Because books.

Though for me, it's insta-rage that immediately becomes crushing hopelessness.

This.

Yes, they argued that he "weaponized the sidewalk".

I'm trying to come up with a joke about how he must have had superpowers, but it's too fucking depressing to joke about.

Seriously, what does that mean? I didn't read any of the testimony (because my head needs to be in the sand sometimes). Did he throw a chunk of it at the guy or something?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Flaunt your unarmed privilege, why don't you?

Sorry, man.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

At some point in the fight, Martin hit Zimmerman's head against the sidewalk. I think there was differing testimony about how much force he used -- the back of Zimmerman's head was bleeding from it, though. Thus, he used the sidewalk as a weapon, and so he was armed.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I took an advil and I ate and my head still hurts and then it really hurts if I get up and move around. I am taking a hot shower and going back to bed.

FWIW, I don't believe this. We only have GZ's word this occurred and TM had no DNA on his hands from GZ. I think most of GZ's wounds were self-inflicted.

As i understand it TM also had no wounds or damage to his hands at all which, while not impossible, calls a whole lot of GZ's story into question.

What does "armed with the sidewalk" even mean? I mean, really?

What it means is that the defense attorney was setting it up for an appeal on the grounds of lousy counsel.
