So then in your opinion...

... telling the truth = "being goofy"?

Correct me if I'm wrong... is that really what you are trying to imply?

So, if not arrested, I'd at least expect to be held until these test could be performed.

BTW, the circumstances are very different here. This Zimmerman guy wasn't being mugged. He pursued this kid, after specifically being told not to by the police. The kid was unarmed, Zimmerman was bigger than him, plus Zimmerman had a gun.

He wasn't told anything by the police, he called 911 and the operator advised him to back off.

Zimmerman was hospitalized with serious facial injuries including a suspected broken nose, self defense seems to be appropriate in that case.
In Florida, under Florida laws self defense would include shooting a person who was shouting at you and behaving In a threatening manner.
That's the law in Florida!!
In Massachusetts it's different.
6 weeks ago a pizza delivery person threatened to kill me and my newborn because I had his car towed away.
Apparently he felt it ok to park in my driveway whilst delivering to my neighbours!
I had his car towed, then parked, he then arrived on scene ranting and threatening.
I Florida I could have shot him, but this is Massachusetts.
I called the police, they dealt with it.
It might have been less expensive if I just gave him a few slaps but you can't be too Carefull when liberals are involved!!!!
The criminal is always right!!!!

And it was. What is your point...??

Next: Smallstuff accuses Martin of shooting himself in the chest to 'strike a blow' at Whitey for Black Liberation Theology... under strict orders from The Great And Terrible Reverend Wright himself!

Armed response initiated AFTER 17 year old VIOLENT thug attacked the defendant causing actual bodily harm.

Zimmerman was hospitalized for serious facial injuries caused by this violent youth!!

It was self defense.

It's quite simple. Calling people liars, or claiming what they say are lies ( as if there's a difference), for stating an honest opinion, is goofy. If you ask me, that's putting it politely. Certainly, more polite than you're being.

Zimmerman was NEVER hospitalized..

In fact there's a new thread...seems he went to the police Station and it had video..he was UNHARMED...he didn't go to the Hospital that night but went to the doctor the next day...sounds like fishy.

If the IP's matched up he would be gone, or soon to be. If you suspect something report it.

Sadly resetting IP's, and using proxies, has become common knowledge on the Interweb these days.
