According to Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell, Shellie Zimmerman called 911 claiming George Zimmerman had a gun and was making threats.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Zimmerman&#8217;s wife, Shellie, recently filed for divorce. While neither party has commented publicly regarding today&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>There is, of course, the possibility that this is all a publicity stunt to promote Zimmerman&#8217;s new Fox News program <em>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=10149\" target=\"_blank\">Stand Your Ground<\/a>.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/FoxNews\/zimm-stand-ground.jpg\" alt=\"Fox News - George Zimmerman\" \/><\/center><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>When the jury&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How predictable was this?
