George Zimmerman is arrested for 'aggravated assault with a weapon' in domestic dispute - the THIRD time he has been held by cops since he was cleared of the Travon Martin killing

Three is a charm. Unless you are George Zimmerman...  Remember him?  How could you forget? Below is is latest booking photo...

Last night (Friday, January 9th, 2015) at approximately 9:30 pm GZ was booked into the Seminole County Jail for his third incident of violence (his 2nd consecutive of "domestic violence" - "DV") since his infamous 2013 acquittal in the Trayvon Martin killing.

The first post-Trayvon arrest occurred shortly thereafter, in September, 2013, when his now ex-wife Shellie called 911 alleging that GZ had attacked and threatened both her and her father with a gun. That case was dismissed when Shellie refused to cooperate with the prosecution.

Shortly thereafter,. in November, 2013 GZ found himself a a guest of the Seminole County Jail once again after his then girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe, called 911 and claimed that he had battered her, but, like Shellie, Samantha too refused to cooperate with the prosecution and GZ's case was dismissed.

About a year later, in September, 2014 GZ was alleged to have been involved in  a road rage incident with a one Matthew Apperson, wherein GZ was accused of threatening to shoot Apperson, prompting the cops to stop GZ, who was in fact armed but who denied the incident.  (For you interest the transcript of the 911 call in this road rage incident follows:   “There was a passenger going, “Hey what’s your problem? Why are you shaking your finger?” I said, “Excuse me?… looked over and it’s George Zimmerman who was the driver and they were threatening to kick my expletive] and to shoot me! I said what are you going to do? Shoot me?” The dispatcher then asks, “And you know this was George Zimmerman?” The man responds, “Oh, for a fact!” “He then came up, in his ridgeline, this will be on camera, toward my car, almost hit my car, an aggressive move and said he was going to shoot me dead,” said Matt over the phone with a dispatcher. “Are they still there,” asked the dispatcher. “They peeled off,” said Matt. In the call  the dispatcher asks Matt, “Just confirming this was all verbal. You didn’t see a gun or anything.  This was just voiced to you?”The caller replied by saying, “That’s all verbal.  He did not flash a gun.”  No charges were pressed in this incident either.

Fast forward to last night.  No details have been released save that GZ was booked into the jail and charged with "aggravated assault with a weapon in a domestic dispute".  I do not presume to know either what happened or what will happen but I will go out on a limb and predict 2 things here and now:  

1)  The media will let us all know. They will let us know until our eyes and ears and bleeding and we beg for mercy that they cover and broadcast anything else.  Squid migration trends... anything.... and 2) If GZ is charged with his 3rd domestic dispute and his 4th violent crime then, regardless of legal or factual guilt or innocence he is going to prison.  The folks of Lake Mary, Seminole County, Florida, the USA and even the world have had enough of this jackwaggon.  Like his most analogous contemporary, OJ Simpson / the Juice, its only a matter of time before the Jury takes matters into its own hands and does the right thing.
