A Myspace account, which has been confirmed by several sources as belonging to George Zimmerman, describes arrests/felony ATF charges, and accusations of domestic violence against Zimmerman, in 2005. The page also contains racist statements that reference Mexicans, and sexist comments directed as his ex-fiancee, whom he refers to as the ex-hoe. On the account, onlytobekingagain, Zimmerman uses the name Joe G. His attorney confirmed to the Miami Herald that the 2005 myspace page does belong to his client.
On August 24, 2005, Zimmerman posted this comment Im still free! The ex hoe tried her hardest, but the judge saw through it! Big Mike, reppin the Dverse security makin me look a million bucks, broke her down! Thanks to everyone for checkin up on me! Stay tuned for the A.T.F. charges
Court documents obtained by MSNBC.com in 2012 show multiple run ins with law enforcement during this same period of time.
The three incidents took place in Orange County, Fla.
In 2005 he was arrested and charged with resisting officer with violence and battery of law enforcement officer, both which are third-degree felonies. The charge was reduced to resisting officer without violence and then waived when he entered an alcohol education program. Contemporaneous accounts indicate he shoved an officer who was questioning a friend for alleged underage drinking at an Orange County bar.
In August 2005, Zimmermans ex-fiancee, Veronica Zuazo, filed a civil motion for a restraining order alleging domestic violence. Zimmerman counter-filed for a restraining order against Zuazo. The competing claims were resolved with both restraining orders being granted.
A few days after Zimmermans August 24 comment he posted the following:
2 felonies dropped to 1 misdemeanor!!!!!!!!!!! The man knows he was wrong but still got this hump, Thanks to everyone friends and fam, G baby you know your my rock!

I firmly believe that it is only a matter of time before he messes up again and people will be ready to dig into his life and use social media to make sure that his background is made public and that he faces the consequences for his actions. People are aware and they are prepared and if you think that social media reaction was something in the TM case, it will be nothing compared to what it will be the next time.

(2,674 posts)Based on his record of arrests and paranoid fear of minorities plus his compulsion to be a vigilante, we will be hearing more from him and it won't be good news.

I bet we'll learn more about Zimmy in the days to come. How long before Freepers distance themselves, when we do?

(51,003 posts)His disparaging remarks appeared to be against Hispanics? Not saying he's not racist, however. I have no way of knowing. I do know that he "profiled" Trayvon Martin and got away with murder.
