Just last week, Shellie Zimmerman filed for divorce from George and presumably was staying at her parents' home when this altercation occurred. More news may clarify this later. One source says police have confirmed that Zimmerman is in custody for investigation of "possible domestic battery."
But if this is true -- and with such notoriety as Zimmerman's recent trial and acquital for murder, rumors are always suspect -- but, if true, then isn't it time that Zimmerman's permit to carry concealed weapons be revoked?
He had a history, even before killing Trayvon Martin, of altercations with the police and being required to go through an anger management course. Then he used his self-appointed status as neighborhood watch captain to stalk and kill an unarmed black teen-ager. Now if he has in fact threated his father-in-law with a gun:
Isn't this enough inappropriate behavior with a gun to take away his rights to carry?
Enough of this gun craze in our society.

The recorded 911 call from Shellie Zimmerman has been released. Sounding shaken, she says George punched her father in the nose and then threatened the family with his hand on his gun.
ReplyDeleteFor a man with proven problems controlling his anger, this sounds very serious. It also raises questions about the whole Trayvon Martin case and the non-guilty verdict.
