George Zimmerman back in the news

Georgie Boy is really fond of handling his piece. Seems to regularly feel the need to defend himself with a gun.
He must be sorely lacking in other attributes.

This guy is a dandy. What is this now, his third encounter with police in the short period since his acquittal?

What is the deal with everyone and George Zimmerman

He was not guilty of the crime everyone cared about.
These are separate issues that only get peoples' blood boiling for nothing

Hes the Florida version of OJ.........you know "not guilty"...... . Forget the pro football contest. There should be an over/under on when he gets popped again. Knuckle draggers like this never learn, even when they get a "freebie". That just makes him bolder....The cops down there are as smart as "boss hogs"......."We didn't take his gun because it was in the vehicle" Yeah, i'm sure he didn't have time to stop waving it around to put it away and even if he didn't have it, i'm sure he wasn't implying that he did have one. Pure coward, what, was your wife and father-in-law going to beat the shit out of you like the kid did?

Juries make mistakes. It is beginning look like Zimmerman is going to do his best to prove this one of those times, much to the chagrin of the people who defended him.

On twitter they are saying his wife lied ......... two witnesses came forward and contradicted a few things she said............that's why he didn't get arrested.

If this was anybody else it wouldn't be news.

The guys wife is divorcing him. The rumors that she wants half the money he has received or she is going to have him put in jail..........might be true.......

Tough place to be for both of them..........btw........ would you arrest him on the word of someone (wife) who was just convicted of perjury?

Think about it............

The guy is a grade A douche in my opinion, but the jury got it right.

Police say Zimmerman offered up video surveillance evidence from his home for them to review...not sure a guy guilty of what his wife is claiming would be keen on doing such a thing...

Nah nah nah.. you didnt read the meat of the story
Last Thursday, she filed for divorce. In a divorce petition obtained by the Associated Press, she requested that her husband take out a permanent life insurance policy with her as beneficiary.
http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-...7.story?page=2

Now you tell me...she seems pretty evil and all about money to me...of course, she played along and lied about their funds etc (aka "stood by him"). If they have been married for less than 10 years and they have no kids together, demand for life insurance is completely inappropriate and offensive hinting that his days are numbered...which may or may not be true

This is in no way a defense of his behavior, whatever that may be, but...

If I were innocent having been through what he went through I'd probably be a very angry person.

This is all bullshit. She is looking for a payday... Not from GZ but from Oprah, Dr.Phil or somebody else that will give her a boatload of money for an exclusive interview.

The 911 call does not seem staged. Genuine fear seemed to be in his wife's
voice.

Just goes to show that you can't believe your own ears sometimes. Two eyewitnesses and purportedly Zimmerman's security camera say otherwise. Besides, she's already been found guilty for perjury just this year. Why not try for two.

The local police just gave a press conference on the case down here. Apparently the confrontation between George and his father in law was recorded by the wife on her Ipad. The Ipad was smashed and has been sent to a lab to see if the video can be recovered.
