    The plot thickens. I wonder if Zimmerman sought medical treatment.

    Fuck all if I know. But you said that witnesses were talking to "teevee" and not cops. And that right there says not.

    Like I said, I know less about this case than the cops but as much any of us. I'm just going by what's in the article.

    What exactly does an individual's weight have to do with self-defense? Granted, being fat should be illegal, but are individuals not allowed to defend themselves against someone who weighs less?

    Also curious as to which "authorities" we're relying on here.

    A month ago it seemed like there was only local press coverage, which to be polite, was not to thorough.

    A month ago? I thought this just happened recently.

    No. I said that one specific witness, the exculpatory Mystery Witness being trotted out by conservative TV yakkers, had only spoken to a TV reporter, not to police.

    The other witnesses' testimony - including that which the cops tried to change or scrub; and some of which may corroborate events - has been around for a while.

    So if I want to kill someone, all I have to do is stalk them, provoke them into a fight, and start to lose the fight?

    Hot dog.

    I must point out that the only news outlet who had the story day after was a FOX outlet.

    An NBC affiliate had it that day too. But the Sentinel hasn't covered itself in glory so far.

    Yeah - The Sentinel did not have the story until the following Wednesday. Shooting took place on Sunday.
