Quote from CoolTraderDude:
I agree... Ted would be smart enough to stay away from such trouble!![]()
Nothing to do with it? If the hockey players were not wearing hemets, they would have bled. If Zimmerman was wearing a helmet, he would likely not have bled. Scalp repeatedly hit on concrete produces cuts, with or without concussions, depending on the severity of the slams. But if the direct skin on concrete slams were significant enough to cause concussion, then they would have been bleeding profusely because even small cuts to the scalp bleed significantly. If there was no bleeding, there was likely no meaningful contact with the concrete.Quote from CoolTraderDude:
Got nothing to do with it... I can hit you in the head and give you a concussion without you bleeding. Anyway, I'm not a Zimmerman supporter and I also think that Trayvon was an asshole.
Quote from CaptainObvious:
Or Ted would have gotten away with a crime cause he was white and therefore beyond being a suspect.
You make some good points in your posts here, but there are some bad guys named Ted as well. Just sayin!

So, yeah, it has something to do with it.
Seriously, you don't know what you're talking about. And pavement is not smooth. Try sliding on it with some bare skin. A struggle would have caused some scraping along with the slams, even though the scraping would not be necessary to cause the scalp to bleed. It would just make it worse. You've never been in a ground fight, have you?Quote from CoolTraderDude:
... As for having your head bashed into the pavement it wouldn't necessarily bleed... The pavement is a flat smooth surface it won't necessarily cut you.

So, yeah, it has something to do with it. You're just not thinking it through.
