Police detain George Zimmerman after 911 call from wife [W:265]

Re: George Zimmerman in Custody After Gun Incident

Called it

In the 911 call, Shellie Zimmerman tells her dad to "get behind the car or something-I don't know if he's going to start shooting at us or something."

"He’s in his car and he continually has his hand on his gun and he keeps saying 'step closer' and he’s just threatening all of us," Shellie Zimmerman said in the 911 call, adding that George Zimmerman was "trying to shut the garage door" on her.

Better watch out for that fast moving garage door. I think that's assault with a deadly......door, or something.

Before this it was speeding a few times - police response doesn't get more vanilla than that.

Is it illegal to speed?

Of course he can argue she is a convicted criminal and convicted for lying while he has no convictions on his record.

Wake up and smell the coffee,there are lots of things that are reported wwhich are not important. The news business is not in the business to inform the public, its there to make a profit. People are interested in what George Zimmerman does, so it makes the news.

How exactly does that make sense. Like she provoked him into using a weapon?

Yeah, but why waste time finding out the other side of the story?

Well because there are many butthurt people after the court case who wish nothing but Zimmerman's death in what they deem as "justice".

Best question and reply so far out of the thee topics on this subject.

There is a term... "Arrested for driving while black". Some claim it prompts police response again and again. Can you put that together or do I need to spell it out for you?

I'm giving Zimmerman the benefit of the doubt here . . . temporarily.

Divorces turn ugly. One tries to outdo the other. In the divorce, his wife is asking for half of "future money," meaning any lawsuit he wins she wants to participate in. That makes people a little nutz.

I agree with Ockham. He needs to, at the very least, stay the HELL away from her and her family. He's in trouble if he doesn't. No one will have any reason to believe his version of any events that transpire with his soon-to-be ex.

He's like the poor sap on parole living with a gal who's a loser -- she'll use the fact that he's on parole to beat the crap out of him, lie about him, etc., etc. -- and she'll likely be belived.

I know. You are completely right. Not to mention, we are currently only getting her side of the story. And **** like this happens every day among couples going through divorce. h o w e v e r . . . it's not the first time he's been accused of domestic abuse. And whether people like it or not ... Zimmerman makes news. No matter what he does, it will be in the news. He recently got a speeding ticket and even that made the news. You can be sure this will, especially given Shellie's accusation that he threatened her with a gun and punched her father in the nose.

So I'm guessing you are in favor of a tyrant state where one is considered guilty the moment he/she is taken into police custody?

Estranged wife also reported that he cut her iPad with a box cutter.

I'm absolutely shocked this fine man would pull a gun and threaten to kill someone he is having an altercation with. His wife and father in law are obviously race baiters that deserved to be shot.

His wife wasn't straddling him raining down blows on his head and pounding it into the concrete

Once again you are in a rush to judgement without all the facts

That remains to be seen. Shellie claims he threatened her with one. Of course, she is a convicted liar. :eek:
 
Re: George Zimmerman in Custody After Gun Incident

So funny watching people defend this guy and give him every possible defense imaginable. I'm sure its just another tragic misunderstanding *wink* *wink*. This man is a model gun owner. He uses it against teenage boys and threatens to use it when his wife pisses him off. Sounds like he's making it safer everywhere he goes. I just hope he doesn't pet his dog with it, oops, just another "accident".

Of course they will focus on it for the same reason they focused on the Martin shooting... Because it appeals to their political beliefs.

They made a big deal out of the Martin shooting because they thought it was a racial hate crime, and they will focus on this to try and vindicate themselves for being so totally wrong on that.

Totally correct.

The difference is Martin got killed.

So I guess he shouldn't have threatened them with a gun huh? Wait... what are you even arguing towards? lol

Yeah lets get the facts, about he was scared for his life? His wife gave him a dirty look? Her step-father was making faces at him? I'm sure he was justified in whatever he did.... lol you guys crack me up.

Or maybe there are people out there who behaved like the guy was a personal friend and touted him as some kind of hero and noble victim when they in fact knew no more about the reality of who he is then they did about the reality of who TM was.

Really who of importance did so?
What large enough group did so to take notice?

The fact is, that hardly anybody made him out to be a hero.

Re: George Zimmerman in Custody After Gun Incident

I thought he had the right to defend himself in the Travon incident. I thought Trayvon shouldered most of the blame for his death. Now Zimmerman has proven he's an ass and he deserves whatever he gets. The guy has a problem.
