    I'd want to see what caused the fight to break out. I don't think you should be able to start a fight with someone then shoot the guy when you start to get your ass kicked.

    But you do believe in beating a man unconscious and into a coma if he accidentally hits a kid that was playing in the street.
    He also thinks that Zimmerman started the fight with Saint Skittles and then shot him because he was losing.

    Who would take their kid to a riot? I see a little child endangerment..................

    Lots of misinformation is believed to be true by most people about that case. Initially Owl claimed that Zimmerman chased Trademark down a "dark alley" gun drawn.

    Well, ostensibly he did shoot him because he was losing. I think even the members of the Zimmerman Fan Club say as much.

    But I've never read anything in the transcript of that trial that established with any credible proof (in other words, more than George's version) who technically started the fight. Nobody was around for that besides George and Trayvon.

    And, that night at least, he was Saint Skittles. There has never even been an allegation that he was doing anything wrong when George ID'd him as one of those "assholes who always get away."

    Yeah I don't really have an opinion on that situation either way. Just noticed that the physical contact, based on that video, was initiated by the woman. I wouldn't have dragged her to the ground.

    Girl was shoving him with her shoulder.

    That's a stretch. He should be able to defend himself against a 3 on 1 beating, I agree. But that girl did not instigate anything with him ... at least in that clip ... and she was clearly trying to keep people back (for whatever reason) and she, at most, nudged him while he was basically on top off her with with his head over or on her shoulder doing whatever he was doing.

    There's more to this guy than we know, but the dumbshits who tried to beat on him learned a lesson: shit's going to happen in these crowds. Be warned. You should assume everyone is armed and you should not assume everyone is on your side of things. These kinds of "public gatherings" draw all kinds of people ... including a lot of loons from all across the political spectrum.
    I would expect we see more of this as tim goes on. As you say, shit happens in X of Y circumstances, and the denominator keeps growing.

    I'd say otherwise. Watch it again. He arguably initiated the contact, and what she did in response was barely anything and for sure didn't warrant what he did. Her back was to him the entire time ... at least in the clip.
