In news that’s certain to cause a stir on Twitter, prosecutors have decided not to prosecute George Zimmerman for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend earlier this month.
Zimmerman was arrested on January 9 on charges of aggravated assault after his girlfriend accused him of throwing a bottle at her during an argument. According to reports, she has recanted her earlier testimony:

And now for the outrage:
George Zimmerman could kill a small child and get away with it. Unless, of course, the child was black and wore a hoodie.

George Zimmerman's ex-girlfriend demonstrates classic signs of abuse. And he, of course, classic signs of an abuser. Oh, and a murderer.

Thanks a lot to the 3rd girl to drop her assault charges against George Zimmerman. Feel like he's never going to get his karma #DumbBitches

Transcending white privilege RT @milesfan79: George Zimmerman really is above the law at this point.

Well, I guess we will just have to wait until George Zimmerman kills one of his girlfriends to get him out of society.
