Zimmerman's Domestic Violence Charge

by Ac Hampton

The man acquitted in the shooting and killing of Florida teen Treyvon Martin , George Zimmerman was arrested Monday afternoon outside of Orlando Florida for  domestic violence. His girlfriend Samantha Schiebe, whose house he was in, called the police on him and told them that he had pointed a gun to her head then barricaded himself inside her house.

“She was concerned for her safety, certainly from having the weapon pointed at her. She’s shaken up over this incident, like any of us would be.” according to The Guardian.com


The Seminole County Sheriff’s office later released recordings of two 911 calls made during the incident, which appear to be from Scheibe and Zimmerman.
In the first call a woman tells dispatchers: “I need police right now. He’s in my house breaking all my things because I asked him to leave. He has his frickin’ gun, breaking all of my stuff right now.”

Just even hearing that someone else is facing the same danger that Treyvon Martin faced is devastating and it makes me question our judicial system when it comes to letting criminal free. George Zimmerman was acquitted of the murder of Treyvon Martin meaning he can still carry guns.
On the other hand from inside the house, Zimmerman's story was “for lack of a better word, has gone crazy on me”

If George Zimmerman was just involved in a major case which left one dead by his firearm, why is he even able to have a gun? when will the law learn that they cannot give everyone the privilege to hold a firearm because everyone's emotions are not the same and most people with anger problems will first result to using their gun trying to resolve the problem.

Zimmerman’s volatile temperament stretches back to at least 2005, when he was ordered to attend anger management classes after allegedly attacking an undercover police officer according to Theguardian.com.

I just don't understand how someone with a record that stretches down to the floor can beat every case with little to no punishment. George Zimmerman needs to pay for his crimes just as well as everyone else and he may have gotten off the hook every time before but he need to receive a greater punishment for this crime.

Zimmerman back in Jail: Proposal

The man acquitted in the shooting and killing of Florida teen Treyvon Martin , George Zimmerman was arrested Monday afternoon for a domestic violence
Call from his girlfriend. She stated that he pulled a gun on her and had more guns in the house.

The Seminole County Sheriff said Zimmerman has been charged with aggravated assault, battery, and criminal mischief.

Why is it that only months after the trial of Treyvon Martin , Zimmerman is showing the same anger issues and has the same issue of pointing his firearm at people. Why is he still legally permitted to have guns? He is clearly showing signs of someone who hasn't changed or doesn't care about having a negative look in the eyes of the media.

Big Screen to the Battle Field


By: Ac Hampton


Most fictional movies are meant to keep us entertained and are meant to show us imaginative ideas can be made into an amazing movie.But what happens when the movies become real. The US government is developing "iron man like" suits for our military which will make our soldiers stronger and faster just like the character iron man. This is a new day in age of military and even if the idea comes from a movie our government must explore all options of making our soldiers the best on earth. What doors does this open up for the future? 

U.S. Special Forces Command, Adm. William McRaven want bullets to be able to bounce off the bodies of his soldiers as they fire back at the enemy. Although this sounds fictional he believes that he can make this happen just like the movie iron man.

The government calls it the Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit but everyone else on the project refers to it as the "Iron Man Suit" says CNN.

Innovative and strong leading ideas are always a good way to better the government in my opinion so I think that these suits will be a great addition to our military. They seem to provide the safety and strength that a solider will need on the battlefield. If bullets are bouncing off if the chest of our countries soldiers then the death toll in war will be one less thing our citizens will fear.

There are many ideas that are being added to the suit that already exist but they don't exist as a unit and this suit will bring all of those technologies together. When that project is completed, the perfect suit will be completed.

Bringing the movies to life may sometimes seem fictional but in this circumstance it is not and is something that may change the way an American solider is viewed. Using the movie Iron Man as a base for an ultimate suit for a soldier is an innovative and out of the box idea that I think our country needed.
