The Lynching of George Zimmerman.

[The Mad Monk]

Thus making it even easier for him to put his hand on the weapon? It doesn't feel like you're helping your case any here.

...which brings us back to her seeing his hand on the gun...at his belt...behind a door...in a truck...which tends to sit rather high...

[Sava]

Seriously though

It's rather sick that you derive some sort of pleasure out of the fact that the realities of the legal system are being gamed by some murdering psychopath. Not that I should be surprised.

[Sava]

And it's a pretty safe assumption (and general public knowledge) that George Zimmerman is armed and dangerous.

Why don't the police leave the poor man alone???

MIAMI (AP) — Florida authorities say George Zimmerman, whose acquittal of murdering an unarmed black teen sparked a national debate on race and self-defense laws, has been arrested for allegedly throwing a wine bottle at his girlfriend.

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office says the 31-year-old Zimmerman was arrested for aggravated assault in Lake Mary about 10 p.m. Friday.

Zimmerman was released on a $5,000 bond Saturday afternoon. At a court appearance earlier Saturday, he was ordered to avoid contact with the woman, who was not identified.

Judge John Galluzzo gave few details of the incident, but said a wine bottle was involved and that the alleged assault happened at Zimmerman's Lake Mary home. Prosecutors questioned whether substance abuse treatment was needed, but the judge said that didn't seem to be a factor.

After the brief hearing, Zimmerman's attorney, Don West, told the Orlando Sentinel (http://tinyurl.com/me467wh) his client was arrested after allegedly throwing a wine bottle at his girlfriend several days ago.

Zimmerman was also told by the judge to stay out of Volusia County, where the woman lives.

The judge ordered Zimmerman to pack up any personal belongings his girlfriend may have left at Zimmerman's home and give them to his lawyer.

Zimmerman, who wore blue scrubs and handcuffs, appeared calm during the brief hearing. At one point, he laughed and joked with an officer as he signed paperwork.

Although the incident didn't involve a firearm, the judge ordered Zimmerman to surrender any weapons out of an abundance of caution.

Zimmerman is scheduled to appear back in court on Feb. 17.

No further details about the alleged assault were released. A message left for Seminole County Sheriff officials seeking further information about the incident was not immediately returned Saturday morning.

Zimmerman was acquitted in 2013 of a second-degree murder charge for shooting an unarmed teenager, Trayvon Martin.

Since his acquittal, Zimmerman has had several brushes with the law:

— He was arrested on charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief after his then-girlfriend said he pointed a gun at her face during an argument, smashed her coffee table and pushed her out of the house they shared. Samantha Scheibe decided not to cooperate with detectives and prosecutors didn't pursue the case.

— Zimmerman was accused by his estranged wife of smashing an iPad during an argument at the home they had shared. Shellie Zimmerman initially told a dispatcher her husband had a gun, though she later said he was unarmed. No charges were ever filed because of a lack of evidence. The dispute occurred days after Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers.

Poor guy - it was self defense. Where is the National Wine Bottle Association???

Yeah, Zimmerman's a common lowlife. But, unlike most common lowlifes, he's also unlucky enough to have gotten into an altercation that resulted in him killing an unarmed black kid for some reason.

Two facts:

1. There wasn't enough evidence to convict Zimmerman.
2. Zimmerman's still a ****head.

I wonder if conservatives will c on tinge to worship this guy like they did up thread in 2013?

[Dr Strangelove]

He has some major impulse control problems and he's armed. It's only a matter of time.

[Alexander's Horse]

speaking of impulse control, where is Sava?

I wonder if conservatives will c on tinge to worship this guy like they did up thread in 2013?

I don't remember anyone worshiping this guy. I remember people saying there wasn't enough evidence to convict him. I don't remember anyone saying they actually liked or admired the guy.

Liberals have poor memory skills. (see how silly generalizations sound)

[Alexander's Horse]

Zimmerman was a dufus.

I think the point many of us were making Dinner was these matters are best left to the courts, not trial by the media, be it the liberal or conservative media, which in my opinion are both as bad as each for witch-hunting.

Zimmerman proves he's not racist by calling President Obama an 'ignorant baboon'..

The confederate flag on his twitter is a nice touch.

He only has been arrest six more times since he killed that kid. Definitely an upstanding citizen.

[Sava]

he'll bite off more than he can chew, again, soon enough

[Uncle Sparky]

He only has been arrest six more times since he killed that kid. Definitely an upstanding citizen.

Reminds me of Damon Runyon's character 'Big Julie', "thirty-three arrests and no convictions."
