Lots of people opt out of getting an ambulance ride to the ER, instead opting to visit their own doctor the next day, because they're concerned about the huge co-pay associated with ambulances and ERs. Not saying that was Zimmerman's reasoning; just suggesting a possible, very reasonable explanation for him to choose not to have the paramedics take him to the hospital. Another good reason would be not thinking clearly due to shock, and a third could have been that he didn't really realize how badly he might have been hurt. My daughter fractured her wrist, and we didn't realize it for almost two weeks, because it wasn't causing her any more pain than wrenching it really hard would have done. These things happen.
An amazing display of supposition and conjecture in a desperate attempt to excuse the questionable actions of Zimmerman.
If your scenario was indeed true, then why would Zimmerman need a doctor's permit to go work? If his injuries were that severe, then why didn't the paramedics report state so? Shock would require hospitalization. And why didn't his family doctor's diagnosis reveal more severe injuries that would coincide with the initial description of the fight that Zimmerman told, let alone your "might have, could have, maybe" scenario.
The FACTS don't support your guesswork, kid.
Strike two, Cecilie.
Strike two? I haven't even been speaking to you, so when would I have gotten strike one in this ridiculous game of "win the approval of someone I think is dumber than a puddle of spit"?
Newsflash for you sweetpea, the site records shows on May 19th YOU sending me a negative rep with a note cursing at me. The chronology of the posts also shows YOU commenting on posts were I kicked the ass of your like minded compadres, like Ariux (Post #2057, for example). So don't come here lying your dopey little ass off when I can easily document your foolishness.
Who says his injuries had to be "that severe" - whatever
that means - for his boss to require a doctor's note? I know lots of employers who require a doctor's note for ANY injury, just to cover their asses against later Workmen's Comp claims. The US Postal Service, for example, would have insisted on a doctor's release when I worked for them. Hell, part of their hiring process was to have me get a back X-ray.
First off, PLEASE spare us your little life experience anecdotes, as they ARE IRRELEVENT TO THE CASE AT HAND. If your willfully ignorant litte ass was actually knowledgeable about this case, you would have known that Zimmerman's initial press releases highlighted him having having his head "bashed" against the ground several times leaving a bloody "gash" on his skull. Also, his nose being broken and bloodied, etc. Clearly, the paramedics and the video from that night did NOT reflect the severe injuries that Zimmerman's camp was initially proporting. Secondly, YOU inavertently make my point....because if indeed Zimmerman needed such medical conformation just to go to work, then he would have required at least temporary hospitalization that night. YOU NEED A REASON FOR A DOCTOR TO GIVE YOU AN O.K. TO GO BACK TO WORK.....Zimmerman DID NOT go to the hospital that night, or the following day, and the paramedics did not issue a report claiming he needed to. So why go to the family doctor the next day and give the exuse for the visit that he did? It doesn't make sense, unless you're a Zimmerman zombie.
As to the rest of your bullshit response, the facts don't support YOUR guesswork, ass.
Learn to READ, sweetpea....I'm QUESTIONING YOUR GUESSWORK, BASED ON THE FACTS AVAILABLE. THE CHRONOLOGY OF THE POSTS SHOWS THAT UNLIKE YOU, I CAN PROVIDE FACTS TO BACK UP WHAT I SAY.
All this liberal pooh-poohing about "his injuries weren't bad enough" is the rankest sort of desperation play.
No genius, it's an observation BASED ON THE INFORMATION AND PHOTOS GIVEN. Yes, he was in a fight, but he was NOT injured to the extent that was initially touted by his legal camp (or his father, brother). You would know this if your attention span was that of an honest, objective adult.
First it was "He has no injuries! He's guilty!" Then - OOPS! - he has injuries after all and it turns out you dipshits ran your gums a little too soon, so now all you armchair Albert Schweitzers want to diagnose from home and ***** about how he didn't sustain enough damage to suit you.
First, he claimed a serious head wound. Then the video didn't show this....then we see cuts and scrapes that warrant blood, but no stitches. Then there's the "broken and bloody nose". Then we see a nose that's been punched and a LITTLE blood trail, but NOT busted. And when all is said and done, the actual "injuries" were treated readily in the EMT van, so by the time Zimmerman is at the police station, he looks like a guy who's been in a scuffle as opposed to the life and death struggle that he barely escaped from all beaten and bloodied, like his supporters and legal folk and family initially stated. See sweetpea, IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE CHRONOLOGY of the situation, you UNDERSTAND why Zimmerman's claims are dubious at best....unless of course you're a Zimmerman zombie.
You'll excuse me if I don't require Mr. Zimmerman to apologize to you for being too sturdy and healthy for your tastes.
There's no excuse for your willful ignorance Cecilie. It's about FACTS and EVIDENCE...who said what, when they said it, and do the FACTS REVEALED support those statements. To date, Zimmerman does not stand up to scrutiny.
That's Strike One for the doctor's note, Strike Two for the Internet doctor routine, and Strike Three for existing without sufficient brain cells to suit me.
Insufficient brains cells unfortunately do fit you, Cecilie...which is why in light of the FACTS your attempts at conclusive sarcasm are a joke at best.
You're out, shitforbrains! Back on ignore for you!
Sorry sweety, but the chronology of the posts makes you out a liar on that point as usual.
Better luck next time.
