Republicons have demonstrated repeatedly that they will not accept responsibility for their actions. They are shirkers. They always go AWOL on responsibility.

Yet another reason why no one respects them.

He sees himself as untouchable, but the moment someone says no to his abuse and does something about it, he's completely the victim. Typical bullying asshole who will never, ever get it.

Mon Nov 18, 2013, 10:49 PM

FLORIDA - A spokesman for the National Rifle Association said today that Florida's Stand Your Ground law gives gun owners the right to protect themselves against unarmed pregnant women. "Pregnant women are notoriously moody and emotional," the NRA spokesman said. "Better safe than sorry."

Florida Considers Eliminating Laws Altogether

TALLAHASSEE (The Borowitz Report)—Arguing that its current system of laws is out of step with life in today’s Florida, a growing chorus of lawmakers in the state are arguing for a measure that would eliminate laws altogether.

“Florida is rife with laws that say ‘Do this, don’t do that,’ ” said Gov. Rick Scott, a supporter of the measure. “Speaking as a Floridian, I have found it exhausting pretending to obey them.”

Mon Nov 18, 2013, 11:09 PM
Nov 2013

He said she was on his call to 911 - which he made after he threw his girlfriend out of her own house, broke up furniture, and pointed a gun at her (not in that order).

George has played this game before in 2005 when a previous girlfriend made accusations of domestic violence. He turned around and charged her with violence and ended up only having to go through anger management treatment.

I wonder if domestic violence is still a felony if the perp thinks their victim is pregnant even if she isn't?

Whatever - Zimmerman comes off as creepy in his 911 call. As his girlfriend said "he knows how to work this."

Zimmerman needs to undergo a psychiactric evaluation, and put in a secure safe room for his own safety and so he can't harm others at this point.
