Swaggering George Zimmerman grinned after he collected his personal items from a police station - and walked out side by side with the girlfriend he was charged with attacking. The couple were pictured smiling broadly while leaving Sanford Police Department together where they both picked up their belongings which had been confiscated by detectives.

<p>I have been observing and writing about the George Zimmerman digital lynching from very early on. As I monitor and write about self defense stories, I caught an early version of the events in Sanford, Florida. The story said that a black teenager had been shot in self defense. A picture was included. Reading the story, I concluded that the picture was that of the black teenager that had been shot. I was wrong. The picture was of George Zimmerman.</p>

The painting is the first work by Zimmerman, who was acquitted in Martin's death, but it's not the first by a notorious character more famous for his crimes than his art.

George Zimmerman, who is now a free man again after girlfriend Samantha Scheibe declined to press charges for an alleged domestic abuse in November, will be getting his guns and ammo back. Zimmerman vaulted into notoriety when he killed an unarmed black teen, Trayvon Martin, in Febuary 2012 in Florida. He was acquitted of wrongdoing by a jury in September 2013, but has gotten into trouble multiple times since then, such as getting pulled over for speeding three times, and after spats with both his wife and his girlfriend. Since Scheibe refused to testify against Zimmerman after initially saying Zimmerman...

ROCK HILL • Sitting inside a Starbucks, sipping black coffee, joking with the baristas, Dan Zimmerman doesn’t look like a gun guy. He looks like a guy who might work in accounts receivable, which is what this Olivette resident did for years. He is 53, balding, wearing tortoise shell glasses, carrying a little extra weight and dressed in the beige tones of business casual. He smiles easily. He is working on a laptop at a back table. He also might be packing heat. Could be his .38 snubby. Maybe his Kahr 9 mm. He won’t say. “I really don’t talk...

THERE THEY were, just below Martha Stewart and Paula Deen and Allure in the magazine rack at the supermarket: the gun periodicals. I bought three. Back at the place where I was staying — this was in upstate New York, a week ago — I pored over the ads and the editorial content, trying to understand what they were saying, and to whom. First, they want you to buy a gun. It will probably not be your first gun; it will be an addition to, and an improvement on, the gun or guns you already own. It may deliver “precision...

Florida prosecutors say they will not file domestic violence charges against George Zimmerman after he was arrested in an incident with his girlfriend last month. Zimmerman, who was acquitted earlier this year in the highly-publicized murder trial of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, had faced charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief following the Nov. 18 incident at the central Florida house he shared with Samantha Scheibe. Schiebe told authorities Zimmerman had threatened her with a gun, but in a sworn affidavit last week recanted her claims, and asked for the charges to be dropped.

Last month, Samantha Scheibe called 911 to report that Zimmerman had pointed a shotgun at her face during a domestic disturbance sparked after she asked the former neighborhood watchman to move out of her house. The 911 call from last month’s incident captures Scheibe yelling at Zimmerman, “You point your gun at my fricking face.” Scheibe said that Zimmerman also pushed her...

Saying that she was not coerced, Samantha Scheibe wants the charges against her boyfriend, George Zimmerman dropped. Zimmerman was arrested in November after Scheibe accused him of pointing a gun at her, smashing a coffee table and pushing her. She doesn't want him charged with aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief, and that the detectives misinterpreted what she said. In the affidavit, she calls Zimmerman ``my boyfriend''. Prosecutors may continue with the case despite her request. Zimmerman was acquitted of any crime last summer in the shooting death of teen Trayvon Martin.
