    Undoubtedly.

    He was on a couple of prescription drugs the night Trayvon Martin was killed:

    According to the report, prior to the shooting Zimmerman had been prescribed Adderall and Temazepam, medications that can cause side effects such as agitation and mood swings, but in fewer than 10 percent of patients.

    A lot of erraticism in the last few weeks, consistent with a problematic drug user.

    Can we get a title change to reflect what is known at this time?

    I cannot stand this guy or guns in general, but this is a guy involved in a divorce with his wife. She could have just as easily called the cops to use this report as a bargaining chip against his sorry as as he would have been stupid enough to threaten her with a gun .

    True. But she's making $4,300 per month right now from his defense fund, so I'm not sure she'd want to upset the apple cart right now.

    That's what The Narrative says. I'm sure it will turn out to be a Kindle.

    If it's a black iPad it probably had it coming.

    Dispatcher tells her to stay inside the house and let the police take care of it. For some nutty reason, that's what she did!

    Clearly at that point she should have bum-rushed him and taken him down.

    1. He probably shouldn't, because he has to be on alert at all times for some nutjob who may want to take a shot at hime.
    2. Very true
    3. Don't forget, he also saved someone's life.

    That's right! The person who doesn't want to be asked about it. He saved that person's life.
