Zimmerman to be charged with murder -

Intermediate range has a precise, forensic, definition Dog - would you care to tell all the listeners what it is or will you leave that up to me?

intermediate range means that Zimmerman was at close range when he murdered Martin. What is interesting is that Zimmerman suffered such life threatening injuries allegedly from an assailant who had only a small abrasion below a knuckle on his left hand. Care to explain how that happened?

Don't bother STDS... he's busy trying to figure out how Mike Coffman can be court martial :Koolaid:

When you are delivering a beat down on a person, you might have few if any wounds. Many times, a person will just turtle up in shock, or might be moving a hand to his gun rather than to his opponent's face. Self defense poses for CCW people will often have you put out your non-dominant arm to take blows while you use your gunhand to draw.

How did Zimmerman suffer those "devastating" and life-threatening injuries while "turtling" up, of which there is no evidence that he did so? Instead those severe injuries occurred while the assailant only incurred a very minor abrasion? Does not sound likely. What is more likely is that Zimmerman tripped and fell.

You could be right, one of the first things people do when attacked is to retreat which often causes the person to trip and fall.
(In my practical shooting contests as a safety measure, you are not allowed to retreat from a target, only move sideways and forward to decrease falls.)

Zimmerman's injuries were not documented by a doctor till the next day. Is it out pf the realm of possibility that he asked a friend to hit him a few times so a murder he knew he committed would look more like self defense?

Would the injuries have been noted in the police reports if they hadn't been sustained yet? You do remember, don't you, that the police officers noted in their reports that he was bleeding from the nose and the back of his head, injuries which they had the paramedics treat on scene before transporting him to the station for questioning, right? I mean, the doctor wasn't the first person to document the injuries that Zimmerman suffered at the hands of Martin, and you are well aware of that, aren't you?

Intermediate range means that Martin was more than 1" and less than 18" away from the end of the barrel when he was shot.

As to the amount of damage a fist can inflict without incurring damage, it's a matter of simple physics really. If you hit someone wrong it's going to hurt like Hades, but do it right and you transfer all the energy from the blow through the point of impact into the other person without doing any damage to yourself at all. Don't know whether or not you've had formal training of any kind Dog, but in my training I had to put hands and feet through 5 1x12x12 boards (1" of wood is approximately the same resistance of a human rib) multiple times during a test to advance from one level to the next. Not only were my hands and feet not cut, they weren't even sore, bruised or damaged in any way by the exercise. It's always better to be the hammer than the nail after all, right?
