[Amerigo Vespucci]

George Zimmerman mug shot from a 2005 arrest. Zimmerman is the neighborhood watch participant who shot a teenage, Trayvon Martin, in a gated community in Sanford, Florida. Orange County Jail / 2005

In 2005, his ex-fiáncée, hair salon employee Veronica Zuazo, filed for a restraining order against Zimmerman — whom she called “Georgie.”

***

Zuazo claimed that three years earlier, Zimmerman had attacked her when they were driving to counseling. She claimed she popped her gum in his face, spurring him to call her names and smacking her mouth with his open hand.

In January 2002, she also claimed, Zimmerman got upset because she got home too late. They tussled. He threw her on the bed. She smacked him. Zimmerman left for the night.

For his part, Zimmerman claimed that in November 2002, she attacked him with a baseball bat after she discovered he went to a concert without her.

1. Knowing now what she didn't know then

she should be thinking she lucked out. One wonders just how long Zimmerman's been looking for a chance to kill somebody.

5. Too bad she wasn't able to beat some sense into him with that baseball bat.

7. He has shifty eyes.

Just saying because he really DOES in that photo.

8. Oh boy this guy is a real winner, huh? Not

9. He has to have some mental illness of some kind.

I'm betting borderline PD.

10. Freepers are still defending this Thug

11. She sounds like a real role model, too.

They should have stayed together - they may have been made for each other.

12. Sounds like they're both a couple of winners.

A wonder they didn't marry.
