Will somebody please permanently take George Zimmerman's guns away from him, at least? That boy's out of control. Got money problems, got anger management problems, wife-girlfriend-abuser problems, stalk-and-shoot problems. Got driving-too-fast problems. Do we need to start a George Zimmerman Betting Pool, gambling on the date when he'll kill again? In "self defense," of course.
Seems that boy can't stay out of the news. Or out of trouble. He's like a train just determined to have a wreck somewhere. And now everyone within a mile of him has to be on tenterhooks keeping out of his way. "Look out! Here comes George and his AK-47! Run Away!" Need to have a judge somewhere declare he has to stay 100 yards away from everyone on the planet. That might help. Until the NRA gifts him with a sniper rifle.
For sure, the NRA loves the guy, no doubt about it. He's their poster child, the best example of the Second Amendment they've got going. The founding fathers would be proud. Stand-your-ground, no matter where it is! That's the ticket. Just move that ground line anywhere you want it to be. Lock and load. It was her fault. She yelled at me and I was in fear for my life. Ker-BLAM! I stalked him until he turned around and came back to confront me and scared me so I shot him in self-defense. Ker-BLAM! I don't know why everyone's so upset. What's the problem?
Obviously, the girls love this bad boy. True, his wife got scared after an alleged altercation involving guns and threats and she decamped. But pretty quickly he got a new girlfriend, until he allegedly pointed a shotgun at her and she called 911. Funny how silly these women are. Little 'ol shotgun. What's the fuss about?
This time, however, the cops hauled him away, he spent the night in the hoosegow accused of felony aggravated assault and two misdemeanors. The judge took away his guns, slapped a satellite monitor on him and instructions to stay away from the girlfriend. Then his wife served divorce papers on him while he was in jail, his enabling family had to cough up the $9,000 bail since, as the Orlando Sentinel reports, he's already $2.5 million in debt (legal fees from the Trayvon Martin killing). Then the judge kicked him loose and he's now back on the streets declaring it was all his girlfriend's fault.
Which is why I say, can somebody get this boy some help here? Guy's got problems and those problems are looking for trouble. Real trouble. And I'm afraid he's gonna keep looking until he finds it. And somebody else is gonna die.

First, put away your phoney goody two shoes crying towel. Had Obama and chores stayed out of a local legal mess, Zimmerman would just have faded away to whatever slum he came from. But no, the media was whiped in to a woe-is-poor Martin racial feeding frenzy.
Get off the AK-47 soap box Ann, you know nothing about weapons, but you should be outraged by being very much lied to by Obama. He KNEW the Affordable Health Care program was not ready, yet he lied and lied and is still lying!
Forget Zimmerman, that's a waste of time. Join us in writting letters to Boxer, Pelosi and demand Obamacare be halted for at least a year to give some real experts time to work out whether it will actually work or is it just another extremely expensive welfare program for a few.
Not a word about our veterans, but she wants "help" for Zimmerman?
Jeez, why are you guys hopping all over the Affordable Care Act? How on earth is that related to Zimmerman?
(Let's not forget, the Affordable Care Act was a glimmer in Richard Nixon's eye, was later hatched at the conservative Heritage Foundation and let's not leave out Romney Care either, which is working great. All Republicans! Oh wait.....I forgot, a BLACK man encouraged and nursed the act through congress-euuuuuu, cooties, right? THAT is really the problem for you anons isn't it?
Racism, That is all I can figure that got you going to bring up Travon Martin and link THAT to the Affordable Care Act!
Halting it for a year will kill it, you think we don't get that? Yeah, really, who cares about those poor schlubs who don't have insurance right? It's their fault that they can't afford insurance. It's their fault they have a pre-existing condition! Let them go to the emergency room, right? Well who pays for that? Want to guess? The government!
"It is estimated that more than $18 billion could be saved annually if those patients whose medical problems are considered “avoidable” or “non-urgent” were to take advantage of primary or preventive health care and not rely on ERs for their medical needs."
The Republicans came up with this idea to SAVE MONEY!

BTW - who or what are "chores?"
Face it Lynette, ACA is a very expensive welfare program!
Everytime someone hides behind the term "government", they are just weasling out of being truthful about whatever program being promoted and the direct cost in taxes. Taxes, that's what the middle class is tired of seeing raised and raised and raised with NO reduction of some pork-barrel special interest program. How long before the wonderful "government" is providing all medical, shelter and food for everyone (except the special politicians who vote that in) Take an economics class someday, the middle class is tired of supporting the liberal give away programs!
Trying to discuss Zimmerman is a waste of time. This article is just Ann trying to stir the pot.
Anon 1:47, what is your plan to get people covered with insurance if it isn't the one Obama borrowed from the Repubs?
What, we can't discuss the news anymore?
To the commenters who have derided Ann's posting here, do you have any thoughts about the focus of the posting, the mental stability of George Zimmerman? Do any of you honestly believe that he should be able to own any firearms? Do you not think that if he is allowed to continue to own a firearm that eventually he will shoot someone else? Let's see if any of you can address the topic of the column, not go off on some other issue that isn't related to the article.
Happy to, Bob! Zimmerman is scary and shouldn't even be near a gun, and the case fascinates me because he is just a representative of so many other people just like him who haven't killed yet but will. It's sad that emotionalism, not logic, controls the discourse around guns. But that's the power of marketing; the gun manufacturers are pros.
Try looking at the Zimmerman issue in particular. He has been found innocent of killing Martin in self-defense.
Then the media, and including the POTUS, set about a firestorm that will not stop! I would offer that Zimmerman is now a target for everyone and should be in fear of being shot himself.
Remember a court of law found him innocent, and yet you do-gooders want to execute him! So apparently law is written only for you and you get to chose what portions you agree with? You now allow the "Knock Out" lawlessness to go unpunished. No wonder Zimmerman is screwed more up than he was before he got into that fight. You created this mess! Not Zimmerman, not the gun manufacturers, not even those dastardly Republicans! But it is you, the liberals and media who have created this! If the US had a President who could actually lead the entire country instead of creating and furthering a polarization of the population, maybe we wouldn't be having these kinds of discussions, but unfortuanately this President is not a leader with the abilities to bring about meaningful gun ownership laws, much less any meaningful change in America.
Anon 12:53. The court found him "not guilty," It didn't find him "innocent." One is a legal construct, the other a "moral/ethical" construct. There's often a huge difference between them, in the real world.
Bob, I'm not sure some of the Anonnymice CAN focus very well on any topic. If you read Anon 12:53 above, he keeps falling into a rant against strawmen of his own making (Who in this discussion "wants to execute" Zimmerman??) then goes off crashing into the verbal thicket of his own making.
But, oddly, an earlier comment on Obamacare that first seemed off topic, actually is connected to my post, in an odd way. Many states have expanded their Medicade programs as part of Obamacare, thereby offering more and better medical care to poor people, LIKE ZIMMERMAN. In addition, Obamacare requires a better parity of mental health care with regular physical care, which means better, more expanded mental health care for people LIKE ZIMMERNAN.
Unfortunately, he lives in Florida, which has refused Medicade expansion and is doing everything it can to limit access by people to get on the state exchanges, etc. So, no help for Zimmerman.
Anonymous @12:53: Let me gently correct you; George Zimmerman was not found "innocent" - that ruling happens very rarely in a court of law, and as in most cases like the Zimmerman trial, he was found "not guilty". To equate innocent with not guilty is either hopeful or lazy; George Zimmerman is guilty of taking another's life, there is no doubt of that, but he was found not guilty of violating the laws that concern the use of a firearm; he is most certainly not "innocent" by any means.
Wow. I cannot believe some of the comments made here. I logged in to say George needs to get some help before he kills again and I read a lot of opinionated nonsense. Mostly angry people stringing words together without any semblance of wisdom nor compassion. Just wow.
Hi Kenny, welcome to the blogosphere......
Hi Kenny,
As a friend, I don't recommend commenting on this blog. Too many mixed nuts gathered in one place.
Hi, Kenny. Welcome. Gosh, a sane voice. How wonderful. And, yes, there's a tiny number of, uh, reason-challenged? Anonymice --folks who love logging on and mixing up their crazy salad. Pay them no mind. They're amusing themselves. I call them my FanBoy/Girls. When they get too goofy, I delete them. So, not to worry. And, welcome.
Blogging here is a big mistake for any sane person. Skip it. Notice how Calhoun blogs after almost every comment. Stifling as hell. She is her own biggest Fangirl and should delete herself to clean the mental ward of this sickness.
Otherwise, abandon all hope ye who enter here.
Two posts are "blogs after almost every comment." Huh?
