Will George Zimmerman kill again?: His history and the law pose serious risks

[DonViejo]

Between George Zimmerman's history of conduct, his state of mind and our judicial system, it's a very real question

EDWARD WYCKOFF WILLIAMS

George Zimmerman appears to be a man unhinged. As has been well chronicled, the 30-year-old former neighborhood watch captain – who in July was acquitted for the murder of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin — found himself back in police custody this week. This time he is accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and domestic battery against his 27-year-old girlfriend Samantha Scheibe, who he told authorities is pregnant with his child.

Scheibe told a police dispatcher that Zimmerman was in the house with four weapons – including a shotgun, an AR-15-style assault rifle and two handguns.

But perhaps this was to be expected. Zimmerman’s history of violent behavior existed well before his now infamous murder of an unarmed African-American child.

Now the scary but inevitable question is: Will he kill again? ....

1. He's managed to get TMZ to post a "lovefest" defense of him against current charges

It is incredibly manipulative and sick... I'll let others go find it, rather than post a link, as I do not intend to give that trash site any more hits.

2. If he does kill again

it will be murder / suicide. The girlfriend said he has been depressed and suicidal

11. I'm guessing he'll end up suiciding by cop.

Seriously. He's too much of a coward to kill himself directly. He knows his life is essentially over. He has learned to work the system -- hence his behavior this time around, with his own 911 call to counter the girlfriend's, barricading the police out while he locked up his guns, and then calmly cooperating knowing it's a total he said/she said.

Just like when he destroyed the video evidence his ex-wife had, turning that into a he said/she said.

But being able to work the system and finding a way forward in society are two different things. Sane people will cross to the other side of the street when they see him, and increasingly everybody will have seen him.

He'll just keep crossing the line, pushing events further and further until he ends up dead. Hopefully he won't murder anybody else before he gets there.

3. The guy who picked him up after he posted his bond?

Looks like his cop friend who testified on his behalf in court. Disgusting.

4. I used to think it was a far-fetched question.

That he had learned his lesson after the murder trial and would lay low, much like Casey Anthony has.

Now, I'm not so sure.

I do think that if he does kill again, chances are it may be himself. And while I would never condone suicide for anyone, better him than anyone else at this point.

5. This man needs to be permanently incarcerated and removed from society.

6. Great article you linked! Hope people take the time to read it. Thanks.

7. The only thing that will put Zimmerman in jail

I hate to be this cynical, but sometimes it feels like the only thing that will result in Zimmerman's incarceration is if he kills a rich white man. Apparently no other levels of victim count in the eyes of the law.

8. Say what you want about Dr. Phil, but he has a saying that always rings true to me:

"The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior." Absent any signs of remorse or efforts to change, it is nearly inevitable that Zimmerman will generate further situations involving guns. We can only hope that he's on the wrong side of the gun this time - I believe it's the only thing that will stop him.

And, as an aside: how are you feeling, Zimmerman jury? Glad you let this sociopath off the hook? May your days and nights be plagued with doubt.

9. Zimmerman's not a normal guy.

I don't think things are going to end well for him.

I think that most people, if they were in his position, would be doing everything they could to avoid any possibility of being accused of wrong-doing. If I were him, I wouldn't even tear the tags of my mattress.
