New allegation made against Zimmerman in court

New allegation made against Zimmerman in court

By MIKE SCHNEIDER, Associated Press | November 19, 2013 | Updated: November 19, 2013 8:18pm

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — George Zimmerman's girlfriend said he tried to choke her about a week ago during an altercation that was not initially reported to police, a prosecutor told a judge Tuesday during Zimmerman's first court appearance on domestic violence-related charges.

Samantha Scheibe feared for her life because Zimmerman mentioned suicide and said he "had nothing to lose," according to Assistant State Attorney Lymary Munoz.

After the hearing, Zimmerman's public defenders said he did not appear to be suicidal and expressed confidence he would be acquitted of any wrongdoing in Monday's domestic dispute.

Hours later, Zimmerman was released from jail after posting $9,000 bond. He was seen walking out of the jail smiling and getting into a car.

Judge Frederic Schott ordered him to stay away from Scheibe's house, wear a monitoring device and refrain from contact with her. He was forbidden from possessing guns or ammunition or travelling outside Florida.

severe domestic abuse. Threatening someone with a deadly weapon. And he's smiling walking out of court. The guy is either innocent as hell and fully trusts the justice system to prevail for him. Or he's guilty as hell, mentally sick, and either trusts his celebrity will save his sorry ass, or just doesn't care, has nothing to lose.

Freepers are saying that he's being set up. I'm sorry, but this is the second, maybe the third, woman that has accused him of domestic violence. I'm thinking that where there's smoke, there's fire.

threatening with a lethal weapon, restraining orders, out on bail again.

This recipe has played out many times before, until one day the trigger actually gets pulled during another "rage".

Zimmerman is a textbook case and the asshole needs to be off the streets.

there is a Zimmerman sex tape (eeewww eeewwww just threw up a little eeeeww).
And even worse, he (allegedly) sent a still photo from the tape to Samantha Scheibe's young daughter's Facebook page. After reading this, I remembered when Zimmerman's cousin accused him of molesting her.

http://www.wtsp.com/news/article/345439/435/George-Zimmermans-girlfriend-and-mother-detail-their-relationship

After one argument with Zimmerman, Scheibe said she went to her mother's house to get away from him.

While there, Mason said Scheibe's daughter received a text message from George Zimmerman. Mason said that message was a still image from an intimate home video of Scheibe and Zimmerman.

"He's now threatened her in writing and even sent a portion of the video to her baby girl," Mason wrote in a text message

WHY would ANYBODY go near this human garbage? Why would anyone want to video themselves having sex with him? WHERE is the appeal? Nobody pays attention to track record or personal history? Where was she anyway? Down in an underground bunker or something last summer? Did she miss the whole Trayvon mess? Or if she didn't miss it, did NONE of that register with her?

I wondered the same thing about the blonde who went for O.J. after that dismal business. How could he get ANY woman's interest from then on.

Sometimes I come across things I just do NOT understand...

Last edited Wed Nov 20, 2013, 07:35 PM - Edit history (2)

to me is a bit of a conformation to what I was thinking about his, what I would call his narcissistic need to be in the publics view through media headlines. His live in friend seems to indicate his need to be the news or dominate through it. and it comes on in the form of an onset during a depression cycle.

It seems he pops into the news seemingly suddenly when there is some type of political furry going on. Big News-,

Such as Benghazi -.

Since he thinks the world is all about him, no news in the news is bigger news than he.It's kind of an abstract way of looking at what he hell sets him off.

If he isn't news,he isn't happy.
That smiling face -the villainous smile-, when those cameras are upon him ,he becomes like an actor playing to the cameras strutting his stuff.The downward spiral -,that is more like an actor that comes to believe his or her own publicity which as a rule marks the beginning of the end of that career .

Actors that just like to work don't mind bit roles playing villains -it's work and exposure leading to other acting roles. Zimmerman likes the villainous role too.

Zimmerman's lawyer made mention of Zimmerman stepping outside the PR plan which lead to his dumping Zimmerman as a client.

Clearly Zimmerman had his own PR plan which isn't panning out in his favor. Publicity is his drug of choice and by it he gains much gratification which in turn allows him to live his fantasies until his depression takes over or the reality of his circumstances consume his thought process.

Zimmerman is proving himself out to be a narcissistic sociopath and his nice guy character is that which he has honed throughout his life,early on probably seeking his fathers approval and approval in general.


He is a coward so nothing to loose is everything to loose so that means he loves death but he fears death although he would find it very easy to kill again and again.

But of course this is just my suspicion .

He's like a powder keg soon to go off.
If the thought of suicide does in fact enter into his thoughts, that may be a way of convincing himself he has nothing to loose. What he cannot loose is his fear of his own death meaning he would most likely not off himself.

Suicide by cop might suit his fancy though.
I think the guy that once worked with Zimmerman at a car dealership pretty much summed up Zimmerman the sociopath.

However it has progressed to the point where he is convinced he can get away with anything.
The guy that once worked with Zimmerman said he thought Zimmerman will probably get away with it. That statement was made before the case made it's way to the court room.

Given that information was put forward meaning brought out into the open for people to except or not, it stands to reason there is no real way to understand it other than looking at it for what it is. It is becoming ever so clear that Zimmerman is the victimizer not the victim. But the sociopath has developed somewhat of a mastery in reversing the blame onto his victims making his victims out to be the victimizers. Clearly Zimmerman is a predator. The former co worker at a car dealership pointed out how he does it or one of his methods. Fallowing that time line through to what is going on with Zimmerman at current,- Zimmerman cannot stop and will not stop until he is stopped.

Ok so Zimmerman might realize that he is not in control over the things that he does or would like to do . So given he is a control freak that self admission may have promped him to consider stopping himself since he can't stop himself from escalating. But he is a coward and if he did take too many sleeping pills ,it was a staged event to make some type of gain out of it leading to obtaining some type of gratification. Apparently it worked because she stuck with him and the staged event made it's way into public domain. He can't say exactly how many pills he took but he does know he took enough of those to knock himself out. He can't say really but subconsciously he knows. Or you might say he who is the predator knew exactly what he was doing and what he expected to gain by it.

Zimmerman has most likely entertained the thought of firing off a bullet into somebody,anybody since he first got his hand around a revolver. I would guess since adolescence given it stands to reason his father kept a revolver in the house for home protection. This is to say I think that Zimmerman has been fantasizing about shooting somebody for a very long time. Setting up his victims such as his co worker at a car dealership was the next best thing to him-. It's about destroying people to him- rendering his victims powerless which in-turn makes Zimmerman feel god like.

If you can understand how predators such as Zimmerman operate,that makes it much more easy to understand even though there is no logic in it what so ever.
when his thoughts of doom and gloom catch up to him ,he thinks about escape-but he is a coward first and foremost. Taking the drive to Texas was escapism -somewhere,anywhere other than here.

If you have been fallowing the case since it broke-than you know what I am getting at.

Thanks for the link .

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/11/20/girlfriend-zimmerman-alone-depressed-and-obsessed-with-guns-after-acquittal/

She and her mother said Zimmerman sank into a deep depression when the media frenzy died down and doctors prescribed medication, which they said he did not take regularly.

Zimmerman spent days in bed, Scheibe said, and she believes he tried to take an overdose of sleeping pills and stuck a gun into his own mouth when he awoke, although she said she talked him out of shooting himself.

Scheibe said Zimmerman threatened to take his own life on multiple occasions, and she said the threats tended to come when he his name fell out of the headlines.

She thinks Zimmerman enjoyed the media attention he received, although she knew that would prevent him from living a normal life.


Fucking attention whore of a psychopath.

Who fired a warning shot is still in jail separated from her baby and children. Oh yes, abusive men just get released, but a woman who tries to stand up for herself must be locked up.
