George Zimmerman assault case dropped; ex-girlfriend recants - chairman - 01-30-2015
ORLANDO, Florida (AP) — An aggravated assault case against George Zimmerman that was opened when his ex-girlfriend said he threw a wine bottle at her has been dropped because she recanted her story and stopped cooperating with investigators, a prosecutor said Friday.
State Attorney Phil Archer said he wouldn't file a formal charge against Zimmerman, the former neighbourhood watch leader who was acquitted of killing Trayvon Martin. The killing of the unarmed black teen touched off protests across the country.
The ex-girlfriend had made it clear she didn't want to cooperate with Lake Mary Police officers, and there were no other eyewitnesses to what happened earlier this month, Archer said.
"While it is clear that the officers had probable cause to arrest Mr. Zimmerman ... the subsequent recantation by the victim of her initial statement ... precludes my office from proceeding further," Archer said in a statement.

Luck is quickly dwelling. Only a matter of time. Having eluded successful prosecution only emboldens him to continue to do outrageous things.

I wouldn't call it luck.
It's just that most people will protect wrongdoers, and that's a fact of life all over the globe.

It's not about waiting.
It's about protecting.
Most people protect wrongdoers. And they don't even pay attention to that. People don't stop to notice how quick they are to erase right doers and protect wrong doers. They pay no kind of attention to how their mind and emotions work. It's not luck, but simply the way the majority of the population's mind is set.

Most police districts would have hauled Zimmerman in after his girlfriend called the police. They would have arrived at his door, and then they would have arrested him.
Once more he is given special treatment!
He has been pulled over because he waved a gun at another driver while going down the road.
The police have been to his house before due to a domestic violence call with another girlfriend.
How many more passes will the police give him before he kills a white person?

Well when it comes to domestic disputes, that's a whole different ballgame.
The law doesn't cover domestic violence like it used to because the victim typically goes back to their abuser.
