If he was punched in the nose and it was broken, then there would be swelling and bruising. I don't see any of that. His jacket looked squeaky clean. I didn't see ANY sores or injuries on the back of his head. Let's face it the wannabe cop/vigilante shot him in cold blood.

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? Look, MM........have you listened to the tape where someone is screaming. As a parent, you would know that wasn't an adult screaming........it was too high pitched. Trayvon M. knew he was about to die. As for whether I would I have shot my assailant, dude, I would not have put myself in that position. I am not a wannabee cop like Zimmerman. Zimmerman is 100% responsible for putting himself in the situation. He is the adult.........he should have known better. As for his nose, I saw the tape of him at the police station. If he has a broken nose, then I have a broken back. His nose looked fine........as does my back. 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. How convenient. The kid beat the living daylights out of Zimmerman???? You believe that because Zimmerman says so. How come? Again at the police station, its hard to see a scratch on Zimmerman.
