I used my extensive graphics experience to re-examine the "enhanced" images from ABC News supposedly showing injuries to Zimmerman's head:

No "gash", and the "abrasions" are questionable.

Yeah, because of certain TV shows, a lot of people believe that forensics "experts" have the ability to "reveal" details on an image that simply don't exist. Sure, if you "sharpen" an image using software, not only do existing artifacts take on a new life, but new artifacts present themselves. Bogus.

You know, one other thing has bothered me about the "wound" image.

If you were sitting on top of somebody and banging their head repeatedly against the sidewalk, it seems to me the wound/gash/scar would be lower on the head and closer to the neckline ... wouldn't it? That "gash" is near the top of the head. Forensics ain't my thing, but even if that is not a digital artifact ... it doesn't seem to match what GZ said happened.

besides all of that great perspective, one thing is not anywhere to be found. Where's the blood?

I really love the level of intelligence on this board. There's smart people all over the interwebz but I am convinced the level of intelligence and expertise here, top to bottom, is unrivaled anywhere. Srsly.

They were piledrivers. Trayvon picked up Zimmerman and went Stone Cold on his ass :roll:

As I said in another thread, it didn't look so much as a bleeding wound, but a caved in broken skull. That didn't make any sense.

Well you've heard the story he told. Trying to pass off that tale DOES square with having a bashed in skull. Hell, BELIEVING it requires having some pretty serious head injuries.

Or, as I've noticed in arguments on other, non-political boards, it's easy if you're a gun lover--which is the only way I've been able to explain the almost RABID pro-Zimmerman fervor from right wingers.

:lol:

I'm a gun nut. Cold dead fingers and all of that. My problem is that murderous prick was such a bad ass, all the way up to the point when he said, "Shit! What the fluck did I do?" All of that dread compounded when he realized it wasn't going to blow over.

Many of these Dirty Harry wannabees are all the same, a lot of lip and big talk up to the point that it comes with a room at the Gray Bar Hilton with a roommate named Bubba. Killing someone has consequences. Or at least they should.

I've been watching some of them long enough I can remember a lot of their user names, and what they've been saying all along.

They get upset when news articles don't mention the race of someone who did something bad. If the race of a suspected person is not mentioned, they tend to speculate about it. It's usually the first detail they seek for information on the Internet. Soon as they get that race sorted out, then they work on what punishment the person deserves.

It's racism! Gun law is an issue which so happens to be coincidental.

If Trayvon Martin had been White there wouldn't be any arguments about self defense. There would only be the arguments why stand your ground doesn't in this case apply, thus bears no fault. Zimmerman would be seen as a murderer, should be found guilty, death penalty should apply.

As much as they want Zimmerman cleared, they're also upset that the news keeps mentioning that Zimmerman is in some way regarded as being White. He's suppose to be Mexican, and they don't often care to use the word Latino or any other. Someone from Brazil would be referred to as a Mexican.

I've read those too, Sam. The more sophisticated bigots say something more akin to "He's a latino, therefore he couldn't be a racist."
