Waiting for more on the story, 'threatening her and her father with a gun' could simply mean he was yelling while carrying his gun, but everyone will assume he was waving it around... and maybe he was, I don't know.

Regardless, he's pretty much proven he's an idiot who walks life on a thin gray chalk line.

you cannot overlook that this may be a power play by the "Estranged Wife". now that he has been tagged as an "offender", she can manipulate him with the threat of calling the Police. He really should limit who he lets into his inner circle and who he associates with - he is going to get burned.

She doesnt want to press charges now.

Didn't she get fined for purgery once already? For all we know, she's the loose cannon here. We don't really know anything.

In any case, the trial couldn't have been very therapeutic for their marriage...

Funny how that works isn't it?

Sort of like how someone says something in court, the other lawyer objects, the judge sustains it, the jury is supposed to ignore it, but yeah....right......good luck with that. Words are like bullets, once they leave they are impossible to retract.

Shellie Zimmerman lied

There was never a gun involved it this.

We all know his wife is a liar. She is likely looking for cash from the NBC lawsuit.

I'm surprised that the New Black Panthers haven't caught up with him.

It's curious that ABC described Zimmerman as "the man acquitted nearly two months ago in the murder of Trayvon Martin."

They still put the boogeyman costume on him.

So, for me, the message is obvious and its the message that every instructor has included in their course.

If you pull out your weapon, aim it someone and pull the trigger, your life will never be the same, regardless of whether the shooting was justified and you are aquitted of charges, the path of your life will change. People see you differently and treat you differently.

I guess the only good news here is that he is alive to live out these crappy scenarios, without doing what he did, he would have been just some guy living his life in obscurity, like the rest of us or worse just another murder that was reported on the local evening news - tragic, but happens hundreds of times every day.
