These things coming up about George Zimmerman remind me of the dirt people found on Randy Weaver. People don’t have to be saints to be found not guilty; they just have to be innocent of the crime.

I’ll withhold judgment on Zimmerman until all the facts come in, but even if the worst is true about these incidents since the acquital, I don’t regret my decision to support his defense. There was an important legal principle here: racial hysteria does not trump the facts of a case.

This was a BULLETIN — A BULLETIN! — on ABC Radio!

The media screaming, “See! We were right! We were right! He’s a bad man! See?”

Juveniles.

Police are investigating a “possible domestic battery” involving Zimmerman on Sprucewood Road, Lake Mary police Officer Zach Hudson said this afternoon. The police spokesman said it was his understanding that a gun was involved.

Hudson said the investigation is in its early stages, and it was unclear whether Zimmerman or anyone would be arrested. No significant injuries were suffered in the incident, Hudson said.

Zimmerman’s address became public last week after a Lake Mary police officer pulled him over on Rinehart Road and gave him a ticket for driving 60 mph in a 45-mph zone.

This might be more news worthy for the networks than Obama’s interviews.

Just guessing, wife and George got into a shouting match, she called cops, said he had a gun.

Probably never pulled gun and never threatened bodily harm to anyone.

Big BS smell on this.
Will have to say dumb George for setting himself up like this if that's the way it went down.

I have largely stayed out of the Zimmerman threads.

That being said, we are being given national news stories of everywhere he is, and suddenly he's getting speeding tickets every other day.

Now we get basic questioning turned into “investigative custody,” unsubstantiated use of the words “domestic abuse,” and vague references to a “gun.”

There are forces at work right now who absolutely will not stop until this man is destroyed or dead. He needs professional protection, and a constant witness with him when he goes anywhere.

George needs to change his name to the Spanish version: Jorge Camarero

I think he should go with the Peter Griffin version: Carlos Spicyweiner

...Well, as long as Anthony hasn't claimed it yet...

I would go with "Carlos Danger". Then the media would be on his side.

Police in a central Florida town say George Zimmerman was taken into custody Monday after his estranged wife reported that he was allegedly threatening her and her father with a gun.

GZ’s situation reminds me of the scene in Lawrence of Arabia when Lawrence is tossed back out into the street. Free to go, but... never a whole person after that.

This guy has got to have a pretty severe case of PTSD, with no apparent way of escaping from the valley of the shadow of Trayvon. The MSM is making sure of that.

I agree completely with your assessment and solution. I hope we’re both wrong about his degrading glidepath. Dude needs to disappear and wait for his payday.
