[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;42138398]What do you mean by that? Is there something else I should know about that I missed?[/QUOTE]
She claims George punched her dad in face. Paramedics check Dad out, completely fine. Police find nothing to support her claims. George is willing to turn over his security footage. George had a bodyguard with him.

[QUOTE]the female doesn't usually report the crime or press charges out of fear. [/QUOTE]
Is complete and utter bullshit. In America, when it comes to Domestic cases, most states will charge you even if the victim doesn't want to. She didn't press charges because there was no fucking crime committed. The police [I]detained[/I] him for questioning and guess what, no charges because there was no crime.
[QUOTE=mobrockers;42133340]All he did? That's a pretty big statement. "shut up or else".[/QUOTE]
as someone who frequently carries a handgun, I can tell you that the gun is a natural place to rest your hand. it's a huge protuberance on the side of your hip.
tomorrow when you're out and about, count how many times you rest your hand in the general area of where a handgun would be. Whether it's in your pocket, on your belt loop, or simply on your hip
not saying that the intent definitely wasn't there, just that you shouldn't jump to conclusions like that

and the gun can even serve as a makeshift armrest
[QUOTE=Nestophales;42137729]Do you need it spelled out for you?
She makes all these claims of threats, him brandishing his firearm, assaulting her father. Police find nothing, Paramedics find nothing wrong with the dad, and Zimmerman is willing to turn over footage to prove he's innocent, and he has a potential witness to dispute the claims. In light of all that she doesn't pursue charges after talking with an attorney because guess what, none of it ever happened.
How can you not see she's lying, it's clear as fucking day.[/QUOTE]
No it isn't?
She isn't pressing charges, and the dad didn't go with the paramedics, but it doesn't mean that zimmerman didn't brandish or reach for a gun, that the property damage didn't occur, or that the dad wasn't physically struck by zimmerman.
You were talking about domestic violence earlier like you're an expert so you of all people should know that in most domestic abuse cases the victim does not press charges.
Paramedics aren't going to force someone to come with them for minor injuries nor are the police going to arrest someone when no charges are filed and the only info they have is that it was a mutual argument

Paramedics checked the dad out on the scene. She claimed he hit her dad in nose. Unless Zimmerman hits with the strength a 3 yr old, there is going to be physical evidence that he struck an old man in the face. Paramedics found nothing. She's not pressing charges because she's fearful, shes not pressing charges because there is NOTHING TO CHARGE. The same reason the state isn't pressing charges, NOTHING TO CHARGE.
How can you not fucking comprehend this.

Maybe he should stop getting into domestic disputes with his wife.
guys what the fuck are we doing
this isnt even news. zimmerman is not news. his life is not news.
this country's media, this entire thread
just what the fuck are we even
We should send Zimmerman to foreign countries to sabotage their shit, he seems to get out of getting blamed for his actions often

Yeah, fuck it, I ain't posting in Zimmerman threads anymore. Shits done. He was found not guilty. I don't care anymore. Peace and chicken grease.

Fair enough, although in the OP's article there's a quote from an officer saying that in her statements to him, she claimed that his hand was reaching for where his gun normally was. There's nothing to disprove this, or anything else, as the surveillance footage hasn't even been reviewed by the police yet. They still say they reserve the right to press charges should the footage show anything.
To be honest, this sounds like her attempt to make things go in her favor for the divorce.
Especially after the New York Times article.

[QUOTE=ParkerChace;42133651]-_- the fact of the matter is that this is his second very serious gun-oriented action he has made not even a year apart.[/QUOTE]
golly gee you should be the prosecutor you have aaaaaaaaaaalllllll the evidence and the case figured out!!! why do they pay those guys in suits when PARKERCHACE can solve it in a heartbeaaat??
completely possible reasoning on not pressing charges in the end (barring the alleged surveillance tape evidence)
• Zimmerman's lawyers are likely paid for by the NRA because Zim's a massively hot topic in gun control conversation right now and anything negative against him would shit on his usefulness
also what's up with some of you always bawwing about "oh no something happened in zimmerman's life again better alert the news!!" like the things happening to him are commonplace and not newsworthy. Yes, there's a shitton of conspiracies and such, but things like this aren't ignorable. He's on a grand stage and a mistake will cost him a lot of credibility and (again) lose his power as an ideological pawn, so if he DOES pull something (that by all means [i]shouldn't happen[/i]), a lot of people are going to want to know the details, cross their fingers and hope the truth is in their favor, and as such evaluate how it affects the views he represents on either side of the discussion

makes sense that he would visit the factory of the gun he used to kill martin if this is the case; that's the exact type of tactless bullshit that the NRA's been known to pull

Why would they do that? It would be a gigantic scandal if it any word of that got out.

Actually, saying that he's unstable or something like that would give her a good piece of leverage to obtain a larger monthly settlement if she chooses to ask for that.
Its a divorce proceeding, those are never clean/mess free.
Then again, he could legitimately be so paranoid he has become violent and at that point he needs to go to someplace safe/would help him mentally.

Hopefully not to Africa
It's not possible to jimmy the Simmerman
You have to understand she was forced to have a life insurance policy on him with her as the benefeciary
It was self defense. She came at him with skittles and an arnold palmer
