... If I were Zimmerman, after his acquittal for the Trayvon Martin shooting, I would have moved to Idaho or Alaska or North Dakota, someplace far away from black America, where I wouldn't even need to carry a gun in self defense. Or maybe his native Ecuador, or Europe, someplace where no one knows him, where he could let his notoriety in the U.S. die down for a few years, before coming back with a new and unrecognizable look.
But then, I wouldn't go out looking for punks who always get away with it, or slapping women around, in the first place.
In his confrontation with Trayvon Martin, no. Trayvon Martin was bashing his face in, Trayvon attacked him, and he defended himself.
In his confrontation with wife Shelley Zimmerman, no.
It is still possible that his last girlfriend is exploiting Zimmerman's notoriety, and was alleging a false version of what happened in her 911 call, but at this point I don't believe Zimmerman's version.
The choking sounds like a tall tale she's using to pad the issue honestly. The domestic dispute is pretty light, so she probably felt compelled to allege abuse.
If she'd even mentioned it when the police arrived, it would have been more credible. But she waited until she had spoken to her attorney, and then, conveniently stacking up evidence for her case retroactively, only mentioned it then.
If there really was a choking incident a week or so before, she would have gotten away from Zimmerman then, and immediately called the cops right after to have them supervise Zimmerman move out of the residence with his possessions. She wouldn't have stuck around waiting for the inevitable next incident.
Zimmerman accused of sending image from homemade sex video to girlfriend’s daughter By Travis Gettys Wednesday, November 20, 2013 15:00 EST Samantha Scheibe
In the days following his acquittal on murder and manslaughter charges, George Zimmerman was alone, depressed and obsessed with guns, his girlfriend said.
Samantha Scheibe told WKMG-TV that she began her relationship with Zimmerman, who fatally shot unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin during a February 2012 encounter, around the same time his wife filed for divorce and accused him of threatening her with a gun.
Scheibe said her relationship with Zimmerman quickly unraveled due to his depression and she began to fear him, although she told the station that she stayed with him because she believed she could help.
She demanded that he seek professional help late last month, and Scheibe said Zimmerman moved all of her furniture, clothes and food from her home.
Scheibe and her mother had conversations with WKMG reporters via text message as they sought interviews with national media, saying they thought the attention would protect Scheibe.
“She’s scared is the bottom line,” Scheibe’s mother, Hope Mason, wrote in a text message. Zimmerman was arrested Monday on domestic violence and misdemeanor battery charges after the 27-year-old Scheibe said he pointed a shotgun at her and pushed her out of the house.
According to prosecutors, Zimmerman had choked his girlfriend earlier this month and had mentioned suicide in the past.
At least two other women, including Zimmerman’s estranged wife, have accused him of domestic violence in the past.
Scheibe said their relationship was volatile, and her mother told WKMG that Zimmerman sent a still image from a sexually explicit video of himself and Scheibe to Scheibe’s daughter.
“He’s now threatened her in writing and even sent a portion of the video to her baby girl,” Mason told WKMG in a text message.
Neither the contents of the image and the girl’s age could be confirmed, but it’s illegal under Florida law to transmit sexually explicit material to minors.
But still Scheibe stayed with Zimmerman and the couple reunited, and Mason was promising an interview with both to national media outlets as recently as last week.
Mason said her daughter first met Zimmerman about 12 years ago, in her late teens, and they dated for a short time before he got married and remained friends.
Scheibe said their recent romance began after Zimmerman’s marriage turned sour, and before he shot and killed Martin in a case that drew national attention after police initially declined to charge him because he’d claimed self-defense.
She said Zimmerman, whom she calls “Georgie,” was a warm and caring man who was always willing to help.
Scheibe said Zimmerman and his wife had gotten into an argument the night he shot Martin, and Shellie Zimmerman had left to spend the night elsewhere.
The couple had already discussed divorce, although they remained married and rented a house from her parents during Zimmerman’s trial that ended in his July acquittal.
Scheibe said Zimmerman began to change after the jury found him not guilty in the teen’s slaying.
She and her mother said Zimmerman sank into a deep depression when the media frenzy died down and doctors prescribed medication, which they said he did not take regularly.
Zimmerman spent days in bed, Scheibe said, and she believes he tried to take an overdose of sleeping pills and stuck a gun into his own mouth when he awoke, although she said she talked him out of shooting himself.
Scheibe said Zimmerman threatened to take his own life on multiple occasions, and she said the threats tended to come when he his name fell out of the headlines.
She thinks Zimmerman enjoyed the media attention he received, although she knew that would prevent him from living a normal life.
Scheibe denied claims made by Zimmerman’s wife about a September domestic dispute, saying Zimmerman had a gun with him but kept it in the trunk of his car.
Police declined to charge him in connection with that case.
Zimmerman was released Tuesday afternoon on bond in connection with his latest domestic violence case.
As a condition of his release, Zimmerman may not possess a gun or come within 1,500 feet of Scheibe, and he must also wear an electronic monitor until his next court appearance on Jan. 7.
I'll grant that the behind-the-scenes of Zimmerman's relationships with girlfriend Samantha Schiebe and wife Shelley Zimmerman is interesting, and her observations of Zimmerman's depression. There's no explanation of why his acquittal would make him MORE depressed. Just wild speculation that he got off on the publicity. Oh yeah, relentless death threats against him and his family, and the threat of spending decades of his life in prison, he must have been thrilled before the acqittal.
There seem to be quite a few lurid embellishments:

Oh come on! He sent a pornographic message to Scheibe AND her daughter, and Schiebe didn't keep it as evidence? And it can't be retrieved by police later? Total B.S.

Again, this strains credibility. No police or Emergency Medical/hospital involvement in any of these alleged incidents? Gee, it's almost as if they, y'know, didn't happen!
According to recent reports, I'm Not Mr. Mxypltk's first-born son, Son of Mxy, is in all actuality a really, really sexy guy. The evidence came by way of a mirror that he used to check out his "guns" while striking off a few karate poses and muttering off a few sexy phrases.
"Fuck yeah," said Son of Mxy while doing a karate chop. "that's sexy."

Spike Lee has been sued by an elderly couple in Florida, whose address he incorrectly identified as the home of Trayvon Martin killer George Zimmerman, according to court documents obtained by the Smoking Gun.
The suit claims the “Do the Right Thing” director tweeted out the Florida address along with George Zimmerman’s name in March 2012 to his 240,000-plus Twitter followers.
“While defendant intended to post the home address of George Zimmerman, he actually posted the address of plaintiffs Elaine McClain and David McClain,” the complaint reads.
“I don’t give a f— what you think kill that Bitch,” Lee wrote. “HERE GO HIS ADDRESS, LET THE HUNGER GAMES BEGIN.”. . .
The attorney representing the Detroit teen accused of being an instigator in the mob attack on a Macomb County man earlier this month said the hate crime charge against his client is inappropriate, calling it a "spur of the moment" situation.
"A hate crime to me is burning a cross on somebody's lawn because of their race or color," lynching someone or painting swastikas on a synagogue, said Attorney Solomon Radner of Southfield following a brief court hearing today.
Radner noted that the teen is sorry about the situation. The teen is charged in the April 2 beating of Steve Utash, 54, of Clinton Township on Detroit's east side. Utash was attacked after he stopped to check on a 10-year-old boy struck by his vehicle as he drove on Morang.
The 16-year-old boy, who turns 17 in May, appeared in the Lincoln Hall of Justice in Detroit before Judge Jerome Cavanagh, who set a trial date of June 23-25 and kept the teen's bail at $400,000.
The teen, who is charged as a juvenile, faces assault with intent to do great bodily harm and ethnic intimidation charges. He is the youngest of the five defendants charged to date and the only one to be charged with a hate crime.
Solomon argued unsuccessfully for a lesser bail, calling the attack that left Utash with head injuries "a spur of the moment reaction to something that took place in his neighborhood." He said the teen would not be able to afford $400,000.
However, Assistant Prosecutor Hervey Jenkins noted that even though Utash appears to be improving, his recovery remains in question.
"This case could very easily have been charged with inciting a riot or insurrection with the events that occurred," Jenkins said.
At a court hearing Saturday, prosecutors said the teen -- whom the Free Press is not naming because he is a juvenile -- was one of the first to throw punches as the mob attacked Utash.
Utash was kept in a medically induced coma until last week, but family members have told the Free Press that despite severe head injuries Utash is now improving slightly every day. More than $179,300 had been raised as of this afternoon through the http://www.gofundme.com page set up for Utash's medical bills.
Four adults -- Bruce Wimbush Jr., Wonzey Saffold, James Davis and Latrez Cummings -- are charged with assault with intent to murder and assault with intent to do great bodily harm in the attack and are scheduled for their preliminary examinations on Monday.
i.e., the exact reverse reaction to the Trayvon Martin story. A racist attack on a white man who actually stopped to help a black kid he accidentally hit, is beaten for purely racial reasons. Not by one lone black person, but by a white-hating black mob.
Completely ignored by Obama's revenge/payback society, ignored by Obama's DOJ and white-hating attorney general Eric Holder. Ignored by the Obama-subservient liberal media, that has absolutely no interest in racially motivated black-on white crime. Despite that black-on-white attacks occur at a ratio of 50-to-1 of the reverse.
The lack of acknowledgement, condemnation, prosecution, or EVEN MENTION by the mainstream media, is a green light for black racism toward whites, and guarantees more such crimes will occur.

I remember years ago when Spike Lee was a guest on the Arsenio Hall show, and on-air scolded Hall for not having an all-black production staff. Not surprisingly, Spike Lee was never invited back on the show.
And Spike Lee's tweeting the address of a couple (who turned out to have NOTHING to do with George Zimmerman) as allegedly being Zimmerman's parents, with the clear intent to incite violence against these people, that drove them from their home when it had the intended effect, should bring a criminal penalty to Spike Lee.
But of course, he's black and of the Left. And thus not held to the same standard.
But y'know, calling him as a "retard" is probably more spot-on.
(DETROIT, Associated Press ) A suburban Detroit man who said he fatally shot an unarmed woman on his porch out of fear prompted by early morning pounding on his doors faces up to life in prison after jurors rejected his claim of self-defense.
Theodore Wafer was convicted Thursday of second-degree murder after a nine-day trial that centered on whether the 55-year-old had a reasonable and honest belief that his safety was in peril.
"I don't know why this was brought to me," Wafer testified this week. "I didn't go out looking for this."
No one knows why Renisha McBride ended up at Wafer's Dearborn Heights home about 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 2, though prosecutors speculated the 19-year-old may have been seeking help. She had been out with a friend hours earlier before crashing her car in Detroit around 1 a.m. and an autopsy found she was extremely drunk.
Wafer opened the front door and shot McBride in the face, firing through a screen door while she stood on the other side. He first suggested to police that it was an accident but later admitted to intentionally pulling the trigger.
"This was a monster that killed her. All he had to do was call 911," instead of shooting, said McBride's aunt, Bernita Spinks.
The jury convicted Wafer of murder, manslaughter and a gun-related charge after deliberating eight hours over two days. He faces up to life in prison when he returns to court on Aug. 25 but would be eligible for parole after serving whatever minimum sentence is ordered.
The judge revoked Wafer's bond and ordered him to jail over the objections of defense attorney Cheryl Carpenter.
"He's not going to go on a rampage. ... He's a quiet, introverted man," Carpenter said.
McBride's mother, Monica McBride, cried and clasped her hands when the verdict was announced. She gave long hugs to prosecutors as the courtroom emptied.
"We learned he was a cold-blooded killer," McBride's father, Walter Simmons, told reporters.
"People have a right to bear their arms and everything else, but you have to do it with reason and responsibility," Simmons said. "Not just murder somebody when it's not justified."
Jurors declined to comment on the verdict. Carpenter, did, too. She had urged jurors to put themselves in Wafer's shoes in the wee hours last fall when he said he heard "unbelievable" pounding at his front and side doors.
"I didn't know it was a teenager. In that split second, I didn't know what's coming next," Wafer testified.
Several trial witnesses called by prosecutors described their encounter with McBride after she crashed her car into a parked car a half-mile from Wafer's home. They suspected she had been drinking, but she walked away before an ambulance arrived to treat her head injury.
Witnesses said she talked about just wanting to go home — a key point repeatedly emphasized by prosecutors as they tried to counter the defense team's portrayal of McBride as a reckless woman.
McBride "is dead, not because she was drunk. Not because she crashed her car," prosecutor Athina Siringas said during closing arguments. "But because she had the misfortune of maybe being confused of where she was. ... He wanted a confrontation. That's what this was all about."
Wafer had told police that he was sensitive to crime, especially after his vehicle was hit with paintballs.
Wafer is white and McBride was black, and some wondered in the aftermath of the shooting whether race may have been a factor, likening it to the shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. But the race angle was hardly mentioned at trial.
"It's about people with guns who don't use the right judgment before they pick them up," Spinks said.
———
In Zimmerman's case, I think it was clearly self-defense, where Martin was witnessed pounding relentlessly on Zimmerman, and Martin initiated the confrontation.
The 55-yeaqr-old white guy (Theodore Wafer) who shot the black girl (Renisha McBride) was armed, and this was an unarmed girl who was not attacking him. At most he could have fired a warning shot or just injured her. I'm with the jury on this one, that his shooting her was not justified.
Odd how this case got far less coverage than the Zimmerman trial.
George Zimmerman allegedly threatened to kill a man in Florida earlier this week during a road rage incident ... and cops pulled over Zimmerman to grill him about it.
According to the Lake Mary PD, a man named Matthew Apperson called 911 on September 9 and told the operator Zimmerman had pulled up next to him and began yelling, "Why are you pointing your finger at me? I'll f***ing kill you. Do you know who I am?"
Apperson says he drove away to a store where Zimmerman followed him to continue the verbal barrage. Apperson called 911 from inside the store, but according to cops ... Zimmerman was gone when they arrived.
Apperson claims 2 days later, he saw Zimmerman parked outside his work, and called police again. Cops responded and pulled Zimmerman over near the office. After questioning him, police decided not to press charges -- mainly because there was no independent witness.
For what it's worth ... Apperson is white. Also, he was carrying a gun at the time of the alleged run-in, but he has a permit for it.
Aw, George, GEORGE.... what are you doin'?
The number of incidents this guy is involved in is just unbelievable.
To show up at the guy's work 2 days later, either Zimmerman knows the guy, or he traced his license tag somehow. Either way, that's some serious obsession and anger.
As a "white Hispanic", Zimmerman must carry a lot of inner conflict and self-loathing on that issue.
Seriously, this guy comes from a fairly wealthy family, they should urge him to take anger management counseling and get him out of the national spotlight. Because it puts his whole family in the national spotlight, not just Zimmerman. Aside from that, how can a family continue to let their son/brother go on self-destructing like that?
Deconstructing the media portrayal of Trayvon Martin as an "innocent kid".
Especially hard-hitting for me was the interview of Trayvon Martin's friend, asking "Were you surprised" (that Martin got shot)? FRIEND: "Not really..."
While national news media continue to focus on race in Ferguson, Missouri, where a white police officer shot and killed an unarmed black teenager, they apparently don’t think a similar case in Utah with the races reversed is that newsworthy.
Police in Salt Lake City are continuing their probe into an Aug. 11 shooting outside a 7-Eleven convenience store, when a black police officer, whom local media are referring to as “not white,” shot and killed 20-year-old Dillon Taylor, who was unarmed at the time, according to his supporters.
Police Chief Chris Burbank said the entire incident was captured on the body camera of the officer who shot Taylor.
“You will see on camera … the actions of everyone involved, including up to the point where our officer utilizes deadly force and his response thereafter,” Burbank told reporters.
He said the video, along with the officer’s identity, will be released at the “appropriate” time, adding it could be days, weeks or months.
“It would be wholly inappropriate to take the most vital piece of evidence that we have and put it out to the public prior to the officer having some due process,” he said.
The chief indicated he has personally viewed the footage, but would not comment on whether he believed the shooting was justified.
“I do not send officers out to use deadly force. That’s never our intention. In fact, our policy specifically says that is the last resort,” he said. “The officer in this circumstance did not set out to use deadly force. We have an unfortunate incident where Dillon Taylor lost his life.”

Burbank also refused to say whether Taylor had a gun, but the victim’s family and friends maintain he was unarmed.
“It didn’t make sense to me when I first heard everything, and they tried to say he had a gun,” Taylor’s friend, Aaron Swanenberg, told the Salt Lake Tribune. “I knew Dillon. He never packed a gun.”
The police state is already here. Get your autographed copy of “Police State USA” to discover the Orwellian nightmare.
Police said officers were responding to a report of a man “waving a gun around.”
When officers arrived, they found three men leaving the convenience store, with one, later identified as Taylor, reportedly matching the description of the person reported in a 9-1-1 call.
Witnesses say Taylor was wearing headphones at the time and may have been trying to pull his pants up when he was gunned down.
At the time of his shooting, court documents show Taylor had a $25,000 bench warrant for a probation violation in connection with felony robbery and obstructing justice convictions.
But Marissa Martinez, whose sister used to date Taylor, told the Salt Lake Tribune that Taylor had turned over a new leaf.
“He was trying to do better for himself. And this is what happens to him?” Martinez said. “It was really heartbreaking.”
Regarding the race of the officer, Utah’s Deseret News reported the police chief “saying the officer is not white.” The Salt Lake Tribune noted, “the officer involved was not white.”
The Taylor case was examined Wednesday by talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh, who said, “Note the similarities to the Michael Brown story [in Missouri], except in this case there’s no evidence the victim actually committed a crime.”
He noted Taylor “didn’t resist. He didn’t hit the cop. He didn’t try to flee and yet he was shot dead.”
He also pointed out how most news accounts did not specify the race of the police officer who killed Taylor.
“They are referring to the officer as ‘other-than-white,’ which reminds me of George Zimmerman becoming only the second-known white Hispanic, a title given by the New York Times.”
“They can’t wait to mention the racial aspects in St. Louis,” Limbaugh continued. “They don’t talk about the racial aspects in [the shootings in] Chicago, and there aren’t any racial aspects here in Salt Lake City.”
“There’s a mindset out there, and the way it works in situations like this [is] only people of color can be victims. A white person can never be a victim. It just can’t happen. That’s not permitted, that’s not allowed because it isn’t the case. The whites are the oppressors. They’re the majority. In the liberal worldview, every majority is an oppressor, whether they’re white or whatever. They’re all oppressors. The minority is always the victims, and the victims are with whom we should always sympathize, no matter what. And the victims are permitted to do anything precisely because they’re a minority, and I’m talking about in numbers, not skin color. They’re outnumbered. The evil majority does horrible things to the minority. And so the minorities, be it skin color or numbers … [are] always victims. And so anything they do is justified and we must try to understand the rage.
“But in the current climate in the United States, a black person can never be the oppressor and a white can never be the victim. And that’s how you have a corrupt or perverted news business in Salt Lake City, refusing to identify a black cop who may have shot an innocent person. That destroys the whole picture we’ve been creating here for centuries. That could totally destroy the image that we’ve been trying to concoct. Oh man that could blow it sky high; that’s just not supposed to happen. And so they come up with these things to hide it or to not reference it at all.”
Taylor’s aunt, Gina Thayne, told the Deseret News that police know they “killed an innocent kid.”
“If in fact they actually produce a tape, it will show exactly what happened,” Thayne said. “It will come out eventually. It will never bring Dillon back, though.”
