He's had so many law related problems, that at some point you have to put blame on him. Honestly I think he likes the attention, and is trying to stay relevant. That on top of a lack of common sense. He certainly isn't attempting to keep his nose clean.  I cease supporting people that are constant troublemakers. At this point he is making gun owners look bad, White or not.  mjodr, you've never been a supporter of zimmerman in any sense, in fact, I recall you posting something along the lines of that he should of been convicted for shooting trayvon.     I don't think anyone likes death threat attention, or prison. if he wanted attention, he would have went and did tons of interviews after being acquitted. even if he had, it would have been futile.    when you think about it, what trouble has this guy actually gotten into? 2 suspicious speeding tickets, a scuffle with his wife/father in law that they started, and now this supposed domestic dispute with his new 'girlfriend' who appeared out of thin air and into zimmermans life. so far, this incident is the only incident that could possibly be actually his fault. before the whole trayvon thing, he had virtually no run ins with the law. that's a big factor.     You gotta put yourself in his shoes. Persecuted for over a year as a child murderer (after getting beat up by said 'child) knowing that the prosecution was playing dirty, huge controversy across the entire nation, tons of hate going his way, his life yanked from him. You'd basically feel like cattle being surrounded for a slow slaughter. I don't care what race he is, because if they can do it to him, they can do it to us. you may not be as far removed in the hills as you think.     The media and government does take orders now and again from blacks with connections. Just because blacks aren't looting stores anymore in the name of trayvon, doesn't mean they aren't doing anything because of it anymore.     all that it would take for you to be the next zimmerman, is to be targeted by a black person and defend yourself. even if you shot a black guy breaking into your home in self defense, it could be twisted into you becoming the next zimmerman, and you might not be soo lucky as to get acquitted.     granted, I think he should have left the country already......but, what if he can't? obama or holder could have easily placed him on a list to make sure he couldn't leave the country, essentially caging him in to make sure he's still on american streets where someone can eventually get 'justice' for trayvon someday. perhaps that's why we're not hearing about this civil rights investigation that is ever-ongoing. could have opened one on him with the intent to keep it open indefinitely to keep him from leaving the country, or any other number of reasons. And maybe, just maybe, he doesn't want to be pushed out of what he believes to be his own country. If zimmerman were white, and refused to be pushed out by blacks, wouldn't standing their ground be a trait you'd respect and admire? are they to turn tail and run instead because of negros? Because defeat is exactly what you're advocating then.
