Zimmerman is heavier then Martin by good 40 pounds. That's a big advantage. Martin was a skinny dude. FAIL.
The relative sizes aren't really that important since we know Martin was winning the fight anyway, the weight obviously wasn't a concern. The point was the imagery brought up of "Zimmerman v. a child" does not at all match up with him confronting a nearly six foot tall, intoxicated, violent individual who broke his nose and slammed his head into the concrete. If you really think Zimmerman is guilty, you should not have to resort to trying to manipulate the imagery.
Now about drugs, Zimmerman was under drugs - Adderall and Temazepam. Both of them are known to cause violent behavior, depression, irritability. FAIL.
Yes, this has been brought up several times before. I don't trust psychiatrists with their brain poisons either, but there is a reason the FDA has approved these drugs but not the illegal marijuana Martin was abusing. It's would be much better if all of us kept our minds free and clear of this junk, but it will take some work to undo the scientific wrongs that have been done in the mental health field.
Anyway, as bad as those prescribed drugs are, marijuana is much, much worse. Further, there is no evidence these drugs were altering Zimmerman's behavior, instead of acting out aggression he called the police to handle the matter, something he would not do if he was planning a murder. Martin never called for help, he was looking for a confrontation because the drugs in his system were interfering with rational thought.
It's a tragedy people are blaming Zimmerman when the real blame is with the society that fails to properly educate our youths about the dangers of these drugs. Education can make a world of difference.
The program described in this study should be way more common. It should be in every school, it simply works.
http://www.substanceabusepolicy.com/content/3/1/8The purpose of this study was to evaluate the capacity of the Narconon drug education program to produce a long-term impact on students' drug use behaviors in a universal (all student) classroom setting. To a large degree, baseline survey responses were similar to drug use patterns seen in large national surveys. After controlling for pretest levels of use, at six months after receiving the drug prevention curriculum students in the drug education group had lower levels of current drug use than students in the comparison group. Significant reductions were observed for alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana – important categories of drug abuse for this population – as well as certain categories of "hard drugs" including controlled prescription drugs, cocaine, and ecstasy. The results in Table 4 show a clear and reliable tendency among every category tested for the drug education program to produce reductions in drug use behavior.
Witnesses split 50/50 about who was screaming and who was on top of who.
The evidence makes it very clear what happened. The only injuries aside from the gunshot Martin suffered were to his knuckles, and Zimmerman's injuries were to his face and the back of his head as it was slammed into the concrete. Even Martin's own father said it was not Trayvon screaming until he changed his story. Every witness who actually had eyes on the event says Trayvon was on top.
