George Zimmerman in Trouble with the Law Again

Image from source, Think Progress

For the third time since he was acquitted of the murder of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman has had a run-in with the cops. Unlike the previous two, this one didn't have anything to do with speeding, but like one of them, it had something to do with a gun. All of this activity, together with his very sketchy story about "rescuing" people from a car crash, adds up to a very odd post-acquittal set of activities.

Nevada Number 1 in Domestic Violence Murders

Quite a lot was made of the "sanctity of marriage" in Nevada back in 2000 and 2002. Those were the years that Question 2--the constitutional amendment to bar same-sex marriage--went on the ballot, ultimately to pass. It was quite ludicrous to use that "sanctity" argument in a state with quickie marriages, quickier divorces, Elvis officiators, drive-thru chapels and spouses won on game shows. And now further shredding the sanctity: Nevada is number one in domestic violence murders. Wow.
