He certainly doesn’t appear to be a “white Hispanic” anymore. He has gone full Cholo.
He killed Trayvon Martin, but was acquitted of murder.
I was interested in seeing the details but they just cut the feed dangit...
Precisely. Given the same circumstances, Adolf Hitler would have been justified in shooting Trayvon Martin. There's no law of the cosmos dictating that victims must be simon-pure.
SANFORD —

The 31-year-old was booked around 9:45 p.m. on charges of aggravated assault and domestic violence with a weapon.

The judge granted Zimmerman a $5,000 bond and ordered that he surrender all firearms.
The judge also ordered that he have no contact with the victim.

It would not surprise me if shady types (perhaps women, since Zimmerman seems to have a weakness for certain kinds of women) aren't being paid to seek him out to trap him into a charge for which Zimmerman can be sent to jail.
A clarification: the officer was ATF. The charges were quickly dropped. According to Zimmerman:
"I was in an altercation with an undercover officer that was taking part in an ATF sting for underage drinking in UCF. He never told me he was an officer and assaulted me first. Shortly after that, in September 2005, the same unit was conducting a sting at UCF and an officer was killed by an OPD officer because he discharged his weapon and did not identify himself."
I read no criticism just the truth
Even I think I could push his buttons and provoke him to at least scream at me and throw things.
Very nice, informative and fact-filled post. So much better than those low-information FReepers pointing out that unjustified arrest as somehow being evidence of him being unstable or a demi-criminal.
I apologized in the next post. Apparently Florida has Sat bond hearings.
No need to apologize. I was just pointing out what was in
the posted article in that regards.
The Orlando Sentinal hates him... don't believe them.
He was released on $5000 bond.
He wasn’t being held without bond. He just didn’t have a bond hearing yet, since he had just been arrested.
He killed Trayvon Martin, but was acquitted of murder.
Would you feel better if he had just laid there and allowed St Skittles bash his brains out onto the pavement?
They are going to get Zimmerman one way or another.
It reminds me of the witch-hunt after the big “Veronica Plame” non-scandal.
Even though Plame was not a “Covert Agent” and they knew Richard Armitage “leaked” the info they had to convict a Bush insider (”Scooter” Libby).
The left needed their “pound of flesh” in response to Bill Clinton’s impeachment.
Very nice, informative and fact-filled post. So much better than those low-information FReepers pointing out that unjustified arrest as somehow being evidence of him being unstable or a demi-criminal.
While there is truth that “where there is smoke there is also fire,” sometimes the fire an act of arson by an outside player.
He never told me he was an officer and assaulted me first.
The ATF agent said that he did identify himself. The charges were dropped because Zimmerman agreed to enroll in an anti-alcohol program.
Below is from this source.
In July of 2005, FANNIN, LENT, GILMORE, FLEISCHMAN, and their Captain, GERMAN G0RZ0NE, who has since been terminated, performed an undercover operation at a bar near the University of Central Florida known as Knight's Library. During the operation, an underage undercover operator went into the bar, attempted to purchase, and was sold alcoholic beverages. As a result, multiple bar employees were removed from the establishment and placed under arrest.
While the state law enforcement agents were processing the prisoners, GEORGE ZIMMERMAN approached one of the prisoners and asked the prisoner what was going on. FLEISCHMAN informed ZIMMERMAN that he was a state law enforcement agent, showed ZIMMERMAN his badge, and told him to wait off to the side and FLEISCHMAN would explain to him what was going on after the agents were finished with the prisoners. ZIMMERMAN had an angry demeanor and told FLEISCHMAN that he did not care who he was. FLEISCHMAN attempted to escort ZIMMERMAN away from the scene. ZIMMERMAN then shoved FLEISCHMAN, at which point all of the agents on the scene pushed ZIMMERMAN onto the hood of FANNIN's car and placed him under arrest for battery on a law enforcement officer
Are we to believe that all of these officers and multiple girlfriends (plus his wife) all have been making up stories about Zimmerman, since long before the Trayvon Martin case?
The officer assault was against a plainclothes alcohol enforcer, and GZ said that at the time he didn’t know the guy was a cop, and after he found out, he allowed his friend to be “processed” without further incident. The charge was dropped, too.
