George Zimmerman at 'safe house' protected by his security team [View all]

ORLANDO, Fla. — The neighborhood watch leader charged with fatally shooting Trayvon Martin is in a safe house that is being protected by his security team.

George Zimmerman was released Friday after posting bail for the second time on a second-degree murder charge. His attorney said Sunday he was in Seminole County in central Florida.

Some of Martin's supporters have been angry Zimmerman was not arrested until 46 days after the February shooting, and Zimmerman has received death threats.

He was released from jail after his defense fund helped him post 10 percent of the $1 million bond.

He can't buy or even posess a firearm slackmaster Jul 2012 #22

Zimmerman is a liar, thug, and murderer. Initech Jul 2012 #2

That is so dumb in so many ways permatex Jul 2012 #3

Yes, he took his gun. That would be enough for me if on jury. Hoyt Jul 2012 #4

More of your usual nonsense. permatex Jul 2012 #5

No. But I do believe those who donated to the murderer are immoral, Hoyt Jul 2012 #7

I hope you Meiko Jul 2012 #18

At least I don't walk out the door with a gun prepared to play judge, jury, Jesus, and executioner Hoyt Jul 2012 #21

Oh C'mon Hoyt Meiko Jul 2012 #27

Do you carry a gun into public? In unlikely event you encounter situation, how much of a "trial" Hoyt Jul 2012 #30

The fact that you know Meiko Jul 2012 #32

And, I'm sure Zimmerman would have said same thing day before killing Hoyt Jul 2012 #33

That would be sufficient and very good reason to boot you off the jury panel, Hoyt slackmaster Jul 2012 #23

"Prejudice" is defending Zimmerman just because he's a gun toter who believes SYG gets you off from Hoyt Jul 2012 #25

This isn't going to be an SYG case. The defense MAY make a pre-trial motion to dismiss... slackmaster Jul 2012 #26

Who is defending Zimmerman Meiko Jul 2012 #28

Another way to look at it is to allow initech some hyperbole because truth2power Jul 2012 #6

As am I permatex Jul 2012 #8

Yeah that's a good way of putting it. Initech Jul 2012 #11

But he did intend to kill Trayvon, therefore a charge of 2nd degree murder is JDPriestly Jul 2012 #13

You forgot coward. Skidmore Jul 2012 #14

C'mon Meiko Jul 2012 #17

Well of course he needs security, he's a millionaire now! Curtland1015 Jul 2012 #10

"His security team?" HIS security team? Number23 Jul 2012 #15

Probably a bunch of loony volunteers lined up to protect this assh*le free of of charge. Curtland1015 Jul 2012 #16

I would bet that the bail bond company provided the "security team" free of charge slackmaster Jul 2012 #24

Maybe DOG Meiko Jul 2012 #31

One look at that wife of his and anybody would run like Hell slackmaster Jul 2012 #34

So much wrong with so much here madokie Jul 2012 #20

How so? Meiko Jul 2012 #29

Yeah, but who's going to protect the public against Zimmerman? MoonRiver Jul 2012 #35
