On Tuesday afternoon, a judge set a $9,000 bond for Zimmerman and directed that he have no contact with his alleged victim, not leave the state of Fla., and not possess any firearms or ammunition as he awaits an arraignment on domestic violence charges.

Dressed in a gray jumpsuit, Zimmerman appeared in a Sanford, Fla. courtroom the day after being arrested for allegedly pointing a shotgun at his girlfriend during an altercation in her Apopka, Fla., home. He is charged with aggravated assault, battery, domestic violence and criminal mischief

He must wear an electronic monitoring bracelet until his arraignment on Jan. 7, 2014.

"So did he get set up?? Just thinkin’"

I'm thinking not intentionally set up.

But I'm thinking that he is an easy target and everyone knows it. Including anyone he has a lover's quarrel with.

One of the stories about this incident was that the girl friend was threatening to call the police before Zimmerman pointed the gun at her. It sounds to me like she was threatening to file a false report and Zimmerman threatened her in response, stupidly giving her a legitimate report to file.

Is that for real?? Wow

Did it also include that she is demanding he have a multi millin dollar life insurance policy with her as the beneficiary?

I don’t know what’s in the papers but he now has to hire a divorce attorney to help him maneuver his way through divorce court or sign the papers which I’m sure are not in his favor — and I doubt that being $2.5 million in debt that he has the money for a divorce attorney or for life insurance premiums.

This whole thing smells like a “Chicago Style” set up if you ask me. Obama and his followers are experts at this sort of character assault. I’d like to see her recent bank transactions.

“Nothing like screwing up your chance at a clean break and a new life”

Exactly what I was thinking. With the blessing of a second chance that he was given, how difficult would it have been for him to walk the straight and narrow for a decade or two?

I'm not trying to make fun of world hunger. Matter of fact, I think I have the answer. You want to stop world hunger? Stop sending these people food. Don't send these people another bite, folks. You want to send them something, you want to help? Send them U-Hauls. Send them U-Hauls, some luggage, send them a guy out there who says, 'Hey, we been driving out here every day with your food, for, like, the last thirty or forty years, and we were driving out here today across the desert, and it occurred to us that there wouldn't BE world hunger, if you people would LIVE WHERE THE FOOD IS! YOU LIVE IN A DESERT! YOU LIVE IN A ***KING DESERT! NOTHING GROWS OUT HERE! NOTHING'S GONNA GROW OUT HERE! YOU SEE THIS? HUH? THIS IS SAND. KNOW WHAT IT'S GONNA BE A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW? IT'S GONNA BE SAND! YOU LIVE IN A ***KING DESERT! GET YOUR STUFF, GET YOUR S**T, WE'LL MAKE ONE TRIP, WE'LL TAKE YOU TO WHERE THE FOOD IS!

How do you get 'set up' into beating your pregnant girl friend? Did she force him into it or something?

I think one of my favorite lines of Sam’s was, “After my second divorce I said, “Hey! I’ll bet if I learn how to **** really good, I won’t have to give away everything I own every FIVE F*****G YEARS!”

Love that.

I was considering making this a facebook status, but my GF is really cool.

“”If I get married again, I want a guy there with a drum to do rimshots during the vows.”

She understands my kind of humor, I named my boat “Kelly’s Diamond” and she is still with me. :)

No, don't feel that way. GZ continues to need our sympathy and support. He was unjustly imprisoned for many months. It is very very difficult for a person who has been incarcerated for such a length of time to make the transition back to normal life. Initiative, self discipline, and good judgment are lacking; an explosive temper is the norm, even to the point of goading others to the point of uncontrollable rage. His behavior should be judged harshly at this point. He needs time. He is lost right now and it will take time for him to find his bearings again. It is not surprising his wife could not deal with him, probably only his mother can, and even she may well be driven to the point of wanting to wring his neck. I hope his mother and father will take him in, if they are still alive; he needs them badly.

...how difficult would it have been for him to walk the straight and narrow for a decade or two?

Probably not too difficult. He doesn't have much pressure on him. The POTUS spoke out against him. The U.S. AG investigated him and in spite of no findings against him from the DoJ the AG says he will continue to investigate him. U.S. Congressmen have spoken against him in the well of the House. Rick Santorum publically denounced him as crazy. The FL governor assigned a special prosecutor to bring charges against him. The special prosecutor did. The MSM has lied about and demonized him for nearly two years. Spike Lee tweeted his parent's address for psychos to find them. The NBPP issued dead or alive wanted posters on him. Not one LEA, prosecutor or politician in the country condemned that giving the impression that his assassination has been officially sanctioned. He's a quarter million dollars in debt.

He'll be fine. He should sail through life.

I meant to say his behavior should NOT be judged harshly. Also, I wanted to add, if he can find really good emotional support from this point, and keep out of jail, he will right himself in a few years, and be the person he used to be, except of course a little older and wiser.
