George Zimmerman Back In News Again

[teewee1432]

(CNN) -- George Zimmerman was detained after his estranged wife told 911 that he had threatened her and her father with a weapon, Lake Mary, Florida, police told reporters Monday.
Zimmerman was being cooperative, Lake Mary police spokesman Zach Hudson said.
Shellie Zimmerman, who filed for divorce last week, called 911 just after 2 p.m. ET, Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell said. She told police that George Zimmerman was inside the house with a gun and was threatening her family, the chief said.
Bracknell added that Shellie Zimmerman claimed her husband "battered her father," according to the call report. It was unclear if he received medical treatment from first responders from the fire department.
George Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, told CNN, "There was heightened emotion, and a disagreement took place."
O'Mara said his client wasn't taken to police headquarters but was being questioned near the house, which is owned by his father-in-law, David Bryant Dean.
Bracknell said that as of 4 p.m., Shellie Zimmerman had yet to give a sworn statement to police, but she had spoken with her attorney.
The incident comes two months after Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, was found not guilty of murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida.
Hudson said earlier that police are following procedure by placing Zimmerman in investigative detention.
"Anytime we have anybody suspected of doing anything, we place them in investigative detention until a complete investigation has been done," Hudson said.
George's brother, Robert, tweeted after his brother's detention that the public shouldn't "jump to conclusions."
Shellie Zimmerman filed for divorce last week in Seminole County, her attorney told CNN at the time.

 

[Teelie]

I wonder how many people who supported Zimmerman are now questioning themselves or if they are trying to justify his latest incident in their minds.

He's showing a pattern of bad decisions in his life.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Well, there's no question that he's an idiot.

 

[Schlosser85]

Zimmerman definitely seems not only a moron, but violence-prone.

Troubling in light of the Martin incident.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Yes, I think it's inevitable that he'll wind up in jail. Or you know, dead.

Incompetence, guns, and an attitude aren't a good combination.

 

[SV Fan]

Zimmerman definitely seems not only a moron, but violence-prone.

Well it's Florida if anything happened he could just claim he was defending himself

 

[Duran Man]

He will go the way of OJ.

The latter.

The comments section in the article that I read that I was gonna post (but was beaten to the punch) people were already defending Zimmerman, attacking the character of Trayvon Martin (still), and justifying his actions against his soon to be ex-wife.

Just proving more and more that he is exactly who I thought he was.

 

[Pink Ranger]

He will go the way of OJ.

Not sure if he will be arrested in an armed robbery of his own sports memorabilia.

 

[Duran Man]

I meant he'll go to prison for some other crime, not the one for which he is more known and was acquitted.

This is exactly the kind of thuggish behavior I expected Zimmerman to fall back into once he beat the charges. He has a history of violence that began before he killed Trayvon Martin. Someday he's going to kill someone that his lawyers can't dirty up in court. Probably sooner rather than later.

 

[Mistah K88]

Welp it's time to do a criminal background test and drug test on Zimmerman's wife and her father...also you better look through their facebooks (provided that they have one) to prove that they were thugs.

At least Casey Anthony knew how to stay out of the news...

Don't tempt her now.

[Pink Ranger]

Don't see the inconsistency. This is a fundamental underlying premise behind the individual gun rights lobby and the stand your ground law and their related ilk: get the government off my back and out of my house, and if I want to threaten my wife with a gun, that's "family business" and the state has no business interfering. No surprise this happened.

if she pops out a soccer team of kids, she could steal Octo-Mom's spot.

 

[ShadowBoxer]

It also proves that he is an idiot and a murderer. Clearly, he intentionally killed Trayvon. He didn't show any remorse for the killing whatso ever. Even his wife says he felt invincible after he was set free, disgusting.

 

[chaseter]

Zimmerman and the Blade Runner need a reality show.

Zimmerman and the Blade Runner need a reality show.

Lock 'em in a house with a cricket bat and two guns and see who comes out alive.

 

[D.P.]

He will go the way of OJ.

This exactly.

 

[Sawyer]

Lock 'em in a house with a cricket bat and two guns and see who comes out alive.

And then shoot the winner when they open the door.

Better yet, Zimmerman and Pistorius both mistake each other for burglars and gun each other down in a hail of bullets. Then their supporters could spend decades debating which one of them was more innocent than the other. With no witnesses other than the two dead perps that could go on forever.

 

[Teelie]

Zimmerman's lawyer drops him. won't defend or represent him in future cases. Although he's naturally still representing him against Florida in the quest to recoup money expended on the trial. Big pay out there if they're successful.

That would be a tough call for the pro-vigilante crowd. One one hand, Zimmerman is technically part of a dark-skinned minority group, but at least he's American. Pistorious is completely white, but is an evil foreigner from Lethal Weapon 2. Quite the conundrum for the fortress-under-seige crowd.
