The Florida funeral director who handled the burial of Trayvon Martin says there were no signs of a scuffle on the dead teen, contradicting...

No .. and it's easy to prove to yourself.
Take a bath towel, fold it up a little, hold it against a wall, pretend it just insulted your wife, and give it a good hard punch.
Point being, if M gave Z one hard squared up punch that decked him, then climbed on and started dribbling Z's head off the ground,
chances are prolly better than average that there'd be no bruising on M.
I box, and I can assure you that hitting someone on the soft tissue between the cheekbone and the jawbone would likely leave not bruises, or abrasions.
The funeral director’s business likely comes from the black community. He is therefore playing to the gallery.
If the aggressor in a fight throws a first punch that is a sucker punch that puts someone down on the ground, the agressor is not going to be injured.
If the next action of the aggressor is to take hold of the person’s head and bang it on the pavement, the aggressor is also not going to show any signs of injury.
Somebody tell me what I am missing, how the funeral director’s statement is in any way relevant.
Boxers wear gloves not to protect their hands but to padd the blow to the others head.......
Regardless to the fact that a dead body does not bruise, It would be logical that Mr. Martin was not being punched.
Zimmerman was heading back to his van. Martin had eluded Zimmerman and reappeared behind Zimmerman, asking him WHY he was following him. Zimmerman said he looked suspicious. Martin started to respond, then mid-sentence sucker punch Zimmerman, knocking him to the ground.
Then he jumped on top of Zimmerman, continuing to beat him. Then he noticed Zimmerman's gun and grabbed for it. Zimmerman struggled with Martin over the gun.
So... what hand did Zimmerman use to punch Martin (who was on top of him) while one hand or both tried to get the gun back, and one hand tried to shield the blows of Martin?
I still believe, that in the struggle, it wasn't Zimmerman's finger that pulled the trigger. If it was, then it is more likely that Trayvon was 'pulling' on the pistol, which unfortunately was pointed right at his chest.
These are the kind of mistakes that wannabe ganstas make from watching too many movies.
What does this do their story that Martin was the one being beaten by Zimmerman?

Please, someone from the MSM interview me about the facts of this case. Because my word is about as reliable as everyone elses the media is digging up.
Next up, the fishstore owner who knew Zimmerman when he was 7.
“Zimmerman said Martin punched him, jumped him, pummeled him and beat his head on the concrete pavement.
That’s IMPOSSIBLE if there were no marks on Martin’s body.”
Not at all. Zimmerman’s story is that Martin punched him in the nose, breaking it and knocking him to the ground. That’s soft tissue, and such a punch might very well not bruise at all.
Then, Martin straddled Zimmerman and began bashing his head against the ground. This is usually accomplished by grabbing the head, hair or ears, and pulling and pushing. No bruising involved.
I find it very possible that Martin would have suffered no or minimal bruising.
Once again, at an age a few years older than Martin I absolutely delivered numerous direct punched to the head, bruises to the hand were not an issue in fact it’s a silly premise in a quick fight.
I’m no fighter but as a kid I also was lucky enough to get the local bully on the ground and bang his head on the pavement a few times. I certainly suffered no bruising in performing a takedown very similar to M’s.
And btw, although I forced the local bully to say “uncle” he did not have any visible marks on him, either. To open a guy’s head on the pavement you have to slam it with considerrpable force and intent.
Imagine what they would say if Martin DID have any bruises. This no knuckle bruise stuff is as silly as the old joke “ He assaulted me by repeatedly slamming into my fist with his face”.
Why would Martin get have bruises or other injuries from beating Zimmerman?
By your logic, the fact that Zimmerman had no gun shot wounds proves he didn’t shoot Martin.
“The funeral director’s business likely comes from the black community.”
That really is a rather profound statement actually.
I disagree. I could sucker punch you, jump on top of you, beat you to a pulp, and not have a scratch or bruise.
One thing for sure: there was a fight
verious 911 call state fight was going on and someone was screaming for help.
1 man was on top of anouther beating him up.
This will favor Zimmerman’s claim if police have photo’s of him being beating up.
Are you sure you don't have a typo in that. If Martin punched Zimmerman, jumped him, pummeled him, beat his head on the concrete pavement, it would be Zimmerman who has the marks on him, not Martin.
Please explain your reasoning if you think Martin should have had marks on him.
It sounds like a pretty neat arrangement if those who threw all the punches were the ones that got hurt. There sure would be a lot less fights in the world.
His opinion is about on the same level as one from the local HS janitor would be.
Ok, so if I get in another car accident, I’ll tell the doctor that there is no need to look for skin discoloration with that weird light, because a guy on FR said it can’t happen.
You are one lucky person.
Ever boxed?
Gloves protect your hands fuh-real.
the OZ. of the gloves protect the ‘target’ ;-)
Specifically, his hands.
I used to repeatedly punch concrete blocks, and never had a bruise. Why would Trayvon have bruises on his?
