Is George Zimmerman a Sociopath?

What Lynch mobs, drama queen.. Protestors are NOT a lynchmob.

 

Protesters, a less offensive name for a lynch mob.

 

So true.

So, ever been to a Tea Party lynch mob?

 

Lynch mobs LYNCH people.. The don't protest for an investigation and arrest.

 

Lynch mobs protest for a conviction before a trial.

 

Everything you're saying here is wrong. Have a nice day!

 

I always just assumed that Zimmerman was a guy who made a bad call. I haven't bothered to pay too much attention to the case since it blew up. I've mostly found myself arguing against the people that think that Zimmerman has been unfairly persecuted for killing a teenager, and arguing a lot with the people that think that killing black teenagers in particular is perfectly understandable. My only real problem with the case was that the cops first on the scene didn't take him into custody, given that the fact that he killed a teenager has never been called into question.

I don't care if he's a racist or even a sociopath. I care that he killed a kid and the cops said, "Oh, well, that's okay." I guess my problem is more with the cops than with Zimmerman himself. I just feel bad for Zimmerman. That's gotta suck.

 

Agreed.

 

Absolutely. Amen.

Comic book readers unite!

 

Don't you have to lynch somebody in order to qualify as a lynch mob?

 

Sanford police chief fired after criticism for releasing Zimmerman without charge

 

Here's another story from a wife with a suspected OCPD husband:

He has trouble with people: hates people who double park in front of the grocery store, hates people who throw their cigs out the window of a car, hates people who have big trucks, hates baby boomer generation, hates teenagers because they're stupid, blah, blah, blah...I could go on, but I'm sure you all get the picture.

He has had altercations with landscapers at our country club because he thinks they don't respect members. He's real big on respect: respect his space, his right to peace and quiet, etc and he gets enraged and has panic attacks to some degree if people don't act accordingly within his parameters of what is right. He hates liberals, gays, blacks, etc. He blathers on about how women have stripped men in America of their manhood and how he's the poor white man in America who gets no respect.

He says he's tired of working hard for immigrants and those on welfare to benefit from his contribution to their system, etc.
So, here's what MotherJones reporter Adam Weinstein gleaned from the 47 page police report logs of incoming calls by Zimmerman:

Most of the calls seem to cover mundanities: Zimmerman reported a male driving with no headlights; a yellow speedbike popping wheelies on I-4; an aggressive white-and-brown pitbull; an Orange County municipal pickup cutting people off on the road; loud parties; open garage doors; and the antics of an ex-roommate, Josh, that he'd thrown out of their apartment.

On September 9, 2009, he called to report another pothole, this one on Greenwood road, advising the dispatcher that "it is deep and can cause damage to vehicles."

He especially had concerns about kids in the neighborhood. On June 16, 2009, shortly after school had let out for the summer, he called to complain about six to eight youths playing basketball near his development's clubhouse, "jumping over the fence going into pool area and trashing the bathroom," according to the dispatcher's notes.

This past January, he called to report five or six children, ages 4 to 11, playing in the neighborhood. The kids, he told a dispatcher, "play in the street and like to run out [in front of] cars."

But when there weren't kids or garbage to report, he'd spend his evenings looking for would-be burglars.

At 2:38 a.m. on Nov. 4, 2006, he called about a late-model Red Toyota pickup "driving real slow looking at all the [vehicles] in the complex and blasting music from his [vehicle]." It's not clear if Zimmerman feared the driver was a car thief, though car thieves tend not to blast music through the neighborhood while practicing their craft.

But even more than cars, he was concerned about black men on foot in the neighborhood.

In August 2011, he called to report a black male in a tank top and shorts acting suspicious near the development's back entrance. "[Complainant] believes [subject] is involved in recent S-21s"—break-ins—"in the neighborhood," the call log states. The suspect, Zimmerman told the dispatcher, fit a recent description given out by law enforcement officers.

Three days later, he called to report two black teens in the same area, for the same reason. "[Juveniles] are the subjs who have been [burglarizing] in this area," he told the dispatcher.

And last month, on Feb. 2, Zimmerman called to report a suspicious black man in a leather jacket near one of the development's units. The resident of that townhouse, Zimmerman told dispatch, was a white male. Police stopped by to investigate, but no one was there, and the residence was secure.

 

Thanks for the update!

 

I don't particularly like where this is going because:

1. I have problems with people who throw their cigarette butts out (and litter, and wrappers, and gum)
2. I think people who double park in front of the grocery store suck
3. I think teenagers are rude and SMART phones deprive them of sense
4. I can stand big trucks that I can't see around
5. I don't like the people who talk on the phone loudly in line at the coffee shop
6. I don't like people who will walk up to a counter, pay for stuff. Put more stuff on the counter, then pay for that stuff. Then put more stuff on the counter, then pay for that stuff.
7. I don't like solicitors
8. I don't like people who let their friends cut in line at the movies

You can see where I'm going with this. I don't like these speculation articles because they're...just like someone's opinion, man.

I say look at the actual facts of the case and avoid looking for stuff like this because it casts a wide net that a lot of people fall into.

 

Certainly and those are pet peeves of mine as well.

Borderline Personality Disorder seems to fit him, but...even saying this seems silly to me because only a psychologist performing a diagnostic eval can make a call like this. The rest of us are guessing and that does a disservice to the practice of psychology (that its so easy anyone can do it) and is most likely wrong.

Like I look at Lindsay Lohan and say: OH, bipolar disorder with narcissistic personality disorder (because we see clients who go through evals), but I'm kinda talking about my ass with that, too.

 

Some very close to me had OCD...

 

Armchair psychologists...priceless.

 

Someone very close to me, too. He had OCDPD and a huge self-medicating problem. Pretty much advanced to the point where his life was destroyed by it.

 

The one who was close to me was clean and sober for 21 years.

 

Nice to know that is possible. I'd like to see that for him.

 

Its possible.. seems to me they have to go to AA all the time.

 

I would go into greater detail, but it is smarmy on my party to do so. Suffice it to say "AA" would not be appropriate for his issue. So...I pray.

 

We cannot properly make that assessment because a sociopathic personality is very difficult for even professionals to identify and diagnose. I rather think Zimmerman is more in line with hyped up gun nuts and those with too much time on his hands than one with a severe mental disorder.

 

Well, before he went to warp speed on seeing burglars every where he was fired for calling HR constantly to report other employees and to instruct them how the company should be run.
