202. GZ didn't even own his condo!

Thu Jul 11, 2013, 10:36 AM

Jul 2013

GZ didn't even own a condo--he rented-- and couldn't be a member of the HOA! TM's parents sued the HOA and received an undisclosed amount from the insurance company. Obviously the insurance co. felt that GZ made a huge mistake in his actions. I bet the HOA wish they never met this nut-- they'll be paying for years. You better believe that TM's parents will bring a civil suit on wrongful death of a minor. Poor George! He'll be poor and then some after this. Can you imagine GZ got paid nothing for protecting other people's property with a f***ing GUN! This guy has been playing cops and robbers in this neighborhood for the past 5 years. In this fatal night he finally snapped and took a life.
With all the money he's collected from repukes, I wonder if they know he's a registered Democrat!
