There's nothing to suggest that Martin started the altercation.

Zimmerman's nose provides a clue.


No, it doesn't.

Your comment postulated that Zimmerman's nose injury indicated Martin
started the fight. There's nothing on which to base that. Zimmerman
might well have punched Martin first, and Martin then might have
punched
Zimmerman in the nose.

------------------------------------

Testimony in the trial suggests that it is unlikely that Zimmerman
threw *any* punches period. If he was the racist vigilante that you
like to promote, why throw a fist if you have a 9mm handgun strapped
to your belt?

In the end it doesn't matter who threw the first punch. The upheld
self defense claim has nothing to do with who threw the first punch,
who followed who or what anyone said to the other.
