I was having a talk about the Zimmerman case with my son, who (regrettably…) took the media view that getting your head pounded on the ground wasn't all that serious. And that medical expert said he wasn't hurt all that badly.
I said, "two words: Natasha Richardson". "Who?" She was a Canadian actress – married to Liam Neeson. She hit her head in a trivial accident on a ski trip. Waved off the paramedics. She was dead within 48 hours from hitting her head once, and I think it was less impact than Zimmerman had.
It is serious.

Of course that murder couldn't be racially motivated, could it?
It's funny that with all the emphasis in professional (and collegiate) sports on the dangers of traumatic brain injury, no one seems to think that George Zimmerman was at all at risk for that from having his head beat on the sidewalk.
If he were playing basketball and an opposing player hit him like Martin did, Martin would be banished from the game forever.
Yet, we're supposed to believe that Zimmerman should have just taken the beating.
