I did, and this is common behavior for an abused woman, he promises that he has changed and will never do it again and she believes him until he does it again, and repeat until she ends up beaten or dead.

Default Who cares?

She was stupid enough to be with him in the first place. No surprise they have a rocky relationship.

A local news channel revealed after the arrest that she and her mom had been shopping their story with different national news outlets for 3 weeks before the incident. The girlfriend admitted that was true, but said she hoped getting a national interview would put pressure on George to get help for his depression. Because that's a normal step for helping your depressed loved one. Getting paid for a CNN interview to encourage them to get help. But everyone turned them down.
Guess she thought calling the police would help get her in the national news, and she was right about that.

Is it possible that she was threatened by some of his fans? I find it hard to believe that he has a history of anger issues and not long after the Trayvon verdict he gets in other situations involving those same issues

That's not unusual for abused women.

I don't think the guy ever had any anger issues , he sat in court for weeks and never showed any signs, got stopped by the cops a couple times, no anger shown there either , he's an easy target for anyone that ones to make money now Also I think he had all the right to depend himself against that kid.

You folks seem fixated on this idiot. Who really cares at this point what George Zimmerman does? Let him go off into obscurity and never be heard from again.

No? He lost two jobs as a bouncer for private parties for being too aggressive. He picked up a woman and he threw her.
Nah, no anger issues there.

“Usually he was just a cool guy. He liked to drink and hang with the women like the rest of us,” he said. “But it was like Jekyll and Hyde. When the dude snapped, he snapped.”
The source said Zimmerman, who made between $50 and $100 a night, was let go in 2005.
“He had a temper and he became a liability,” the man said. “One time this woman was acting a little out of control. She was drunk. George lost his cool and totally overreacted,” he said. “It was weird, because he was such a cool guy, but he got all nuts. He picked her up and threw her. It was pure rage. She twisted her ankle. Everyone was flipping out.”
The year 2005 was a bad one for Zimmerman: he was arrested for fighting with a cop trying to arrest his friend for underage drinking, and he and his ex-fiancée took out protective orders against each other.

Clearly, poor little Georgie is a docile pussycat who is misunderstood.

I don't much care for Zimmerman, but I would like to see a second source. Also an unnamed source? Really? Zimmerman is more like the Pillsbury dough boy. Congratulations though... You are giving him a bigger share of his 15 mins of fame
