walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[F.U.]

Looking back at the HLN photos that HotD posted, I'm surprised George didn't have more of Trayvon's blood on him of T was on top of him when George shot him.

Also, the back of his head in those pics, it looks like G got a damn paper cut (okay, I exaggerate but close). Doesn't look at all life threatening or like someone repeatedly having their head slammed on concrete.

Bullet wounds are different than people think. Entrance wounds tend to be very small. It is the exit wound that gets rather ugly. Keep in mind that a 9mm bullet is just .355 inch in dia. That small of a hole and a shirt and hoodie to soak up any blood that may come out would keep most, if not all, of the blood off Z.

I have seen, while deer hunting, a deer take a 12g slug [MUCH larger than a 9mm] and run 30-40 yards before the blood trail will start. The same goes when bow hunting and a broadhead is 1 ⁷⁄₈ inches in dia. So the lack of blood don't really surprise me.

I do however agree with you on the wounds Z has. I would think that after getting his head bashed into a sidewalk a few times there would be much more road rash than that.
