Had trayvon succeeded in smashing Zimmerman's skull, would we have heard of this case?

Or would the media have buried it?

Update:

Jazz e of all the lousy opinions I've heard the past few days yours is by far the most erroneous. Self defense is self defense. Period. No matter skin color ( which is all mist people seem to care about) or age (17 is hardly the 10 yr old the media made him out to be). Martin had zero reason to put his hands on Zimmerman. If you think I am going to allow someone to put their hands on me without a fight because of their skin color or age you are sorely and hopelessly mistaken.

Update 2:

Shawn robin, given your in depth knowledge of the participants of the case, I am inclined to ask you if you know why tyavon was suspended from school and not at home late on a school night?

    Nope. A few months after the Martin/Zimmerman incident a 17 yr old white male was shot by a 30 yr old black male. Never made any news. Happens all the time. The media got exactly what they wanted.

    Sure we would've.

    The media would've hailed his actions as self defence against an armed creeper.

    One who was out stalking teenagers on a dark & rainy winter's night in Florida.

    Given Zimmerman's long history of violence, nobody would've shed a tear:

    -Arrested for assaulting police and resisting arrest;

    -Fired from a security job guard for assault;

    -Slapped with a restraining order for assaulting his then-fiancee;

    -Reported to the cops & homeowners association by his neighbors for aggressive behaviour;

    -Accused of sexually molesting his own cousin for nearly a decade.

    It would have been an "unsolved case" of a person being murdered-

    That's tough. I would say that we probably wouldn't have heard about it unless we lived in Florida.

    Zimmerman murdered an unarmed child, I dont need to look at different scenarios, this one is disgusting enough and makes our country look backwards and ignorant and bigoted and it is true.
