Manassa City Police Sgt. Eddie Rivera said one-time Manassas resident George Zimmerman was a victim of an assault in 2001, but he was never listed as an offender or suspect.

This is interesting for several reasons:

1. First of all Zimmerman probably learned from the experience and knew just what to say to muddy the waters in the Trayvon case.
2. What occurred? Maybe this was another altercation with a black person which might cause him to snap at blacks or perhaps he was the aggressor this time to and turned the tables just like he is doing now.
3. Just another example of Zimmerman getting into some kind of violent attack that he may or may not have provoked. He sure has a knack for getting into violent scuffles.

Is there a way we can look deeper into this attack? Where would you find the records for this?

1. WOW. there is like no information at all in that story....

Not your fault, but they just say the least they can like they only listened to the officer and never asked details as a reporter.

2. Unless not being oriented to person, place, time and events is an issue, it's no excuse.

Whatever happened in VA with another person is not related to what happened in FL.

Unless he's being treated for psychosis.

If so, his family should be using that excuse instead of muddying the water with what they've been shoveling.

3. his father was a magistrate in Va then

...and George was a juvenile, wasn't he?

4. might be able to find the old news report if there was one

....but he was a juvenile AFIK.

By a teenager again?

8. even if he got attacked and it made him a paranoid, racist gun nut,

it doesn't change anything. he's still guilty of murder either way
