George Zimmerman arrested for public nudity, screaming the N word and wielding a knife


Simmer down Zimmerman! - George Zimmerman arrested yet again

Florida neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, who was acquitted in July of 2013 of all charges related to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, was arrested Wednesday morning in Tampa Florida, for apparently going on a drug induced rampage through the central business district of the city.

At 6:39 am, local time, 911 calls were made from central Tampa, stating that “George Zimmerman was “naked”, ranting about “N-words” and wielding a kitchen knife. Police swiftly arrived at the scene and found an obviously inebriated, fully bare Zimmerman standing in the middle of the a busy main street, shouting obscenities at black people, following cars and waving a knife around. After some struggle, the police were able to overpower Zimmerman and place him under arrest, but one police officer injured his hand badly in the altercation.

Only preliminary reports have surfaced as to the what Zimmerman was doing in Tampa and why he did what he did, but we’ve managed to get a hold of officer Jacob Wennberg of the Tampa police force, and he was courteous enough to shed some light on what happened.

- Zimmerman was high off his mind on something like bath-salts and has still not returned to a sober state of mind. It is still unclear why he is visiting our city, but it appears he has a lot of friends here. Zimmerman is, with slurred speech, claiming that a “black thug” gave him a hit of something he thought was Marijuana, but which seemed to have been laced with a bath salt compound. We will launch a full investigation into this, but seeing as Zimmerman appears to have been unwillingly drugged, it is likely that he will be acquitted of all charges.

This is not the first time Zimmerman has been arrested since the Trayvon Martin case. In November 2013, he allegedly pointed a shotgun at his girlfriend and as recently as January 9th this year, he was arrested for aggravated assault on his girlfriend.

Not surprisingly, supporters of Trayvon Martin are not impressed with Zimmerman's drugged out antics, with many saying that Zimmerman probably knew he was taking bath salts and that this incident only proves that Zimmerman is racist and anti-black.
