You all know by now:
George Zimmerman, 30, has been jailed in Seminole County, Florida.
Mr Zimmerman was charged with felony aggravated assault, battery, domestic violence and criminal mischief, a sheriff's office spokesman said.
In July, a jury cleared Mr Zimmerman of the February 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin, 17.
Since then, Mr Zimmerman has had other brushes with police, including an incident in October when he was briefly detained following a domestic disturbance at the home of his estranged wife, Shellie.
Now if I remember rightly (which I do) there's a few posters who spent a lot of time defending Zimmerman's character earlier this year. I dunno if the phrase "American hero" was actually used but they were getting there.
So one question: how can we square the fact that Zimmerman was just a law abiding citizen trying to uphold the law in his neighbourhood with this massive list of crimes?
