Zimmerman's Recurring Violence

It's probably only a matter of time before Trayvon Martin's killer, George Zimmerman, injures or kills someone else, possibly a girlfriend / domestic partner, if not another kid in a hoodie.  When he was arrested again on Monday, this time for felony domestic violence, his most recent record of arrests adds to the belief that Zimmerman's feeling empowered by his acquittal and believes he can get away with anything.  Fortunately the Seminole County judge ordered Zimmerman to wear a GPS device, stay away from his girlfriend, and be denied access to firearms.

Think Progress has this interesting analysis of Zimmerman's abusive pathology, how to spot a domestic abuser, and how they often get away with it.  Let's hope that either 1) Zimmerman gets the psychiatric help he obviously needs, or 2) is put away in prison for a long time, so that there won't be a next victim.
