Florida authorities say George Zimmerman, whose acquittal of murdering an unarmed black teen sparked a national debate on race and self-defense laws, has been arrested for allegedly throwing a wine bottle at his girlfriend.

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office says the 31-year-old Zimmerman was arrested for aggravated assault at his home in Lake Mary about 10 p.m. Friday.

Zimmerman was released on a $5,000 bond Saturday afternoon. At a court appearance earlier Saturday, he was ordered to avoid contact with the woman, who was not identified.

Judge John Galluzzo gave few details of the incident, but said a wine bottle was involved and that the alleged assault happened at Zimmerman's home. Prosecutors questioned whether substance abuse treatment was needed, but the judge said that didn't seem to be a factor.

After the brief hearing, Zimmerman's attorney, Don West, told the Orlando Sentinel (http://tinyurl.com/me467wh" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) his client was arrested after allegedly throwing a wine bottle 'in the direction of' his girlfriend several days ago.

Since his acquittal, Zimmerman has had several brushes with the law:

— He was arrested on charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief after his then-girlfriend said he pointed a gun at her face during an argument, smashed her coffee table and pushed her out of the house they shared. Samantha Scheibe decided not to cooperate with detectives and prosecutors didn't pursue the case.

— Zimmerman was accused by his estranged wife of smashing an iPad during an argument at the home they had shared. Shellie Zimmerman initially told a dispatcher her husband had a gun, though she later said he was unarmed. No charges were ever filed because of a lack of evidence. The dispute occurred days after Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers.

— Zimmerman has also been pulled over three times for traffic violations since his acquittal.

Threw a wine bottle at his girlfriend?

Is there no end to this street violence?

Speeding now throwing a wine bottle, oh my God how can an animal like that be allowed to walk the earth? If he's not locked up, what next, smoking in a no smoking zone? Of course if he was black he would be considered a model citizen, but he's not he's a WHITE Hispanic. :shock:

RealTool and johnforbes making jokes about domestic violence.
And laughing off serial violence and speeding.

Who's not surprised? Me and everyone else.

They reflect the typical mindset of reactionaries; keep women in their place, laugh off violence and lawlessness unless the perpetrator is black or Arab. You know, the really bad violent people.
Us light-skinned folks are just havin' a wild time to blow off steam when we do it....over and over and over again.

If the bottle had connected with her skull, they would be looking the other way right now.
If some school kid had been hit by the speeding car, they would be looking skyward and whistling with their hands stuffed in their pockets.
I bet they think drunk driving is just fine too, as long as you're only a little drunk. After all, that's what gentle white folk do.
But pot smokers? They're drug adicts who need to be locked up.

Hypocrites, as always.

But that's the rhetorical equivalent of sheer nonsense.

If you jump off one step, it is fine.

If you jump off the roof, you won't be fine.

Assuming things which didn't transpire obviously shifts a scenario.

Clownsicker is one confused leftist.

So what are elk and clown really bitching about? I don't see where Zimmerman has gotten away with anything. In each incident he has come before a judge.

He didn't touch her, even she said that, the "allegation" is that he threw a wine bottle in her "general" direction. :lol:

If he was black he would given her a good beat down and liberals would justify the actions as pent up frustrations brought on by injustices to blacks.
