September 9, 201313 yr Author comment_79876 I don't know all what happened yet, but if I had to go based on what I've read so far -- I'd say he has anger issues and has very little self control. Report

September 10, 201313 yr comment_79885 I'm confused. She said her Dad's nose was jacked up and looked broken, but the fire officials (why was it the fire officials that responded when she requested an ambulance?) were quoted saying "But fire officials who responded to the scene “checked everyone physically” and found that “no one had any visible marks or needed any treatment,” according to Hudson." Anyhow, domestic disturbance. People do stupid shit when divorce time rolls around. Report
September 10, 201313 yr Author comment_79889 She said it looked jacked up and could be broken. And that's a good thought to have, even if it isn't broken. I just hope the witness across the street gets interviewed and we get to hear/see it. When you're in the middle of the dispute and things get crazy, you're not always the best witness. I also would like to know who is paying for Zimmerman's bodyguard. Report

September 10, 201313 yr comment_79906 Update on story In an audio recording of Shellie Zimmerman's 911 call, she can be heard saying Zimmerman smashed an iPad she was holding and cut it with a pocket knife, struck her father in the nose and threatened both while putting a hand on a gun.Deputy Police Chief Colin Morgan said officers did not recover a gun, and Bracknell said Shellie Zimmerman later dropped her claim that a gun was involved."Domestic violence can't be invoked because she has changed her story and says she didn't see a firearm," Bracknell said.The dispute "was between him and his wife and her father,'' Morgan said. "There were some allegations that there had been an assault, but we could not confirm any of it.'' http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/09/09/george-zimmerman-gun-incident-florida-trayvon-martin/2788443/ Report
September 10, 201313 yr Author comment_79912 It was probably in his car's glove box. The same one he has had in there when he was pulled over for speeding those two times. Or on his body guard. Or maybe she was lying. I want to hear what the eyewitness has to say. I hope some reporters talked to him. Report
