30. That was my thinking as well.

He is gonna be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life.

Just consider the type of person I think we can surmise he is, from his behavior. WAY overreacting, criminally-so IMO, in this case. A history of violent, disruptive behavior - nothing to the severity of having killed someone, but it looks as though he has anger issues and complexes of all kinds. Can't get into the police force to which he presumes he's ordained. Can't get his woman to obey (so he assaults her), can't get those "fucking punks" to stop defying him (because, remember, "they always get away&quot . There are several manifestations of these. I read somewhere in the midst of all this, a theory about the kind of individual with some pretty profound authoritarian issues - he MUST be obeyed. OR ELSE. Has to be "in charge," "the enforcer," the guy to be feared - what the heck went on in his house when he was a little kid???? WHAT is he trying to compensate for? Needed that gun with him.

With the kind of mental/moral turmoil he's in, he needed to underscore his Alpha Male status, especially with a dad with a distinguished career (retired judge - a civic leader with kind of standing judges have) whom perhaps he feels he has to out-do. He's got a brother in there, too that he has to assert dominance over as well. They probably fought over that and everything else as kids. JUST GUESSING HERE, but I'm trying to figure out this guy to assess the kind of danger he now poses to the general public - as the new president of the "Beat-the-Rap Club." Still very likely keeping the "Most Hated Man in America" title - heck, MORESO now.

Seems like a jumpy guy. Otherwise why would he feel the need to be packin' heat all the time? WHY would he want a concealed carry permit? Why would he be going out for all these police positions, hanging out and befriending officers and City Hall people (maybe contacts through his dad?) and be hung up on self-defense class. What was it he was taking? MME or something? Several hours a week, three times a day? And given all this, he still felt like such a weenie that he insists that was him screaming like a little boy for help in an altercation with an unarmed teenager while he himself was armed? I mean, WHAT kind of macho-wannabe, tough-guy complex is THIS???

My guess is that George Zimmerman has been simmering for a long time in a witches' brew of negative emotions and conflicts and fears - LOTS of fears and insecurities and uncertainties in this guy. TONS. A paranoiac, too. He seems like a guy who sees boogey men everywhere. And personally, he's had problems with his wife, they've had money problems - surely he deserves a MUCH more kingly sum than whatever he's been getting paid. I mean, look at the first thing they did with all the donations that flooded in? Went straight to their credit cards that had high-five-figure debts accumulated. Perhaps he's the kind of guy with his manhood all tied up in his earning power and his ability to be Lord Breadwinner, as his father probably was (on a judge's salary). So he probably has a complex about that, because with all that debt piling up, he evidently wasn't able to stay on top of it with what paychecks he brought in. No fair. Upstanding guy, deserves better out of life, and the "bad guys" are getting away with everything! Gotta blame somebody for it all, because seriously, it can't possibly be HIS fault. He's the real victim here. Criminy, his ENTIRE position in this crime was based on fear!

So if he was fearful and paranoid, believing the worst in some "types" of people, BEFORE he shot Trayvon Martin, he'll be consumed with it now. I would recommend against making eye contact with him, if ever one chanced upon him. And get as far away as quickly as possible. As good as it may ever get for him - probably the Pox Noise brigade will be offering him a contract or at least frequent face time and there'll be book deals and the speaker circuit sponsored by the NRA and/or the Heritage Foundation or some such crackpot organization - he will always be in discomfort. Unsure. Uncomfortable in his own skin. Jumpy. Fearful. Paranoid. I would imagine what's in him will get him into trouble again. He thought he might have enemies before. Unfortunately, he definitely does now. But he has NO ONE to blame. And maybe deep down, this little itch in his conscience keeps telling him that - and he keeps insisting he's innocent of that, too. Being around people in denial, what I've noticed is that the denial often covers up a deep-down realization that it really IS you at fault. But if you have enough scapegoats and excuses maybe you can drown it out or ignore it or somehow make it not so.

This guy's a mess. Inside he'll be messed up for a long time, worse than ever now. I expect to see something in Latest Breaking News one of these days, detailing some new fuck-up of his, some new fight he was in or arrest or the cops called to his house or some such thing (THAT will be someone else's fault too - just watch).

I heard he was even going to get his gun back. Oh boy! Sounds like the last of the ingredients is set out on the kitchen counter again. Now we just wait til he turns on the stove.
