How predictable was this? Since George Zimmerman was acquitted of charges connected to the death of Trayvon Martin, he has been involved in three encounters with the police. The latest one includes allegations that he threatened his wife and her father with a gun:
“Lake Mary (FL) police say they were called around 2:30 p.m. to the Sprucewood Road home of Shellie Zimmerman’s parents, David and Machelle Dean. According to Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell, Shellie Zimmerman called 911 claiming George Zimmerman had a gun and was making threats.”
Zimmerman’s wife, Shellie, recently filed for divorce. While neither party has commented publicly regarding today’s incident, it would not be much of a stretch to entertain the notion that the divorce proceedings and an armed threat might be connected. Zimmerman’s temperament is justifiably questionable after having killed an unarmed teenager in a scuffle that produced a couple of minor scratches, but which Zimmerman characterized as life threatening.
There is, of course, the possibility that this is all a publicity stunt to promote Zimmerman’s new Fox News program “Stand Your Ground.”
When the jury’s verdict was delivered, many observers regarded it as a miscarriage of justice. However, there are probably few fair-minded people who would be surprised that Zimmerman’s post-verdict behavior has been wrought with legal controversy. He got off scot-free after shooting and killing an innocent kid. But that did not change his demeanor or his predilection for violence. This latest incident is a warning that this man is a powder keg, and should be closely monitored and prohibited from carrying a weapon of any kind.
I wonder what his friend Sean Hannity has to say about this? Poor George is being framed again by that liberal media for reporting this factual story.
What a fuckin surprise.
Stand your ground, Jesus Christ that’s funny.
His soon to be ex-wife should have shot him and claimed stand your ground law. I mean if someone has a gun and threatens you and your family, would you not be standing your ground by shooting them in the face?
Just a thought.
PS – as for the divorce… let’s see you have her lie on the stand for you, then after said and done she now has a record and has to do community service due to it… yep, I’m with her on that, I would kick him to the curb too.
UPDATE: There was no gun.
You are talking about two separate incidents. You can’t spout this malarkey about “Zimmerman committed spousal abuuse and therefore he is guilty of shooting Trayvon Martin”.
George Zimmerman is no angel. That was made clear long ago. But the trial verdict was the correct one. The prosecution didn’t even come close to proving their case.
“…shooting and killing an innocent kid…”
You keep ignoring the broken nose and gashes to the back of Zimmerman’s head.
Umm…His attorney confirmed that he had a gun.
Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior.
