If you remove color from the scenario altogether this is just a case of one guy defending himself from a vicious beating.

That's how I'm looking at it.



There's very little that points to a vicious beating, so far. Based on what's out there so far, this could still go either way, from self-defense to self-instigated and initiated.

You're making assumptions just as much as the ones you're accusing of doing the same.

My assumptions are based on the information available.

It is not color-based.

Martin you mean. Yes, it's too bad he didn't have a gun so he could stand his ground.

I agree. Assuming Zimmerman attacked first then Martin should have shot him in the face.

Where did you read that Martin was physically assaulted 1st? Show me this info and you win the case.

Man, the narrative on this story has changed from the initial reports I was hearing. IMO, all of this public hand wringing and interference is doing the case and Martin family a disservice.
