Straight out of HS, his father sent him to Florida, so something happened there that no one is willing to tell..it goes to his myspace page back then..
In 2005 he charged with resisting a police officer with violence..was given a diversion program, which obviously didn't work for him. He still appears to have anger and impulse control issues and doesn't take rejection well.. Watch This: George Zimmerman Arrested in 2005 - The Root
A list of George Zimmerman's past run-ins with the law
GZs day will come. I only pray there isn't another fatality due to this very violent person..
So ??? As I said, he had the two incidents before killing Martin. Both were 7 years before killing Martin.
Also as I said, nothing to be proud of.
I don't recall the exact quote from the bond hearing, but when the state brought up the resisting arrest, the judge said something like 'I know how those things work,' and basically disregarded it. He knew that cops will pump any questioning or touching to resisting/violence.
Unless he did a lot more and wasn't caught, I don't consider his pre-Martin record worthy of calling a long history of violence or a predictor that he'd kill anyone.
BBM -- In the eyes of most people the behaviors you've cited would be described as a rather bad record for a young man: domestic violence + assault. Why do people give GZ these passes? That's what perplexes most people whom I know.
I'm not even a little perplexed.
I still wonder about Zimmerman's emails that the court sealed, having declared them too inflammatory. Would a peek at those babies increase or decrease his support base? And whatever happened to Shellie's book? Why isn't Samantha Scheibe parlaying her story into cold hard cash? She had the air of a budding celebrity about her until the day he barricaded himself in the house (the first barricade, not the recent one).

What does 'giving him a pass' mean. Nothing to be proud of and not wanting as a buddy is about what it amounts to for me. I'm with the bond judge who called the dv and mutual restraining order 'somewhat mild' and the cop incident 'run of the mill.' For a 29 year-old guy when he killed TM, sorry, it doesn't = a long history of violence or a dangerous criminal.
I don't think of TM as a thug, so maybe my standards for long history of violence or thug are atypical.
Maybe, maybe not. But certainly nothing to indicate that he was a cold blooded murderer which is what is being alleged by those who support TM, only because he is Black, in this topic.

You are so wrong-- and we have given you many alternate reasons- so -stay in your sand box your mind cannot open up -

Oh Dear, "many alternative reasons". LOL
This "many alternate reasons" simply means you can't accept the Jury decision, and thus are throwing all kinds of made up excuses at it hoping that some excuse ends up sticking.

It perplexes me too. I was also shocked he never had to answer for throwing a drunk bar patron across the room when he worked as a bouncer. I suppose because the bar was not legal due to lack of a liquor license to begin with and maybe the lady he injured was ashamed of her part or perhaps the bar owner paid her off so she wouldn't report his bar.
I've been enjoying your well-reasoned posts mbutterfly.
.... I was also shocked he never had to answer for throwing a drunk bar patron across the room when he worked as a bouncer.....
Why? If you are referring to the trial, then anyone with just a little knowledge of court proceedings in the USA, is that previous unrelated incidents are inadmissible as evidence that someone committed a murder.
I wonder if GZ could use stand your ground against an undercover DEA agent who happens to look like a punk to him and how that would that turn out? God knows Florida has a lot of drugs being sold.
O'meara would dream up something to defend him frame of mind.
