You won ‘t see this news in the mainstream press, but it turns out that the medical report on George Zimmerman shows that he was severely beaten. He suffered a broke nose, two black eyes, and lacerations on the back of his head.
The mainstream press will tell you that the incident was that of a white guy who targeted a black guy and decided to kill him.
Now… let’s put yourself into the same situation. You routinely watch over your building complex, knowing that there are bad actors who look over the various condos for targets of opportunity.
You see a person who is lurking about. You ask him what he is doing there. He attacks you by repeatedly striking you, breaking and bloodying your nose, pounding your face, and leaving you with no choice but to use your weapon.
What part of self-defense do you not understand?
