i think it seems pretty clear to most of us watching that george zimmerman's worst enemy is george zimmermanin case after case, he's been the teflon defendant. no charges stick. i suspect this is the first step of some legal maneuvering on his attorney's part that's going to end up with the case being dismissed against him for domestic violence. we all know this is not the end of the story for george zimmerman. there's just too many people accusing him of too much irresponsibility especially with guns. >> lisa bloom and faith jenkins, thank you for your time tonight. >> thanks, al. >>> still ahead, news tonight about the officer who fired at a minivan full of kids. >>> also, president obama's powerful and personal speech today at nelson mandela's memorial. stay with us. people join angie's list for all kinds of reasons. i go to angie's list to gauge whether or not the projects will be done in a timely fashion and within budget. angie's list members can tell you which provider is the best in town. you'll find reviews on everything from home repair to healthcare. now that we're expecting, i li

we've seen it with george zimmerman.rd time we've seen a recanting after accusations were made. >> right. and i always say where there's smoke, there's fire. there's something going on with george zimmerman. it started before trayvon martin but look at the pattern of behavior we witnessed under the eyes of the law, is it illegal to have the guns? no. is it problematic? yes. there have been too many instances where george zimmerman has been accused of pulling his gun on people when he gets upset. we all know what happened with the trayvon martin case. so i see this as very problematic. i don't think it's the last time we'll be hearing about george zimmerman. >> all right. go ahead. >> i was just going to say, you know, if you ever want to try and guess and figure out what people are going to do in the future, you can just look at their past behavior. and the fact that this is how zimmerman resolves his conflicts is with a loaded weapon, even amongst the people he supposedly cares about, this is a real problem and we have

after his girlfriend left a frantic 911 call claiming zimmerman had pointed a gun at her, which zimmerman yesterday we reported she changed her story. in her sworn affidavit saying zimmerman, quote, never pointed a gun at or toward my face in a threatening manner, also saying, quote, i want to be with george, and quote, i do not want george zimmerman charged. and tonight, after reviewing the affidavit, the state attorney said conflicting statements and lack of evidence or witnesses were the reasons for dropping the case. zimmerman's attorney just spoke to nbc legal analyst lisa bloom. she asked why george barricade himself inside the house. >> well, he did it before they arrived. he did it because he wanted to separate himself from samantha, as he said on the 911 tape. and he locked himself in the house so that he would be separated and there would be no misunderstanding as to where everybody was. >> no charges, the big news. we'll be right back. humans. even when we cross our t's and dot our i's, we still run into problems. namely, other humans. which is why, at liberty mutual insurance,

the verdict in zimmerman i think it was clear this year and i think it will be clear in years to come a pivotal moment in this conversation about race, a moment where the trial in and of itself, people started to have their own conversations they hadn't been having but nationally we tried to start, i don't think we got there, a conversation about race. >> absolutely. if george zimmerman had been arrested for the alleged assault of his girlfriend before the trial was up i think we also would have seen a different verdict or hung jury or mistrial. so many aspects of the zimmerman case were played out in the court of public opinion differently than in the court of law. some jurors admitted they regret their own decision in the ruling which i think is tragic for whatever reason whether they felt pressured or they just wanted to go home you have to speak your mind on a jury. the reality is that teenaged boys, black boys in america hit a point some of them 11 years old, some 14 years old where they go from being cute boys to being threatening almost men in the minds of a lot of americans. t
