was her friends mothers jewelry that was stolen by Martin and found in his bag...but who knows...still it was interesting to see her rant about how upset she and her friend were about this happening.
