George Zimmerman's Mother-in-Law Files Police Report Claiming He Stole Her Furniture, TV

In the latest twist in the ongoing Zimmerman saga, his mother-in-law, Machelle Dean, filed a police report Friday claiming that he stole furniture and a television set from her house when she ordered him to leave.

George and his estranged wife Shellie were staying in Shellie's mother's house in Lake Mary, Flordia during his murder trial. However, according to TMZ, Dean claims that Zimmerman left with her belongings when she ordered him to vacate the property by Thursday.

When police arrived to the scene, they reportedly characterized it as a landlord-tenant dispute between Zimmerman and his in-laws.

The home is the same place where Lake Mary police were called to earlier in September after an altercation broke out between George and Shellie. In a 911 call, Shellie said that her husband threatened her and her father with a gun and punched her father in the nose.

I haven't been as creeped out for years as I was by that picture of him all fat and smiling after he was found "not guilty" for murdering Travon - seriously, the hair on the back of my neck stood up.

The DoJ should have taken the case and got him for violation of Mr. Martin's

The locals only charged him with murder after the pressure got too much and
they did a piss poor job of prosecuting him.

Shellie is in serious danger. This is the timeline when departing wives typically are murdered. If it was bad during the marriage, it can be way worse after the separation. Glad she is seeing the light about this maniac.

She ought to leave the state and not tell anyone where she went.

But it is also possible that he has convinced himself that her parents are the ones responsible for Shellie's sudden independent streak. He may go after them, Shellie, or all of them. There is no way he will blame himself for what is going on--in fact he will see what is happening as a betrayal and it will eat at him until he can no longer stand it.
He is a danger to the whole family.

George and his wife were at odds the night he killed a kid. At the time he committed murder a relative has a civil suit alleging years of sexual abuse and he has a record of multiple abuse with a girl friend culminating in restraining orders. After shooting and killing a teenager the money starts to roll in. His wife then proceeds to hold on to the money and has legal problems to which she pleads guilty. George then has a confrontation as his wife goes public with physical threats, hits his father in law in the nose and attempts to destroy evidence of his attack with a knife. Given his ability to avoid the law, his wife and father in law choose not to file charges. His attorney who has made his career defending George then drops him as a client. This is NOT an average divorce. I am sure there are other parts to this story but you will not hear them from George Zimmerman who for good reason and does not want to be quoted on a public record.

George the train wreck is headed for a final derailment.

Sun Sep 29, 2013, 06:39 PM

I imagine him pushing his cart down a supermarket aisle checking out the sweetened breakfast cereals,
somebody passes near him and whispers, "murderer".

He spins around, thinking, "It could have been any one of those several people nearby".
But he's not sure which.
He wants to yell out,
"Who said that?"

He leaves the supermarket, emotions seething beneath the surface---Should he have said something?

Half an hour later, he's at a meeting of gun-rights/segregationist-Tea-baggerz, where he is openly praised as a hero.
Many people give him hugs. His hand is shaken numerous times, vigorously.
"You actually had the guts to DO what we all would WANT to do ourselves, Mr. Zimmerman.
You are a great American and a role model for the rest of us". etc etc

Zimmy drives home, smiling, ear-to-ear. "I'm OK", he assures himself.

On the way home, Zimmy stops to get some gas. As he is pumping fuel, some guy pulling out of the station
says, out of his driver-side window as he glides past, "Murderer!"

Zimmy whips around, strains to see the license plate, but it is too dark, and the car pulls out too fast.
