Zimmerman at it again

[Phishfan]

Shellie Zimmerman has called 911 to report George has punched her father and made verbal threats involving his gun. He is being questioned but has not been charged as this story is breaking.

[el diablo]

So was GZ on his way back to his car or looking for an address, when Shellie's father attacked him?

[bsmooth]

No one is pressing charges.

I'll bet dad was thinking that Zimmerman is guilty and tried to get his daughter out of the house

They've been separated for a while and she filed for divorce last week. Also, the night of the murder she was staying with her father since she and George had a fight the night before.

It's her father's house. George is staying there. There was no gun. There is no pressing charges.

Much to do about nothing except that it's George Zimmerman.

How could George be staying there if his wife claimed last in interview that she did not know where he is?

^^^ Becasue someone who pleaded guilty to perjury would never lie when not under oath, 

That aside, this sounds to me like just a pretty typical domestic issue. I am a bit curious how much in play the gun actually was. I don't think anyone has claimed a gun was ever shown.

More shenanigans from the media of the "oppressed". The guy had a fair trial and was found not guilty, but since they were already out for blood they will never leave the him alone. Pulled over with a warning and it's pasted all over the media. Gets a speeding ticked and it's pasted all over the media. I can see the next headline about Zimmerman from the liberal media, "BREAKING NEWS: GEORGE ZIMMERMAN TAKES A SHIT". Give it a break already.

A call to 911 is shenanigans? Your positions really are extreme.

A call to 911 is shenanigans? Your positions really are extreme.

A 911 call regarding domestic abuse in which the "victim" recants her story, and there is absolutely no physical injury, is not typically national news.  Only in a very small town newspaper that reports ever police call would it even make the local new. 

From that perspective this is a non-story that some are trying to trump up. 

[Phishfan]

^^^ I'll agree that this was a domestic situation that does not make the news usually but the participants are far from typical. I'm also not sure she recanted her story. She did not want to press charges.

The police were likely correct in not making an arrest because it was a very typical situation with atypical participants.

There was no turmping of the story. The story was the story. I did not see anything that embellished it at all, except for maybe one headline yesterday saying he was in custody but the article itself went on to clarify he was being questioned but not charged at the time.

what about the gun reports? There was no gun. Just watched Lake Mary PD say it for the 3rd time. A gun was not involved.

The story is pretty much around a broken iPad and who broke it.

[Phishfan]

^^^ I've seen Lake Mary PD's statements as well. It is not a trumped up story, unless Shellie trumped it up. That is not media hype. It was her recorded statement on the 911 call.

Also, unless I am mistaken, Lake Mary's position was Zimmerman did not have a gun on his body when they spoke with him. They said it could be inside the car but they were not going to bother with a search warrant to look for one under this siutation. Zimmerman's own lawyer issued statement saying he had his gun with him but did not brandish it.

This article is not the first one I saw were Lake Mary said the gun was possibly in the vehicle (I think that one had already been altered) but it does mention there was in fact a gun.

"We did not take a gun at all, because there was no reason to take a gun, because his gun was in his truck," Bracknell said.

A 911 call regarding domestic abuse in which the "victim" recants her story, and there is absolutely no physical injury, is not typically national news.

So if OJ Simpson's girlfriend (or Casey Anthony's boyfriend) called 911 for domestic abuse, but there was no injury and the victim's story was recanted, no one in the media would cover it?

Please.
