Default George Zimmerman charged with felony after allegedly pointing gun at girlfriend

http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/18/justic...merman-arrest/

This obviously doesn't prove anything about the martin case but it does prove my nagging suspiscion about him being a complete arse.

So this is the third one of his ladies who have called out the police and claimed that he is a violent dickhead

I agree, proves nothing in the Martin case, all evidence showed Martin was an over aggressive little wannabe thug.However, in light of yet another incident with Zimmerman, something is up.PTSD from the whole murder trial perhaps? Stress etc? Obviously needs some help.That is one thing our own system seems to ignore, that is causes emotional stress etc often times.I had a DUI one time and the process is extremely stressful, and dehumanizing.I could not imagine the time he spent in jail, wondering if he would crucified for a murder charge due to politics.I hope he gets help, he obviously needs it.

Bubbles, if his violent behaviour is a result of PTSD why does his history of violent behaviour predate the shooting incident?

I don't know of any really violent behavior before this.Martin incident was self defense, does not mean he is a violent person.The alleged fight and resisting arrest thing where charges were dropped if I recall.Well I know from work experience and observing many cases the 98 percent of "Resisting Arrest" charges are actually "contempt of cop", and many are dismissed.I would say it is possible he had a problem before, but the whole Martin incident exacerbated the problem.I hope he gets some help, think it's unfair he was given no bond for an assault charge? such garbage.

According to that article there's not much proof of anything in this case either. Just her word.

True, and I have always supported him, as his life was needlessly turned upside down due to racial politics, he was clearly justified under Florida law, which is why he was not originally arrested.This is likely to workout for him, hope he gets himself straight and moves out.A new name, appearance change and move far away from Florida is likely his best option.

But is it coincidental multiple women and multiple incidents with Zimmerman all sound the same? Hes been accused of essentially the same thing and the same attitude before multiple times. Is it all a conspiracy?

AFAIK he's been accused of this by just one other woman, his ex-wife. Those allegations apparently didn't stick and unless there is more to it than the article mentions neither will these I think.

Does this line of reasoning apply to others as well? Bill Clinton for instance?

Bubbles. If you recall he copped a plea and got put on anger management lessons which they give some violent people.
What about the restraining order?

Martin incident was self defense
OJ was innocent too?

But Ex-wives/girlfriends would never lie about something like that just to get even or something towards someone they are angry with. That would be wrong.

It's obvious GZ has issues and I'm sure his life hasn't been the same, but I don't equate any of his actions with the Martin case. The one fact there is he didn't shoot until Martin was on top of him beating him up, so I believe the verdict was correct.

I do see a dark future for GZ, he is marked in many ways and life will be difficult. People know being around him can and will get them in the news and on talk shows....

All I know is I just won a bet I made when GZ wsa acquitted; it was the same bet (different person) I made about OJ Simpson. The cowardly criminal thug in each of them has won out and the world would be better off without them on our streets...
