    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Zimmerman detained

    Link to the worst/best thread on earth:

    Article:

    http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...artin/2788443/

    Police in Lake Mary, Fla., say they are holding George Zimmerman in "investigative detention" while they investigate what they describe as a 911 domestic violence call from his estranged wife.

    Deputy police chief Colin Morgan says Zimmerman, who was acquitted in the shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin in a case that put a spotlight on Florida's self-defense gun laws, is being held in handcuffs.

    Police were investigating a call from Shellie Zimmerman, who reported that he was threatening her and her father with a gun. She filed for divorce last week.

    The deputy chief said officers have not recovered a gun. "We haven't seen a gun. We have not recovered a gun that I know of,'' Morgan said.

    "It was between him and his wife and her father,'' Morgan said. "There were some allegations that there had been an assault but we could not confirm any of it. Witnesses do not want to speak to anyone until they speak to their lawyer.''

    The 911 call, which Morgan described as a "domestic violence call,'' came in around 2 p.m. Monday.

    Morgan said that when officers received the call, they understood it was from a house in the central Florida town where Zimmerman had been living.

    "Of course we knew that's where George Zimmerman lived,'' Morgan said in a phone interview with USA TODAY.

    "We've only heard one side of the story so far," Police Chief Steve Bracknell said, the Associated Press reported.

    Morgan said that Zimmerman was cooperative but has not spoken with police.

    "Zimmerman hasn't said anything,'' he said. "He's been cooperative but hasn't said anything.''

    Orlando TV station WKMG reports that Shellie Zimmerman's parents, David and Machelle Dean, live at the home.

    WKMG's SKY 6 helicopter of the scene shows at least a half-dozen police squad cars outside the house.

    In the divorce petition, Shellie Zimmerman says she and her husband separated a month after Zimmerman, who is Hispanic, was acquitted of any crime for fatally shooting Martin, a black teenager, last July. The verdict sparked protests across the nation.

    Zimmerman has been pulled over at least twice for speeding since his acquittal.

    Gonna try this with a fresh start and see what happens.

    Well, she already lied once. I'd laugh if he ended up incarcerated after everything though.

    PLEASE REMEMBER THAT HE IS HISPANIC, PLEASE.

    btw, I really hate that shit with mixed race people. As if white people are so great that only purebloods can claim it.

    Half-white/Half-hispanic? Better call yourself Hispanic (unless people can't tell you're not white)
    Half-white/Half-black? Better call yourself Black.
    Half-white/Half-Asian? Better call yourself Asian.

    My nigga, fuck that.
    tbh they shouldn't be able to claim any of it but if you can call him hispanic you can call him white, fuck the bullshit.

    As far as I am concerned Obama and Zimmerman are white.

    This is the most legit answer, since even combined they're not as good as white privileges.

    I think my favorite is:

    Check One:
    White/Non-native American
    Hispanic
    Native American

    My kids are 25% Native American, 25% Hispanic and 50% European Mix. Why do I only get to choose one?

    Also, I think they may have the right one this time Archi.

    The difference is the domestic dispute is him threatening a white woman

    edit:

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/nation...964_story.html

    George Zimmerman’s estranged wife Shellie Zimmerman called police Monday, saying that her husband had punched her father in the face and that he was threatening them with a gun. It is the most recent evidence of tensions between Shellie Zimmerman and her husband, who was acquitted two months ago in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin after a widely controversial murder trial. A few hours later, however, Shellie Zimmerman, who filed for divorce last week, told police that she did not see a weapon, and authorities will not press charges against her husband:

    Monday’s dispute involving the Zimmermans isn’t uncommon for a couple in the midst of a divorce, said his attorney, Mark O’Mara, who led the defense team that secured the jury’s not-guilty verdict. He said his client never threatened anyone with a gun and never punched his father-in-law.

    Shellie Zimmerman had collected most of her belongings from the house where both she and George had been staying until she moved out. But she had returned unexpectedly Monday to gather the remaining items and emotions got out of control, O’Mara said. Police talked to everyone about what happened, but neither side is pressing charges and no one was arrested.

    “I know the 911 tape suggests that Shellie was saying something but I think that was heightened emotions,” O’Mara said. “There may have been some pushing and touching. That happens a lot in divorce situations. ... Nobody was injured.” . . .

    Prosecutors, though, could still build a case based on surveillance video from cameras outside the house and also video from the squad cars of officers who responded. Florida law allows police officers to arrest someone for domestic violence without the consent of the victim.

    But for the time being, “domestic violence can’t be invoked because she has changed her story and says she didn’t see a firearm,” [Lake Mary, Fla. Police Chief Steve] Bracknell said.

    George Zimmerman has been involved with a domestic case at least once before. In 2005, Zimmerman’s former fiancee filed for a restraining order against Zimmerman, alleging domestic violence. Zimmerman responded by requesting a restraining order against his then-fiancee.
    Zimmerman has also been stopped twice for speeding since his acquittal. His wife said in an interview with ABC last week that she felt her husband was behaving recklessly.

    For opinion writer Jonathan Capehart, the recording of Shellie Zimmerman’s call to police recalled memories of the trial. He writes that although George Zimmerman appears to have a pattern of violent behavior, he has never faced legal consequences for it:

    “I’m really, really afraid,” she said. “I don’t know what he’s capable of. I’m really, really scared.” At one point, she yells at her father to “get back inside; George might start shooting at us.”

    Listening to the call, my thoughts went to Witness No. 9 in the Zimmerman case. She was the relative who called the Sanford Police Department just days after Zimmerman killed Trayvon on Feb. 26, 2012. During the call, she accused Zimmerman of being a racist, saying, “He would start something. He’s a very confrontational person. It’s in his blood. Let’s just say that.”.

    Since Zimmerman was acquitted in July, he has been in the news for touring the headquarters of the manufacturer of the gun he used to kill Trayvon and for two speeding violations. He was let off with a warning each time. Today, Zimmerman was not arrested, but he was questioned by police. And because Shellie and her father have declined to press charges against Zimmerman, he was free to go. “We have no victim, no crime,” Lake Mary police chief Steve Bracknell said.

    The night Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon he called the non-emergency line at the Sanford, Fla., police department. “These [expletive], they always get away,” he said. Just a little bit of history repeating, I suppose.

    Or the difference is, ya know, the overwhelming preponderance of evidence (and witnesses). Lesson learned - don't threaten people and leave witnesses or allow them to call 911.
