Actually, the
"weapon", in this latest
"assault" was a WINE BOTTLE, thrown
"at" the Girlfriend.
'At' is rather a subjective term. The bottle did not hit the woman, in any event. One has to wonder if the bottle was even really aimed
at her.
George Zimmerman bonds out of jail | Seminole County
In his previous domestic problems, Zimmerman was accused of holding his estranged wife and her family at gunpoint, and to have punched his father-in-law in in the nose. Later, it turned out that there was no gun, and the father-in-law never got punched.

Zimmerman's problems seem consistent with those of a less-than-attractive, low-IQ, mixed-race individual, living in an exceptionally sleazy part of the country. In the Trayvon Martin episode, he was living in a bad neighborhood, as well. In bad neighborhoods, interactions are generally between multiply-flawed individuals. This was certainly the case when Zimmerman interacted with Martin.
Someone like Zimmerman is not going to have access to females of a very high calibre.
Skank problems seem to be behind most of George's post-Trayvon difficulties. A difficult female can goad a man into "acting-out", which can get him into big trouble with the law. I grew up poor, and nonwhite, in a poor and nonwhite place. Zimmerman's difficulties would not have been considered exceptional in
"our" "community". In fact, he would have been considered
"one of the nicer guys around these parts". After all, he wasn't raping anybody. He wasn't sending any of the women in his life to the emergency room, to get steel plates put into their skulls, after he was through beating their brains out. The Welfare Lady wasn't coming around, telling him he needed to stop raping his girlfriends' children so much, and that
"The people in Jackson (The State Capital)
are sayin' it's not alrite ta be doin' yore own kinfolks no more.". He wasn't beating Gay men to death, or torturing animals in unspeakable ways.
(All of those things were quite commonplace among the inhabitants of our Mulatto/Melungeon/'Part Indian' rural "community"...).
And I would point out that both Zimmerman and Martin were mixed-race individuals.
Both could be considered African Americans (Zimmerman having had "Afro-Peruvian" ancestors). Trayvon would appear to have been well over fifty percent WHITE. Zimmerman probably has far less truly white ancestry than did Martin. If they'd both been girls in the 1960s, and both had been considered for membership in a good 'Black' sorority, they'd both have scored about the same, on the
Paper Bag Test.
