It just keeps gettin’ better and better:
George Zimmerman armed when stopped for speeding in Texas, report says
George Zimmerman, the former Florida neighborhood watch leader cleared of all charges in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, was pulled over for speeding in North Texas on Sunday, CBS DFW reports.
According to the station, Zimmerman was armed when officers pulled him over on Highway 80 in Forney, east of Dallas.
The officer reportedly did not recognize Zimmerman, who was driving a Honda pickup. Zimmerman told the officer he was armed and was then told to put the weapon in his glove compartment, according to the station. The officer then told Zimmerman he could go on his way if he had no criminal issues.
The incident was captured on the officer’s dashcam.
At some point during the traffic stop, Zimmerman asked the officer whether he recognized him from television and the officer said he did not, the station reports.
When asked where he was going, the 29-year-old Zimmerman reportedly told the officer, no place in particular. He was released on a warning.
I’m gonna make a prediction right now and say that the video of this incident will soon be a viral sensation on YouTube. I am also gonna predict that certain bloviating gasbags will lead their shows with this story tonight.
What I want to know is how he got out of a ticket. I’m guessing the cop recognized him after all.
@piersmorgan @CBSNews Oh for Pete's Sake. It's Texas. Everyone's armed. My florist has a gun. Get the hell out

Does anyone wonder why, if it’s so dangerous over here in the colonies, Morgan is still here? Oh, that’s right. They booted him out of the UK.

with all the threats against his life, if I were zimmerman I would carry a pistol, a 12 gauge and a bazooka
And live in Texas.
San Antonio is a very pretty city
Interesting that the plate was blurred out. Coulda bin almost anyone. “What I want to know is how he got out of a ticket. I’m guessing the cop recognized him after all.” Might be because Forney is on I-80 and in a position to be a bit ‘speed trappy’, and the cop was smart enough to play that part down because of the national news value. It was obvious the cop was never in fear for his life..
Look again. At one point the cops drew his pistol.
Plus, the cop was black. He also had skittles.
Would he draw his weapon just as a precaution because Zimmerman had a weapon?
Yeah, drew it, asked a question, smiled and put it back. Cautionary in my book, not fearful. He woulda stepped back fast if he had sensed danger, IMO.
When he first approached the veh he raised his handheld and clicked it by the back window. Was he scanning something or pairing up his Bluetooth?

That racist cop totes profiled GZ for “driving while Peruvian”
Um, that’s driving while “white-peruvian” 🙂
He asked the cop if he recognized him after the cop repeated his answer of the “Going no where in particular” with a “Why do you say that?” And then he showed the cop his license — you can see the light bulb go off above the cop’s head when he looks at the name on the license. That’s *when* he recognized him & let him off with a warning.
And yes, Piers –it is his right he hasn’t been convicted of SHIT in a court of law. We don’t lose our rights in this country without due process. Personally, I think it’s good for the freaks out there who are issuing death threats against GZ to be warned that he’s armed.Might make them think twice before making an attempt on his life.

this is one of the best explanations of the consequences of obamacare I have seen
I haven’t got a ticket in 30 years. If you don’t go over 10 MPH over the limit and don’t drive recklessly you won’t get a ticket. He was on 80 just north of IH30 just out of Dallas, had out of state tags, and didn’t seem drunk or smell like marijuana. He didn’t act guilty or like an asshole. So no ticket. And half of the people they pull over have guns in the vehicle. What is the big deal? I would leave Florida too if I was him.

isn’t this just peachy
Just when you think that Filthy Filner is the lowest form of life on earth his lawyer proves you wrong.
I fucking hate lawyers.
well then sue his parents, they should have dropkicked him a few times and taught him respect and manners.
as for his excuse that his behavior is because of the time that he grew up in that is BS.
OMG, he quoted Bob frickin’ Dylan??? Hubris is in adequate to describe that letter.
no words needed

Good for that crowd. Maybe your son was using a high tech sound altering device. Just the sort of thing those guys do. 🙂

I am so confused
I am shocked, disappointed and dismayed. My daughter forced my Hoosier Grandkids to eat veggie burgers for dinner tonight – with green beans!
I feel like I failed as a parent.
how horrible how could she do that to those innocent children
She always did have a mean streak.
(She got it from her mom)
as a grandparent you will have a chance to make up for the injustice done to these poor tortured innocent children.
candy, soda, french fries and real hamburgers will be on menu I hope
Those kids need ice cream, stat!

OT….I’m doomed!!! My 79 yo sister has gotten me addicted to Breaking Bad.
Only a couple weeks until the final 8 episodes start.
Sounds sorta familiar…. When a decade ago, a 25 yo blonde invites herself on a cross country road trip and my comment was “What is your problem, why do you want to f*** your grand father???
Never look a gift blonde in the mouth.
Only time in history that a woman, my now wife, was worried that I would dump her for an older woman .

I watched this tonight.
I have noticed for awhile now that there are articles on how islam is being pushed in public school. While other religions were not allowed or trashed.
You know how you are seeing something, but you tell yourself no that can not be happening here. This is America there is a separation between church and state.
This video sums up what I have been seeing for a while

Obama picked Biden as impeachment insurance.
That m-i-g-h-t do it, but it’s still tempting. I like that Atlanta pastor’s appellation for him. Prisoner Obama.
At the beginning of that you tube clip you can hear the officer calling in GZ’s tag number on his radio. GZ needs to dump that truck and that tag asap!
