George Zimmerman arrested [again] on domestic violence charges

[NFS4]

Part of me thinks that the wife is just fucking with him (divorce is a bitch), but whatever. The police seem to love this guy

Channel 9 has confirmed George Zimmerman has been arrested on domestic violence charges in Seminole County on Monday.

The disturbance was at a residence on Topfield Court in unincorporated Apopka, although authorities haven't said what exactly happened.

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office said Zimmerman will be booked into the John E. Polk Correctional Facility.

No other details have been released.

George Zimmerman has made national headlines several times since his acquittal in July in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Stay with WFTV.com and tune in to Eyewitness News at 4 p.m. as we work to uncover more details.

Over the summer, authorities were called to domestic dispute involving Zimmerman and his wife, Shellie Zimmerman, shortly after she filed for divorce.

Shellie Zimmerman accused her estranged husband of punching her father and threatening them at the father's home on Ridgewood Road.

In the end, no charges were filed against Zimmerman in the case.

Zimmerman was also accused by his wife's mother of stealing property from her Lake Mary home, where Zimmerman had been staying.

Police are reviewing the case to determine if it will be a civil or criminal matter.
Zimmerman was also pulled over twice for speeding, once in Texas where he was let off with a warning and another time in Lake Mary, where he was issued a $256 ticket.

And he drew controversy for visiting the Kel-Tec gun manufacturing company in Cocoa, where he toured the facility and posed for a photo with a worker at the plant.

Sounds more and more like Shelie is calling the cops as often as she can to put as much "doubt" into Zimmerman before the official divorce goes through so she can get as much out of the break up as she can. Common tactic that under most circumstances doesn't garner national headlines.

Yea...until there are details I am not too interested.

Unless it involves the UN pressing charges. That would be cool.

The only people who seem interested in following Zimmerman are those who believe he got away with murder and this is a type of "second place prize" in their own lives.

Otherwise, why should this interest anyone?

If that's the case he should just stay away from her.

Apparently it doesn't involve is (ex?) wife. Current girlfriend reportedly.

As someone who forcefully supported the "not guilty" verdict, I'm pretty disappointed in this guy right about now.

Fact is, the evidence, the witnesses, the law... all spoke very clearly that the verdict was correct, and charges shouldn't have even been brought.

However, there is no denying at this point that GZ himself a fucking dumbass. A hotheaded, short tempered, violent manchild with a laundry list of character flaws.

He should have treasured his freedom after getting acquitted, it should have been like the scene at the end of Shawshank where Andy is driving toward the Pacific down in Mexico, with the top down in his red convertible.

Instead, this motherfucker is still lingering around Florida. When he should be in Peru or working as a ranch hand in Montana or something. Maybe meditating on a fucking mountain in Tibet, I don't know.

And from what I've heard, this gf who called the cops on him may be the fiancee he had a dual restraining order with years ago. Now that's even more stupid... getting back together with someone who, for all you know, has been encouraged by the media to try to reignite the flame with you and get them "the inside scoop" or who just wants a piece of your infamy... or whatever. Someone you've had established problems with in the past. So fucking dumb.

As fun as it might be to see the people who want his head on a pike be disappointed again as he spends like one night in jail, I don't think that's in the cards this time. TMZ is saying their reliable LEO sources they've used on Zimmerman cases for a while are telling them this was his pregnant girlfriend, making it an automatic felony and that he isn't even eligible for bail.

Such "automatic felony" laws are retarded if all he did was shove her or slap her or something, and I would hope they require a certain level of serious injury or something.

Regardless, I expect he's going to do some actual time on this. For his colossal failure to appreciate his freedom, and properly take advantage of it, I can't say he doesn't deserve it.

Just don't let anyone forget: no matter how big a hotheaded piece of shit Zimmerman is, he ran into a bigger one last February.

He's a fucking idiot. He won't be carrying a gun anymore, and it's hard to argue with that now.

It's difficult to keep supporting an idiot.

 

[classy]

Why is anyone surprised? This was his MO before Trayvon and this is the same MO after Trayvon. The only difference is he wasn't famous till after he killed the kid who beat him in a fist fight. I said from the very beginning this man was a total dirtbag.

From the Travyon Martin case, guilty of murder or not, it was obvious the guy lacks the ability to make good decisions. I expect more of this in the future.

Only when swallowing the media's incorrect understanding of how events transpired.

When one learned the full details of the timeline, the layout, and what Zimmerman claimed went down (which was supported by witness testimony and the timeline) there really wasn't much, if any evidence of poor decision making on his part that night.

But there damned sure is plenty of evidence of it since his acquittal.

Wait, I am confused. I just read that Zimmerman is in jail currently for assaulting his pregnant girlfriend. Not his ex wife...

Here we go, found the news article. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/18/george-zimmerman-arrested_n_4297236.html

The guy thinks he has a Teflon shirt with respect to the police departments. Nothing will ever stick.

 

[classy]

LOL

No way he would have attacked Trayvon first, oh no, not this saint. He has put his hands on so many people it aint funny. Now he has roughed up this GF. So now let's recap, first GF, wife, police officer, and now his new gf. Does anybody with even a small amount sense now still believe he didn't try to rough up Trayvon?

 

[Geosurface]

George Zimmerman is a short tempered, hot headed, immature, violent idiot.

But in all those regards, Trayvon had him beat. Literally.

 

[Soundmanred]

He's not the best at making good decisions, that's for sure!

 

[classy]

Oh and I guess this woman is lying about him like the other 100 people who have said the same things about this ass clown.

Yea okay. I know what you are sitting there thinking, damn maybe Trayvon did have to defend himself. You'll never admit it, but you can clearly see this man is as he was portrayed by the defense, a thug.

Neither article says what he was arrested for beyond just a domestic incident or domestic disturbance (one article says incident and the other says disturbance). Usually if there was violence it would say violence. As far as we know it could be nothing more than a screaming match he had with his new girlfriend over how things are going.

Personally, I think he's an idiot for trying to have a girlfriend while going through a divorce and going through what he recently went through with national headlines. The divorce he has no control over, but getting mixed up with another woman that can add more complexities to his life at this point is just plain stupid.

 

[classy]

But look we all know what happened here. That baby in the womb attacked him and was slamming his head into the sofa. So he had to fight back.

The prosecution's star witness told a different story

No they don't. They always say domestic dispute. And rarely very rarely is the person arrested and held unless there was some type of physical contact.

Don't worry, I know he is your Jesus. Hey maybe he will come and lay hands on you and pray with you, lol

 

[Oldgamer]

He has been arrested and is sitting in jail. The police department will be issuing a press conference later today. He has been charged but they won't say untill their news conference what the charges are. I just saw this on the news.

Most if not all of GZ's incidents have not been clear, unidirectional situations. Every one of them has had some sort of nuance to it... though admittedly, we don't know of any nuance on this new one, other than the general rule that domestic situations don't tend to be Skeletor vs. He-Man but rather two stupid pieces of shit acting like adult children until one decides to use the police as leverage, usually the woman. That's not to say there aren't some (plenty) of DV situations which really are one person being the total piece of shit, with the other one being relatively innocent. That may be the case here, we don't know.

But let me grant for the sake of discussion, your premise... GZ is a violent, aggressive douche with a track record to prove it. Okay...

But it's not so simple to just jump from there to "so he almost certainly tried to rough up Trayvon!" - keep some things in mind:

1.) GZ knew police were en route, and in fact summoned them.

2.) On the call, GZ had clearly given up any hope of direct contact with Trayvon, and there's no reason to think he EVER desired direct contact. The whole call was the tale of a dude *observing* another dude. He made no attempt to engage Trayvon directly when he had the best possible opportunity. When Trayvon was right next to his car. Possibly twice.

3.) Trayvon's own friends and family were exasperated with his inability to control HIS violent impulses, and his perpetually getting in fights at school etc. There were texts from his friend(s) basically saying "dude really? you're fighting AGAIN?" and even "oh so you're a hoodlum now? you'd better watch out or you're going to get one planted in your chest" (prophetic)

So let's say we have two violent, hair-trigger hotheads. How do we determine which one attacked the other first?

Some things that help us to conclude it was Trayvon:

1.) His dominant position in the fight
2.) Where the witnesses heard the fight start, which indicates he returned to a place he'd last been 4 minutes prior, which demonstrates intent to confront
3.) Lack of injuries on him

So however bad of a husband or boyfriend GZ may be, the smart money is still on Trayvon having attacked first.
