George Zimmerman's Domestic Violence

Freepers get pretty into people sometimes. Often it's hatred (Obama, McCain, the Clintons, etc.), but sometimes it's basically worship. Once they've attached, some find it really hard to reverse themselves.

The high emotions of the George Zimmerman trial made many Freepers turn from mere defenders into hero worshipers of Zimmerman - he wasn't just an ordinary innocent guy, he was basically a saint being martyred!
So when George Zimmerman seems involved in a situation that screws with this narrative by making him look like a violent guy, it kinda breaks the Freeper community between people who just assume move on for the sake of expedience and hero worshipers.

1010RD blames Obama:

They’ve done all they could to break this guy. He’s just an average Joe who got caught up in Obama’s and Axelrod’s reelection machinations.

VerySadAmerican's gut tells him the wife is making it all up. Despite the pictures.

We know his wife wants half of everything he’s got and everything he’s going to get. She doesn’t seem credible to me.

t1b8zs notes the wife seems fat to him:

If he skates on this one he needs to Fugetahbout the heifer spouse and GTF out of Fla before he is pushed into something he cant skate on.

Williams knows some guys, and women are super evil and lie all the time:

Ive known guys where the wife, pressured by her parents, gets restraining orders, gets the guy arrested etc. Then she is showing up everywhere to have sex with him, Thanksgiving at his parents’ house, and chiding him to move back in with her WITHOUT removing the restraining order!

This way she can have him locked up at any whim. This stuff happens a lot.

I’m not saying men don’t also throw fits, make threats etc. but these new laws are abused.

Ive seen women recant rape accusations, etc. Things can get ugly and the law no longer realizes people make stuff up. It’s presumed the man is evil and the judges treat him that way.

soycd has made up his mind:

What a drama queen she is. That sounded like it was 100% BS 911 call. Now she can parade it on the morning shows. Shellie should be arrested for making a false 911 call and George is an idiot for being at her house or anywhere near her.

Thane_Banquo seems also to be intimately aware of domestic violence law:

The law is intentionally discriminatory against men in favor of women. The name of the law--the Violence Against Women Act--says it all, even though statistically men are as likely to be victims of domestic violence as women.

Also his stat is wrong.

GOYAKLA wishes the media would concentrate on what's important!

It is truly fascinating to me that the “Media” gives us more info about GZ that BHO. The media has completely forgotten that we lost 4 good men at Benghazi yet burns-up the TV with aerial shots of GZ, on a “she says, he says”!.

dforest is pretty sure there's liberal bribery afoot:

IMHO, Shellie has been offered a big paycheck by the left if she can bait her soon to be ex into a confrontation that would put him behind bars.

Maybe Gloria Allred has been in touch.

I think cherry is talking about Oprah:

he absolutely is not guilty of murder of that Martin guy, but he sure is pretty creepy....

and his soon to be exwife is just out for her 15" with Ommpah....

a fool in paradise focuses on the good times, where the black kid got killed:

He should reform his ways. You don’t hear about Saint Skittlez getting in anyone’s grill anymore.

Pearls Before Swine gives excuses:

Maybe George has judicial PTSD. He’s been through the wringer.

Maybe the father-in-law is using George’s need to carry as an excuse to get leverage for Shelley in the divorce.

Who can tell?

freerepublicchat also excuses:

This is what living in constant fear for your life can do.

Uncle Chip is an Internet detective!

Shellie can be heard on the 911 call saying that George hit her father.

If GZ actually hit her father then he would be arrested but he is not being arrested.

It sounds to me like she made a false 911 report especially since she is refusing to give a statement.

This sounds like Shellie the drama queen.

CondorFlight blames Obama for his paranoid fantasies:

Either he’s not thinking clearly, and needs help;

or he’s being set up.

I have no idea which, but it says a lot that I
could believe either.

Uncle Chip will not have the non-Hero worship guys posting:

Well, we’ve endured weeks of Freepers that think he is one of the greatest people to walk the earth. They don’t think that way about other diehard Obama supporters.

nick, there are times when I think you are on the wrong forum — and this may be one of them.

Las Vegas Ron is like the Clint Eastwood of Free Republic:

I realize that doesn’t always square with neoRINOism, and I can live with that. Sorry.

**Cough, squint**...that's what you fall back on when you can't defend your position?

Barf, try again.

Las Vegas Ron doubles down on the hero bit:

But do you think he’s a hero of some sort?

If you consider a man who has exercised his right to self defense with the God given rights guaranteed by our Constitution, HELL YES!

He exercised bad judgment.

Yeah, citizens getting involved with other neighbors and protecting their neighborhood with said neighbors approval is such bad judgment, are you sure you're on the right forum? Is DU missing an idiot?

And he’s repeatedly proving that his judgment just isn’t that great.

Every move this guy make is under scrutiny, I wonder how you would fare. Was the last time you were stopped by a cop broadcast on national TV? Every time this guy farts, it gets reported, think there might be an agenda here....no you've got your own agenda.

I wouldn’t be surprised a bit if he’s in jail one year from now

I wouldn't be surprise to see a Zot in your immediate future.

Go back to DU.
