@hawkeye10,
Quote:one very large problem is that these women who make claims against George have known him for many years, have chosen to continue to know him and even live with him over years, and never say anything bad about him till the end. this indicates to me that George is not a constant abuser, that what he have is a guy who does break ups badly, or chooses women who do, or both.
What difference does it make whether he's a constant abuser, or whether his aggression, and need to control, escalates during breakups? A woman is more likely to get killed when she tries to separate from a controlling domestic partner. He didn't own a gun when his ex-fiancée got a restraining order against him, but now, within two months, both his estranged wife and current girlfriend have alleged he threatened them with a gun. That's going beyond taking break-ups "badly"--he's trying to terrorize them. That sort of threat has to be taken very seriously.
And the killing of Trayvon Martin occurred the day after his wife walked out on him after a bad argument. We'll never know how much that affected his anger, and his need to control, when he spotted Martin that night. Martin may well have been the victim of Zimmerman's pathology, the same sort he's displayed recently toward his wife and girlfriend, using a gun as a threat. That's why I believe that Zimmerman indicated he had a gun, or actually revealed his gun, when he confronted Martin, and that what ensued between them was a struggle over the gun, with Martin trying to defend his own life. That's Zimmerman's pattern.
Quote:I have seen too many lying aggressive women who do bad stuff and then blame men to be willing to assume that they are telling the truth...
Shellie Zimmerman doesn't seem like that kind of woman. She stood by him when they were in hiding and during his trial, and she took a perjury rap for him. That sounds like a pretty loyal wife. She really didn't do "bad stuff" to him, other than decide to divorce him, and to give interviews describing her own feelings about him. She's entitled to do those things. But his threatening actions toward her increased after that, including the day she made her 911 call. He did have guns with him that day, and there is video of him destroying her ipad, which may have contained evidence which could have incriminated him and led to his arrest. So, she wasn't apparently making things up. She really doesn't have to.
Now that Shellie finally found her husband, she was able to have him served with divorce papers yesterday....
