    Funny that she assumes he has his gun. Crazy thing to assume. But turns out she's right.

    The police released an image of the iPad involved in the incident. Easy to see why it set Zimmerman off:

    Seems like O'Mara made those statements because he was told Zimmerman was armed, not because he had personal knowledge.

    It's now clear that Zimmerman was not armed:

    Hmmmm...imagine that...the media (and some posters here) jumped the proverbial gun to trash George Zimmerman. Couldn't see that coming a mile away.

    During the canonization process for George Zimmerman, this incident will probably become known as "The Miracle of the Disappearing Gun."

    St. Georgie...I like it as long as "Georgie" is said like the cleaning woman George had sex with on his desk in Seinfeld.

    Wait, because he apparently did not have a gun, his behavior was OK to you?

    Better hide your hoody, your ipad, your skittles, your women and your black men around him.

    Or don't place him on a higher pedestal.

    He has serious problems. Just because he did not reach for his gun this time does not absolve him of doubt in other circumstances.

    No one is putting him on a pedestal, and I have a feeling he didn't reach for his gun this time because he didn't get attacked and feel like his life was in danger. Just a hunch.
