re: #356 Liberty Hedgehog (fka Freedom Alligator)

The report really only suggests a bloody nose and some “lacerations” (note: not written by a medic either, so interpretations of what those were can vary), which I guess he could’ve gotten even by falling and hitting his head all by himself.
I’ve no idea if in such a case it would’ve been a standard procedure to rush him to the hospital, but whatever the case may be, that he wasn’t doesn’t mean that there wasn’t some kind of damage, as described in the report. But this fact and the video taken together do refute the account of a violent beating.

The report suggests so, but his lawyer’s been claiming a broken nose and scalp lacerations that came just short of requiring stitches. And even if that was all, repeated blows against the sidewalk would have warranted a level of caution far in excess of either was the report suggests or the video demonstrates. Zimmerman is not holding himself like a guy who just got the shit beat out of him.
