If any of them are feeling particularly bad today about their role in setting Zimmerman free, now that he\u2019s been arrested (a second time) for domestic abuse, I\u2019d advise that they wait before<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"color:#0000ff\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.orlandosentinel.com\/videogallery\/78239004\/911-audio-Zimmerman-calls-911-to-tell-his-side-of-story\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff\">listening to the chilling 911 call<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"color:#000000\">he made Monday afternoon. It\u2019s extremely disturbing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">I\u2019d give the same advice to Fox\u2019s Sean Hannity,<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"color:#0000ff\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.salon.com\/2012\/04\/10\/zimmerman_trades_lawyers_for_hannity\/\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff\">who tried to turn Zimmerman into a right-wing culture hero for killing Martin<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"color:#000000\">, allegedly in self-defense, except Hannity shows no signs of having a conscience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">The news that Zimmerman had been arrested again isn\u2019t surprising. It\u2019s just a matter of time before the entitled gun nut and wannabe cop hurts someone else. Just since his release from jail in July, he\u2019s been stopped by law enforcement for speeding at least three times, and police have been called to his home by his estranged wife, who said he threatened her with a gun (she refused to press charges).<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"color:#0000ff\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.salon.com\/2013\/08\/26\/go_away_george_zimmerman\/\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff\">He also toured the factory that produced the weapon he used to kill Martin<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"color:#000000\">. Zimmerman is not now and never was a mild-mannered guy who was at the wrong place at the wrong time and reluctantly killed a young thug who attacked him in self-defense; he is himself a thug with an anger problem looking for trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">But given that he used self-defense to evade a murder conviction, it\u2019s appalling to hear him on a 911 call trying to use the same defense against his girlfriend. Samantha Scheibe called police to say Zimmerman held a gun to her face, shattered a glass table, then threw her out of her own house. We hear her yell at Zimmerman on the call. \u201cYou just broke my glass table, you just broke my sunglasses and you put your gun in my friggin\u2019 face and told me to get the fuck out!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">Bizarrely, after the cops arrived, Zimmerman made a 911 call of his own, to say \u201cmy girlfriend is, for lack of a better word, going crazy on me.\u201d The dispatcher logically suggested that since Zimmerman is calling the police, he might want to talk to the officers who are banging on his front door. But he demurs. \u201cNo, they\u2019re pretty upset, I think,\u201d he tells her. \u201cThey\u2019re banging on the door and windows.\u201d He\u2019s calling simply because \u201cI just want people to know the truth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">But the call is one big lie. He goes on to claim that Scheibe is the one who smashed the table, and that she also has a weapon. He also concocts a story about her being pregnant with his baby, which the police have since denied. That\u2019s a creepy and controlling touch. It\u2019s not victim-blaming to say I hope Scheibe avails herself of counseling to understand why she moved in with someone like Zimmerman a month after his acquittal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#0000ff\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/news\/national\/george-zimmerman-arrested-florida-report-article-1.1520840#ixzz2l6shfaw6\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff\">Scheibe also told police<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"color:#000000\">that Zimmerman had a shotgun, two handguns and an AR-15 rifle with him. It\u2019s remarkable that he still has guns after not only killing Martin but allegedly pulling one on his wife, as well as posting a bull\u2019s-eye with 17 bullet holes on his wife\u2019s parents\u2019 home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">Tuesday afternoon a judge will decide whether to charge Zimmerman, and\/or to release him on bail, as well as presumably to leave him with his guns. It should be a no-brainer, but given how the Florida criminal justice system has treated Zimmerman to this point, it isn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">I would hate to be a former Zimmerman juror today. I\u2019d also hate to be Sean Hannity, but that\u2019s true every day. Zimmerman\u2019s brother Robert is already claiming reporters and liberals are \u201crushing to judgment\u201d about his brother, and I\u2019m sure he can convince somebody at Fox to take up the Zimmerman cause again. Look for George to tell Hannity his scrap with Scheibe was \u201cGod\u2019s plan\u201d (yes, that\u2019s what he said about killing Martin), this time to alert conservatives to a FemiNazi plot to take away the guns of God-fearing guys like him. Here\u2019s hoping the justice system works this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#0000ff\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alternet.org\/chilling-911-call-where-george-zimmerman-tries-frame-his-girlfriend-after-attacking-her?paging=off&amp;current_page=1#bookmark\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff\">Fuente<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We already know\u00a0at least one member of the jury that acquitted George Zimmerman\u00a0in the killing of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin has had second thoughts about..<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37746,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[84,97,106],"tags":[357,345],"class_list":["post-19662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-statements","category-us-news","category-women","tag-racism","tag-reactionary-watch"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/redphoenix.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/screen_shot_2013-11-19_at_1-46-19_pm.png?fit=310%2C233&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19662\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37746"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
