They were so closed and sealed that everyone knows about them. He's allowed to own a weapon because he's never been convicted of a felony. Why should he treated any differently than anyone else. Why does it seem one minute he was in trouble, and the next he was not? The TROs expired. The misdemeanor case was closed...he pled. What would you expect to happen?
I don’t know Maggie but like I said I am very inquisitive in nature since childhood. Most of the time I keep my curiosity to myself but once in a while I just let my thought runs loose in plain sight.
Like, in Zimmerman’s one incident in 2005 in which he was charged with assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence, which is a felony. He admitted to such charges himself in his application to the Citizens Police Academy.
In his account, he stated “I was arrested in July of 2005 for assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence. Both charges were immediately dropped to resisting arrest without violence and then dropped altogether.”
George Zimmerman
This event occurred during an undercover sting operation by the ATF for underage drinking. The officer in question was in the process of arresting his friend for underage drinking and Zimmerman stepped in to intervene with assault on the officer.
I don’t know but I’ve heard cases of people being charged with resisting arrest and/or assaulting an officer, which in most cases were viewed as a very serious charge but very seldom have I encountered a case immediately dropped to lesser charge and then suddenly dropped altogether and the case file sealed. Now, we are talking about a felony charge of violence assault against a law enforcement officer while the officer was on duty arresting his underage friend. It appeared the case didn’t even go to trial and at that time Zimmerman was an adult. Though he was required to undergo some kind of diversion program but I still think he should be at least charged for contributing to the delinquency of a minor if not for interfering the duty of a law enforcement officer.
In his explanation on the application, Zimmerman stated that “He never told me he was an officer and assaulted me first.”
But, that was just another of those Zimmerman’s finger pointing absurdity excuse that we see the same in this case. Zimmerman was not the one being arrested so why would the officer tell him anything?
Apparently, when the officer pulled out the handcuffs to arrest the underage kid for drinking the officer surely had revealed himself to the kid and telling him the reason for the arrest. According to one source, Zimmerman jumped in and pushed the officer. To claim that the officer pushed him first when the officer was focusing on arresting the kid just doesn’t add up, Certainly not in the court when it comes down to your word against the officer’s word even when it’s not even this absurd.
Then in that same year he was also charged with domestic violence against his fiance. The case was also closed without further explanation. The question that kept bugging me is: Did Zimmerman have help from his father in all these or are these just luck and coincidence?
And now this Trayvon Martin case was about to undergo the same exact fate and following the same exact pattern: case closed, no explanation. Except this time the grieving parents weren’t just rolling over and let it happened to their son. When the public got hold of this matter, their outcry for justice compelled the Sanford law enforcement and the police chief to come out and claimed self-defense and lying about the shooter having a clean record.
With regards to him being allowed to own a gun, I know he wasn’t convicted. But, he had a felony charge of violence against a law enforcement office on top of resisting arrest and domestic violence that weren’t resolved but simply case closed without explanation and then sealed.
Also quite disturbing is that his application to the Citizens Police Academy was accepted with the note: “YOUR DISCLOSURE OF THE ARREST PLUS THE INCIDENT INVOLVED WAS ‘UNUSUAL’”.
But then, who knows, in the application Zimmerman also threw in this info:
“My father is a retired Magistrate Judge for the Supreme Court of Virginia and my mother was a deputy clerk of court for over 20 years.”
Like I said, this is just my personal opinion about my suspicion on the daddy judge’s role in Zimmerman’s past arrest records that led up to this. You may not agree but it’s my opinion and I laid it all out for you with reasonable explanation whether you accept it or not.
