Somebody Shot George Zimmerman, Let’s Speculate Why

Somebody Shot George Zimmerman, Let’s Speculate Why


image:
Was Zimmerman targeted for Loving Freedom Too Much?

In breaking “Everyone saw This Coming” news, we learn that Second Amendment Hero George Zimmerman suffered minor injuries in a shooting incident Monday afternoon in Lake Mary, Florida. Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell said that Zimmerman was not badly hurt in the incident, which apparently involved Zimmerman and one other man. News video shot from a helicopter showed a bullet hole in the passenger-side window of Zimmerman’s pickup.

In its most recent update, NBC affiliate WESH-2 added that Bracknell “said the shooting may have been related to an ‘ongoing dispute’ involving Zimmerman and another person.” It’s not clear whether Zimmerman fired any shots himself, but Yr Wonkette’s betting line has money on “Are You Kidding? When Wouldn’t George Zimmerman Get All Shooty?”

. . . . .
As you may recall, Chief Bracknell is officially Not A Fan of his city’s most famous resident; after one of Zimmerman’s other gun-waving incidents, Bracknell told a reporter for the Los Angeles Times,
“Man, it would be fantastic if you have an apartment out there [in Los Angeles] for George Zimmerman,” Bracknell, the police chief, told The Times. “This guy is killing me. We’re just a small-town police department — this really taxes us.”


We know virtually nothing else about what happened today, so it would be irresponsible not to speculate — within the bounds of the Rules for Commenting Radicals, of course. Some possibilities:

One of Zimmerman’s former girlfriends caught up with him.
Road Rage.
Rhoid Rage.
Rage Rage.
Narrow escape from New Black Panthers hit squad.
George Zimmerman was wounded while protecting Florida’s sovereignty from Operation Jade Helm 15.
Idiot shitheads with guns, also forget it, Jake, it’s Florida.
. . . . .

10. You're forgetting the Kel-Tec sticker that was supposedly on the back of the truck.

And yes, Kel-Tec is the manufacturer of the gun Zimmerman used to kill Trayvon Martin.


And no, I wish I wasn't making that up.

One idiot in possession of a firearm can open fire on another idiot with a firearm on a four
lane roadway at a busy time of day without any regard to anyone else around them.
