Quote:
ORLANDO, Fla. – Police say a driver has reported that George Zimmerman threatened to kill him after a confrontation on the road.

Police are investigating two reports involving the driver and 30-year-old Zimmerman, who was acquitted last year of a second-degree murder charge for shooting an unarmed teenager.

Police say that on Tuesday, the man called police after a truck pulled up next to him and the driver yelled, "Why are you pointing a finger at me?"

Police spokeswoman Bianca Gillett says the man recognized the truck driver as Zimmerman. The man says Zimmerman asked, "Do you know who I am?" and threatened to kill him.

Two days later, the man says he saw Zimmerman in his truck outside his work. He called police but declined to press charges. His name hasn't been released.

This guy must just have the worst luck:

Quote:
Florida authorities say George Zimmerman, whose acquittal of murdering an unarmed black teen sparked a national debate on race and self-defense laws, has been arrested on an aggravated assault charge.

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office says the 31-year-old Zimmerman was arrested in Lake Mary about 10 p.m. Friday and is being held at the John E. Polk Correctional Facility. The facility's website says Zimmerman is scheduled for a court appearance at 9 a.m. Saturday.

No further details were released. A message seeking further information was left Saturday morning by The Associated Press with Seminole County Sheriff officials.

Zimmerman was acquitted in 2013 of a second-degree murder charge for shooting an unarmed teenager, Trayvon Martin.

Since his acquittal, Zimmerman has had several brushes with the law:

-- He was arrested on charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief after his then-girlfriend said he pointed a gun at her face during an argument, smashed her coffee table and pushed her out of the house they shared. Samantha Scheibe decided not to cooperate with detectives and prosecutors didn't pursue the case.

-- Zimmerman was accused by his estranged wife of smashing an iPad during an argument at the home they had shared. Shellie Zimmerman initially told a dispatcher her husband had a gun, though she later said he was unarmed.

No charges were ever filed because of a lack of evidence. The dispute occurred days after Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers.

-- Zimmerman has also been pulled over three times for traffic violations since his acquittal.

Yeah, I think we've reached the point that anyone who continues to claim that George Zimmerman isn't a hot head most likely has something against black people.

George Z certainly was not wholly, but that doesn't mean Trayvon was as well. Respect My Authoritay met I'm 17 and Ghetto Fabulous and the result was like matter and anti-matter colliding. Only difference was one had a gun.

Regardless, isn't it time for George Z to get OJd in a wrongful death lawsuit?

"Ghetto Fabulous" was carrying Skittles. What are you talking about?

As for the thread, George Zimmerman can be an outlaw and still be not guilty of murder. It is a propensity inference to assume otherwise.

I don't disagree there, I just object to the idea that Zimmerman was a good citizen going about his day and Martin was a bad apple. There were some here who claimed that there was no evidence that Zimmerman was a hothead while simultaneously stating that Trayvon based on evidence that was more limited, if anything. I actually think that the jury probably made the right call in acquitting Zimmerman, but that doesn't mean that his anger issues didn't play a role.

If Martin was still alive, there is the high probability by now he would have a list of charges against him. We know the odds. The numbers and the stats in the correctional facilities prove it.

It's purely racist to say that Trayvon Martin would have a rap sheet because of his skin, but regardless, George Zimmerman is alive and does have a list of charges against him, so I fail to see how that impacts my argument that they were likely both hotheads.

All charges against Zimmerman were withdrawn. It would seem he IS guilty of SPEEDING (SHOCKING!) and having a taste for crazy girl friends!!
