ANYBODY WHO LISTENS TO ANY OF THIS NONSENSE ABOUT TRAYVON MARTIN BEING THE PROBLEM AND GEORGE ZIMMERMAN BEING THE SAFETY FUNCTION...IS BATTY.
ANYONE WHO WRITES IT...DOESN'T GET QUITE THAT HIGH.
One also has to wonder why they have such a compelling need to keep promoting this crap, beside their own love of guns and their reflexive need to defend a shooter.
The trial is long over and nothing these yo-yos say will change anyone's personal perception regarding Zimmerman's character or moral innocence. Like O.J. and Casey Anthony, many will continue to see him as someone who got away with murder. And that view is not without some validity, something these mindless "supporters" cannot acknowledge at all.
And, most tellingly, these "supporters" cannot focus on Zimmerman's behavior since his acquittal, particularly his behavior that has involved run-ins with the police.
Zimmerman's behavior since his acquittal is totally at odds with a picture of a responsible law-abiding citizen.
He's been stopped by the police 3 times--twice for speeding and once for driving with his license tags intentionally obscured. These are not the actions of someone concerned with public safety, or making sure that laws are abided by.
The police were called to his home, in response to a 911 call, because he showed up there when he had agreed not to, and his wife alleged he had hit her father in the face, and he was making menacing gestures toward what appeared to be a concealed gun, and she feared what he might do next. A video taken by someone else at the house shows Zimmerman destroying the iphone on which his wife says she had captured the images of what he had been doing--police are still trying to have the phone repaired and they are still considering charging him with destruction of evidence. Photos taken of Shellie Zimmerman's father, after the police arrived, do show an injury on his nose.
Zimmerman had provoked the entire encounter at the home by appearing there after he had agreed not to be there. Just as he provoked the entire encounter with Trayvon Martin by stalking him in the dark, something he shouldn't have done either. He has a consistent pattern of behaving recklessly in a way that provokes aggressive confrontations with others, and that was true even before the incident with Martin.
The latest report that he placed a bullet-ridden target on the wall of his home, where his wife would find it after returning from New York, where she had given interviews about her fears of what he might do to her, is very unsettling, particularly in light of what followed with her 911 call, because it is yet another example of his provocation, and his need to intimidate and control, and his use of violence, or threats of violence, to achieve that aim.
Why aren't these "supporters" concerned about Shellie Zimmerman's welfare or safety from this man? He shot and killed the last person he claimed "threatened" him, and now his wife is "threatening" him, and his reputation, by her comments regarding her own fears of him and what he might be capable of, and his reaction is to provoke the situation even more, and to try to control her by reminding her of his gun, and its power. That's also what he did at the home the day she called the police.
Wives are in the most danger when they try to leave abusive and controlling spouses--that is when they are more likely to be killed. And Zimmerman's actions toward his wife are very troubling and should be cause for concern, particularly because he's the one who can't keep away from her--he was not supposed to be at the house the day she arrived to remove her belongings.
And, let's not forget that Shellie Zimmerman walked out on George the day before he killed Trayvon Martin, and we don't know whether that event intensified both his anger and his need to control when he spotted that innocent teen the following night, a kid who was minding his own business and just talking on his cell phone.
It's time the "supporters" stopped re-hashing their own, highly selective, view of the criminal murder case, along with their vilification of Trayvon Martin, and moved on to consider his actions since the trial ended. There are too many indications that Zimmerman poses a possible threat to others, particularly to his wife. And, given the rather bleak outlook for his own future, and ability to earn a living, it is not difficult to imagine a possible murder/suicide where he would end both their lives.
What's past is past, the important matter now should be to try to prevent future tragedies he might cause, based on the red flags we can already see, if that's at all possible. His "supporters" should take a look at those red flags--they're waving very clearly.
