As we speculated on Monday comes quite a bit of validation about our thoughts on one George Zimmerman. Namely his altercation with his estranged wife Shellie. George had a gun at scene. This contradicts reports both from George Zimmerman and an accommodating media. If he did not, as reported from ThinkProgress, either he or his then-lawyer Mark O’Mara is lying BIG TIME:
Both the Lake Mary Florida Police Chief, Steve Bracknell, and the department’s spokesman Zach Hudson confirmed to ThinkProgress that George Zimmerman told officers at the scene that he did not have a gun on him during the incident. This directly contradicts what ZImmerman’s lawyer, Mark O’Mara, told CNN:
O’MARA: He acted appropriately. He never took the weapon out. The only thing he really did, which is what he told the police, was on the outside of his shirt, he made sure the gun wasn’t moving anywhere and didn’t do anything because [Zimmerman's father-in-law] Mr. Dean was sort of coming at him, that can sort of be seen in the video.
COOPER: So he had the gun actually on his person not like, in the glove box of his car?
O’MARA: That’s correct.
