SNIP-
That July, Zimmerman 21 at the time was at a bar near the University of Central Florida when a friend was arrested by state alcohol agents on suspicion of serving underage drinkers, according to an arrest report.
Zimmerman was talking with his friend, became profane and pushed an agent who tried to escort him away, the report said. Authorities said he was arrested after a short struggle.
...Capital One accused Zimmerman of failing to pay more than $1,000. He settled with the company for $2,135.82, records show, to cover his debts with interest, as well as attorney and court costs. However, the credit-card company soon reported that Zimmerman wasnt making the payments he had agreed to.
Zimmermans employer at the time, CarMax, agreed to garnish his wages. That arrangement was canceled in late 2008 because Zimmerman was no longer employed by CarMax.

(12,939 posts)I am amazed at the charmed Life Mr. Zimmerman seems to have been living, though.
He. seems to have people in authority cutting him breaks here and there.

(61,588 posts)I suspect that George Zimmerman has serious mental problems that make it impossible for him to keep a job or support himself. I think that his wealthy parents probably bought or rent a house for him in this community outside Orlando and hoped that he would stay out of trouble. George filled his time volunteering as the neighborhood vigilante and apparently dreaming of a job in law enforcement, which he couldn't obtain, despite having a degree in criminal justice or taking courses or something. Details aren't clear.
Where is George Zimmerman now? Does he have a job? Who owns the house he lived in?
And what does the condo association where he lived know about his activities? Did they know that he carried a concealed weapon? Did they know that he'd called 911 46 times in the past 14 months? News reports say that the HOA knew that residents of their community had complained that Zimmerman was profiling them and harassing them.

(68,918 posts)It's making a large leap but I wonder if he could possibly be "setting up" the burglaries etc. in his neighborhood.

(61,588 posts)The picture I get of George Zimmerman is somebody who fantasized about being powerful and important but who is in real life a complete fuck-up.

(19,326 posts)against his ex-gf, even assaulting a police officer was somehow pooh-poohed and he was
not convicted of any crime.
Of course he is probably part of the NRA good ol' boy clan, so there is that.
I still suspect he's "got something" on some of the local officials, which helps explain
why he keeps getting a "get out of jail free" card.

(6,082 posts)aggressor yet he always seems to turn it onto the victim. This is his pattern, he abuses, beats, the victim and then lies and totally turns the story around. What a friggin POS.

(12,939 posts)Of course he murdered an innocent young person. But he ain't squeaky clean by a long shot. Why would cops claIm that?
Taverner
(55,476 posts)For me, the first and foremost issue is that Zimmerfuck is a murderer
Sounds like he was a grade A asshole too
But even if he was an angel, he should still be tried for murder one
