I have zero opinion on George Zimmerman one way or the other. I never formed a personal opinion on the Trayvon Martin case and don't think anybody who was not there is in a position to judge exactly what happened that night. But Zimmerman was found not guilty by a jury of his peers.
Since that time he has been stopped twice for speeding, and he was accused (by the girlfriend) of pointing a gun at a girlfriend and was accused of a road rage incident. However the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence in the first case and no charges were ever filed in the second.
This time he is accused of throwing a wine bottle at a girlfriend in his home. He denies that he did it. The girl friend lives in another town. It is a near certainty that charges will be dropped in this incident too due to lack of evidence.
What is getting old is the fact that George Zimmerman is being singled out far more than any other private citizen for public scrutiny of everything he does. He may be guilty as any person can be of every allegation and innuendo. I don't know. Neither does anybody else other than the people actually involved. But there is political hay to be made by accusing George Zimmerman--it's a way to get yourself attention in a big hurry.
And he is the best wag-the-dog diversion this Administration has found. I wonder if something is cooking in Washington that they want media to not notice because it is focused on George Zimmerman?
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. Zimmerman, who was acquitted in 2013 of a second-degree murder charge for shooting unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, denies throwing the bottle at his girlfriend.
