More:
According to officers, on Tuesday, a man called 911 saying George Zimmerman threatened to kill him during a road rage incident.
The following day, the same man called 911 again and said Zimmerman was waiting for him at work, and he felt worried for his safety.
Lake Mary Police said they confronted Zimmerman, and he admitted to exchanging words with the man the previous day.
--snip--
In this latest case, police said, the man Zimmerman allegedly threatened also does not want to press charges, so Zimmerman has not been arrested.
We're still working this story, waiting on those 911 calls, and we'll have more later today.

(95,337 posts)I kept hearing about Zimmerman's rights as 'Stand your Ground' and kept wondering 'What about Treyvon Martin's right to Stand his Ground too?'

I also vote for the straight jacket. It's only a matter of time. He's escalating.

(26,587 posts)He feels entitled ever since he got away with it the first time, and unfortunately, it's the only thing that will finally get him put away long term.

If he has time to spend two days on a road rage incident, he needs something to fill his time, indoors preferably.

(10,611 posts)Zimmy will run into another gun enthusiast looking to Stand Their Ground. They can't seem to hold him accountable and press charges, so maybe it's only a matter of time.

(102,292 posts)Admittedly, there would be a certain "karmic justice" to his coming face to face with another invoking "SYG"--though I won't/can't go so far as to wish him harm.

(10,611 posts)he broke his social contract for good when he stalked and defied 911 to murder an unarmed kid.
And his subsequent behavior doesn't seem to indicate that he's working on amends, so que sera sera.

(813 posts)Not that I wish any body dead, but the fact that his behavior is escalating doesn't bode well for other innocent people.

(27,677 posts)Interesting pattern here. From the link:
A few months later George Zimmerman was arrested and accused of domestic violence. His girlfriend accused him of pointing a shotgun at her. She later changed her story, and wanted the charges dropped.
In this latest case, police said, the man Zimmerman allegedly threatened also does not want to press charges, so Zimmerman has not been arrested.
May the next victim have the strength to follow through and actually testify against George.

(14,858 posts)A lot of racist freeper types consider him to be a persecuted hero. Even if HE doesn't threaten his victims, you know his fans will.

Someone will take a dirty shank and cut him wide open to let him die a slow painful death. I knew a guy who spent a lot of time in the slammer because of sticky fingers and he was telling me once the story how if someone is really hated are dealt with. He said its not pretty and isn't supposed to be either.

(774 posts)Lake Mary Police said they confronted Zimmerman, and he admitted to exchanging words with the man the previous day.
So, did it happen that way or not?
Or, is the person that's making the accusation lying?

(102,292 posts)A driver says George Zimmerman threatened to kill him, asking `Do you know who I am?' during a road confrontation in their vehicles, a police spokeswoman said Friday.
The driver, whose name hasn't been released, told Lake Mary police officers that a truck pulled up to his car Tuesday, and the driver yelled, "Why are you pointing a finger at me?"
The truck's driver then asked the man, "Do you know who I am? I will kill you," the man told police officers, said Officer Bianca Gillett, a police spokeswoman.
The man said he recognized the truck's driver as George Zimmerman. The man pulled into a nearby gas station and called police officers, but the truck was gone by the time they arrived, Gillett said.
Two days later, the man said that he saw Zimmerman in his truck outside his work.
"He was in fear of having encountered the vehicle a second time," Gillett said.
The man called police, and officers who arrived confirmed the truck driver was Zimmerman, the police spokeswoman said.
The man declined to press charges, Gillett said.

The guy saw Zimmermans truck, the police arrived and confirmed it, which is evidence of what?
Where's the part about Zimmerman 'admitting to exchanging words with the man the previous day'
and why was it edited out?
Did he admit to the incident or not, or is just a case of sloppy reporting?
The guy also declined to press charges.
Leads me to believe hes either lying, or he himself is responsible for the road rage incident.

(102,292 posts)WSVN reports that his latest brush with the law came on Tuesday when Zimmerman allegedly threatened to kill a man during a road rage incident in Lake Mary, Florida.
The man, whose name has not been reported, also told police Zimmerman was waiting for him at his work.
Zimmerman allegedly admitted to police that he had an altercation with the man, but he won't face legal action because the man has declined to press charges.

(185 posts)so that he could show up there with a gun.
That's the real scary part to me. That this dude has 1 or more cops doin' dirt for him ...crazy. Also the other additional disturbing thing is that he wanted to be a cop himself at one time. Just let that fact sink in for a bit.
