Business denies hiring Zimmerman for security

By KYLE HIGHTOWER, Associated Press | July 29, 2014 | Updated: July 29, 2014 1:53pm

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The manager of a Florida business where George Zimmerman was questioned by police said Tuesday that Zimmerman was never hired to provide security, despite his claims otherwise to authorities.

DeLand police report that two officers spotted Zimmerman and his dog parked behind Pompano Pat's, a motorcycle and gun store, on Sunday shortly after midnight and approached him.

Zimmerman, acquitted last summer in the shooting of the 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, told officers that the owner gave him permission to be there to provide security after a recent burglary, according to the police report. Officers attempted to confirm that but couldn't reach the owner.

No citations were issued because "There was no evidence to support that a crime had occurred or was about to occur," Officer Jessica Mayo wrote in the report.

I can't believe this link is still showing up as though it were real.

It is satire. Bad satire, but satire nonetheless, and the website says so on every page.

Which is answered by the question: Who'd want to fire him?

Would you want to be the poor sap who has to show this fuckwad the door? He'd unlimber, blow a hole right through you, and then go crying to his NRA-crazed buddies in the police force that an unarmed desk-jockey was threatening his life...

He just hasnt killed anyone for a while. He did beat up his GF so were reminded that he is prone to violence. We all know he is a remorseless psychopath.

It seems like George Zimmerman will either kill another person, or will get into serious trouble again.
