Originally, I felt sympathy, now I'm beginning to wonder if he really has anger issues, OR if he's stressed from his past ordeal along with being stalked by media?
In any case, he's not doing himself any good by continuing with police confrontations & poor behavior.
What's your take?....

My take is that he killed Trayvon and when he got away with it he got bolder. He has had so many run ins with the law (vehicular and assault) these past 2 months he thinks he is way above the law. To me it proves his guilt and his demented motivation. He is a big egotistical bully who hides behind "self defense" arguments. They need to do something before he kills another person.
Just my point of view.

My take....???
This would not even be news if it were not for the Trayvon Martin case....
As to his bad behavior..... beyond being stupid and self destructive..... it proves nothing about the Trayvon tragedy.... the FACTS pretty much prove the juries decision..... DO NOT support GZ being a racist....or that the tragedy was anything other than self defense
Is he a nice person.... ??? He obviously has some anger issues and major trouble relating to women...... probably should get professional help..... Were they cause by or predate his Trayvon confrontation..... or his broken marriage????? and sorry to say....do not care

I think your take on it is about right.
The evidence clearly showed him not guilty of murder, and the news media clearly misrepresented the case for at least 16 months.
I don't know whether GZ has anger problems; and even if he does, that did not seem to have been a factor in the shooting case. We have him on the police phone line during most of the interaction with Trayvon, and we can see his mood. He was angry, but did not want a physical confrontation, and avoided provoking Trayvon when Trayvon was standing outside his car.
Most of Zimmerman's contacts with police since since his acquittal have not even been newsworthy: helping a family out of an overturned vehicle, a speeding warning, a speeding ticket, a warning about tinted car windows. Not the kind of thing that makes you famous, or infamous either.
Of course, being not guilty of murder does not automatically make you a wonderful person.
But I can only say that being assaulted and nearly killed, being forced to kill to save his own life, being tried for murder when the evidence clearly showed otherwise, having his life threatened and the lives of his wife, parents, and ailing grandmother threatened, all forced out of their homes, with very limited communications with them due to safety constraints, this all has to be pretty traumatic. It is disheartening but not surprising that he is off balance.
I don't think he feels invincible. If anything, he feels most of the world is unfairly against him, which has some truth in it. But you can't change the world directly; you can only change yourself.

The Media still continues to hound him, chances are they hired that female that called 9/11 to do just that. The media lost to much face trying to dictate a conviction with the trial not to try to get a convection on him one way are the other
