Wow.
Sure was. Because Trayvon was shot to death.
Apparently, the investigator at the station wanted to charge him for homicide but the city attorney nixed the idea. And Chief Lee seemed to back Zimmerman all the way.
This is a P.D. and a county with a seriously racist history, and not just from 50 years ago. That's in part why there is such an uproar over the lack of charges. Remember, this is the same P.D. that failed to arrest the white dude who sucker punched a black, homeless man in the back of the head, for no reason at all, even though there were tons of witnesses. Only after video surfaced was he asked to come in voluntarily to be arrested. He was released almost immediately and only got probabtion for his unprovoked attack. Black folk know how things work down there. I'm learning now myself.
He said no injuries to his hands that would indicate punching/fighting. Clearly there were injuries to his body, since he was shot to death.
I worked as a preschool teacher and daycare worker for years. Head wound bleeds insanely. Anyone with kids knows that. Even a minor cut to the scalp. And a broken nose? Absolutely right that it spurts and drips all down the front of the shirt. This is b.s..
