I have no doubt that Zimmerman has some "issues". But, I believe it is simply his choice in mates: he's apparently attracted to ones that have their own issues. He might be trying to help them, or he might find other qualities attractive. But, he has certainly made some poor choices.
You may remember that in both of the earlier domestic violence arrested, the charges were dropped -- because the accusers recanted. By their own admission, they were lying at some point, one way or another.
And in this case, no call to police was made at all. Zimmerman was arrested only after the accuser was stopped for a traffic violation, and she told the officer about a alleged thrown wine bottle. Why did she wait until then? Was she trying to get sympathy from the officer?
As others have posted, George has a target on his back -- both literally and figuratively. He has to learn to walk a very narrow line, and avoid people that will make life more difficult for him.
But most of all, he has to learn to avoid a domestic confrontation. The odds are stacked against men in domestic violence cases, and they are especially stacked against George. He can't win, so he has to recognize the red flags before things escalate and either defuse it or end the relationship.
Here’s the important question ... do all of these incidents that involve George Zimmerman’s brushes with the law give us an indication that he really was the aggressor against Trayvon Martin and that he actually got away with the murder of a teenager?
I ask because THAT is what men like Al Sharpton are going to argue.
I didn’t miss that one officer was terminated. One officer being terminated doesn’t mean that he/she or any of the other officers lied about what happened in 2005.
The charges were dropped in return for him entering an anti-alcohol abuse program. This is very common. I have a sibling who, many years ago, agreed to go through a similar program in return for charges being dropped. The defendant must pay for the program; it seems to be a money-maker for police departments.
As for the arrests for domestic violence, in my opinion, where there’s smoke, there’s probably a fire. It just doesn’t make sense that all of these people - the officers, the girlfriends, and the wife - have been lying, especially since it all began before the Trayvon Martin case.
