The Murder of Trayvon Martin

[DrPhil]

Zimmerman's previous calls as Neighborhood Watch have been relatively shortly and quickly scrutinized; Trayvon Martin's previous run ins with the school and his hoodie have been scrutinized ad nauseam; and now Zimmerman's past with the po-po is being examined:

George Zimmerman is pictured in this booking photo taken in July 2005.


By msnbc.com staff
Court documents obtained by msnbc.com on Tuesday evening show that George Zimmerman, who fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, went to court in 2005 and 2006 for accusations of domestic violence, tussling with a police officer and speeding.

Oh snap! Billy Badass among us! Maybe Trayvon's hoodie-was-all-goodie!!

I have to laugh because WHOWOULDATHUNK the photo of Zimmerman in the orange polo was a booking photo from 2005. I thought it looked like a booking photo but I told myself "self, surely that would not be what it looks like because Zimmerman's prior run-ins with the law were never an issue...right?" This booking photo has been allllll over the media in the past few weeks (with exception for a nonbooking photo that is occasionally shown). Did anyone wonder why the hell it looks like a booking photo?

It could have just as easily been a driver's license photo, which is what I thought it was. I do question how he was able to get a concealed weapons permit with a prior arrest for domestic violence and an altercation with police.

That's a good point about the concealed weapons permit. I do not know how it works in Florida.

It does look like it could be a driver's license photo but would they be able to obtain his driver's license photo beyond asking Zimmerman for his driver's license? Serious question, I really don't know.
