Wait, that fat welfare chick was Tryvon's girlfriend?
Dude, she was black, so of course not. :)

Careful, Seedy says she's not fat.

Is there any physical evidence that Zimmerman started the fight (by which I mean a physical altercation, not just following Trayvon around)?

No.  That's just what Seedy desperately wants to believe.

Yes, desperately.  So very, very desperately.  :Carolinian hand fan flutter:

What would physical evidence of starting a fight look like?  How would it differ from physical evidence of retaliation?

It's the same as the voice evidence- lay opinion, i.e., bullshit.

Looks like another good day for the defense.  A little fuzzy on specifics, sounded like they had a retired medical examiner testifying that Zimmerman shot Trayvon while Trayvon was bending over, consistent with Trayvon sitting on him and pounding his face.  Somehow the ME ascertained Trayvon's clothes were 2-4 inches from his body when the shot was fired.

I don't understand. Do you mean 2-4 inches from the gun's barrel, or from Z-man's body, or from T-bone's body?

I think I read that the muzzle of the pistol was right up on Trayvon's sweatshirt or whatever, and therefore both the gun and clothes were 2-4 inches away from Trayvon's body.

Anyway, the anti-Z rhetoric seems to now be that Zimmerman should have just passively laid there and allowed his head to be bashed into the concrete.
