Police have said that they didn't have enough evidence to arrest George Zimmerman in the possible domestic violence incident yesterday. Sound familiar? They didn't have enough evidence to arrest him in the Trayvon Martin killing -- until a national outcry demanded it.
His wife, Shellie, now says she will not press charges. But she also said he destroyed the evidence that she had -- an iPad with a video she had recorded of the incident. He grabbed it and broke it into pieces. Police have it and are trying to piece it together.
Also she says that she didn't actually see his gun when he was threatening them; but she says his hand was on his pocket where he had had a gun previously in the incident.
Zimmerman's lawyer has acknowledged that he did have a gun with him during the incident.
So -- he is careful not to show the gun at the same time he threatens them. He destroys the video of his allegded punching his father-in-law in the nose. He has killed one innocent teen-ager. He has had other incidents with the police that sent him to anger management training. Since his acquittal for murder, where some of the jury members were convinced of his guilt but just couldn't square it with the stand your ground laws, he has been stopped twice for speeding. One previous charge of allegded domestic violence, which was also withdrawn. Multiple incidents of poor impulse control?
Is this a man who should be trusted to carry a gun?
