Simple Question... If Zimmerman had his head bashed

wouldn't medical protocol dictate that he have a CAT scan to check for brain injury?

So wouldn't the EMTs have recommended he be transported to the ER to get one?

And therefore he would not have even been at the police station 35 minutes later?

Ambulance for Zimmerman was cancelled en route

SANFORD, Fla. -
A Trayvon Martin family spokesperson says information within the newly released fire rescue dispatch recordings from the night George Zimmerman shot and killed Martin is just another reason why Zimmerman should be arrested.

The recordings, which were first obtained by the New York Daily News and then shared by the newspaper with Local 6, detail communication from emergency medical responders on the night of Martin's death.

In the recordings, you can hear rescue workers talking about Zimmerman, just minutes after his family says Martin repeatedly pounded his head into a sidewalk.

But you're right; there's no way in pluperfect hell that the 2nd ambulance would have turned away if Zimmerman's head had been pummeled as later suggested.

that sort of beating on concrete, (yeah I know he's lying), would have resulted in all kinds of cuts, bruises, scratches, lumps, doohickies-hell, his eyes would have so swollen, he would have barely been able to open them. That boy wouldn't know what the truth was if it ran him over in a greyhound bus.

But he wasn't. But if we listened to his brother... he was nearly a corpse.

9. Did Zimmerman really go to the hospital the next day as he claimed?

There would be a record of that. A severe head injury and cuts and bruises would not go away in 24 hours. Yes, a hospital would have performed a CATSCAN for any kind of severe head trauma. He not only could have a concussion but also bleeding in the brain which could cause a stroke.

His story gets more off the radar as it goes on.
