74. The Zimmerman case is strange ...

I have no idea why his permit wasn't pulled.

I mentioned my daughter and her stalker. After a hearing with the judge she received a certified letter from the state requiring her to turn in her carry permit. She immediately called the judge and found out that it was a clerical mistake. He straightened the situation out. The stalker was required to turn in his firearms.

TRAYVON: George Zimmerman had a history of violence
Mar25 by johnbenneth

There’s got to be a reason the Sanford, Florida police have been acting so strangely in the Trayvon Martin case: I think they’re about to be hit with a charge of gross malfeasance in the shooting death of Trayvon and they know it. And the shooter has them over a barrel.

George Zimmerman, the shooter, it appears has a get out of jail card from the somebody or something in system for years now. He’s got a record of violence that would normally have prevented him from having a concealed weapon permit.

***snip***

Florida requires a history of violence report for carry permit that would have included a violent brush with the cops.

A domestic violence charge is all it takes for the law for the cops to demand surrender of your guns. Did Zimmerman have a concealed weapons permit in 2005, and if he did, was he required to turn in his pistol and any other guns he had? Or did he get yet another pass on that one to go alonside his get out of jail free card.

Zimmerman appears to have far more influence than the average person. If the national media had not jumped on the story he would not be facing a trial today.

I had a co-worker who lost his carry permit and his firearms because of false accusations from his ex. The police actually arrived at our workplace and hauled him off in handcuffs. Later he was fully exonerated. I believe his ex had mental issues.

Something does smell in Sanford, Florida. Florida law doesn't seem to be evenly applied to all in that city.

I'm glad that you enjoy living in California. I personally would never wish to live there.
