fatal? What buffoons. Maybe, if Zimmerman had only waited a few more minutes of having his head slammed into the ground.

Well if Zimmermans injuries were fatal, then he would be dead, would he not?
Perhaps his injuries were fatal, if eventually the radical racist have their way. There are Wanted Dead or Alive posters out there.

[Florida Statutes] 776.013 . . . a person is justified in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if:
(1) He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself . . ..
Yep. Florida law permitted Zimmerman to use the force "to prevent" great bodily harm to himself. Before the "unh uh"s starts: (A) no, Chapter 776 doesn't define "great bodily harm,' but the appropriate legal method for Martin supporters to use before arguing that Zimmerman wasn't subjected to the possibility of it, is first to research Florida law to see if the term has been defined at law by Florida courts; and (B) yes, I know about Section 776.041.

Apart from the stupidity of the headline writer, the point that Zimmerman did not suffer serious injuries is irrelevent. The Florida law, as well as self-defense laws in states that do not have a stand your ground provision, only require that you to have a REASONABLE EXPECTATION of immediate death or grievous bodily harm.

Authors Matthew Lysiak and Rich Schapiro, who anonymous sources claimed cheated in college writing courses and were sexually inadequate drunkards, have actually obtained employment offers despite their profound lack of cognitive skills.

Just putting the emphasis where I though it was more applicable to this story.

Third thing - a former co-worker’s word about why Zimmerman was fired is not reliable. They should ask the boss why Z was fired.

Christian, a University of Tennessee student, and Newsom were on a date Jan. 6, 2007, when her sport utility vehicle was carjacked at gunpoint by several people in Knoxvil The attackers blindfolded and bound the couple and took them to a rundown rental house. Police concluded Newsom was soon taken away, sexually assaulted, shot in the back of the head, set on fire and left beside some railroad tracks. Christian was beaten and repeatedly raped over the next 24 hours. An autopsy said she died of suffocation after she was choked, wrapped in plastic bags and dumped in a trash can. Cobbins' brother, Lemaricus Davidson, 28, of Knoxville, has been identified by investigators as the ringleader in the attack. Davidson, Cobbins' friend George Thomas, 26, and girlfriend Vanessa Coleman, 21, both of Lebanon, all are in jail awaiting trial. Another person, Eric Boyd, is serving a federal prison sentence for being an accessory.

Wish the thug had pulled his stunt in Texas, then the whole damn neighborhood could have legally shot the bastard.

I am thinking an editor put the title on the article. But they should have noticed themselves and had it corrected. Sad state of journalism when they cannot proof read before printing a story like that. Online or on paper.

Well, if he had already been dead when he shot the kid then no-one would be mad at him.

I was owing to comment that if George Zimmerman had suffered fatal injuries, we would not be talking about the death of Trayvon Martin, but I see that you have that covered.

So, Kabor, you've really lurched over to the Dark Side by pushing the idea that now Trayvon, who is dead, can be thought of as having committed nothing more than self-defense.
Congratulations!

Shouldn’t there be some type of literacy test for professional writers? I use the term “writers” because most news articles couldn’t possibly be written by journalists.
