Those videos are after he was cleaned up. There are two sides to this story. The Zimmerman side shows that he had a broken nose. How'd that happen? Did he punch himself? What would you do if a 6 foot kid starting beating the hell out of you and told you that you were going to die tonight? What if you were beaten so badly that you had your head smashed against the ground and your nose broken and were threatened with death? Would you shoot the assailant? I'm not sure why everyone is so polarized. The more I read into this, I see two people who both did something wrong. Zimmerman probably provoked the kid. And then the kid beat the living daylights out of him and threatened to kill him, while breaking his nose. Zimmerman shot the kid in self-defense. Both are guilty of wrongdoing and the kid did not deserve to die. But I also find it hard to say the kid was just a poor innocent in all this. He doesn't much seem like an innocent to me from what I read on CNN.
