George Zimmerman: The cockroach that won’t go away …

Like an annoying cockroach, or possibly a bad fungus, George Zimmerman is hard to shake.

He is a horrible human being, but you knew that.

I am taking my chances here, since Georgie Boy does not take kindly to criticism, and has the court records to prove it.

In his latest contentious dustup, Zimmerman has been charged with stalking a private investigator. The man was working with an executive producer about a documentary series on Trayvon Martin. It was a collaborative effort with rapper Jay Z, according to court records.

Zimmerman quickly went off the rails, sending the producer, Michael Gasparro, threatening messages, according to the arrest warrant.

[The private investigator] is a [expletive] WHO BOTHERED MY UNCLE IN HIS HOME. Local OR former law officer Hes well on his way to the inside of a gator as well. 10-4? Zimmerman wrote to Gasparro, using the police code to ask if he understood or acknowledged the message.

It didnt stop there. Between Dec. 16, 2017, and Christmas Day, the private investigator told deputies he got 55 phone calls, 67 text messages, 36 voicemails and 27 emails from Zimmerman, records show.

Zimmerman has been charged with misdemeanor stalking. Im assuming the alleged gator/accomplice is still on the lam.

Whatever.

All I know is that I am sick of Zimmerman, and his stale act of not getting along well with others. It escalated into tragedy on February 26, 2012, when Martin, a black teen-ager, died following a confrontation with Zimmerman. A jury found Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder in the summer of 2013.

Zimmerman should have cashed in his chips that day after winning the legal lottery. By legal standards, the jury got it right based on the evidence that was presented. By moral standards, many of us convicted Zimmerman of being a deplorable human being, at the very least.

Still, most reasonable people have tried to move on past the anger, despair and confrontational name-calling when evoking Zimmermans name. Unfortunately, George Zimmerman is not one of them.

Hes amassed quite the legal and confrontational resume, which includes a charge of felony aggravated assault after allegedly pointing a shotgun at his girlfriend, to challenging a rapper to fight in a Celebrity Boxing match.

If Georgie Boy had any sense, he would deal with his anger management issues by laying low. Its done wonders for Casey Anthony, who joins him as one of the most dubious members of Orlandos Hall of Shame. She also wiggled free after standing trial in 2011 for the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. But at least Anthony had the good sense to jettison herself into a self-imposed Witness Protection Program.

We havent heard much from her, have we? The Tot Mom pops up in an occasional paparazzi snapshot, including a TMZ.com sighting at an Irish pub in West Palm Beach last month. She was wearing a baseball cap, and chatted up a few drunk guys. No one was harmed in the short video clip.

Thats the ticket.

Incognito. Lay low. Out of sight, out of mind.

Not Georgie Boy.

Like that pesky cockroach, Zimmerman is always a step ahead of the big sandal bearing down on him. Annoying little fella, isnt he?

Eventually, if Zimmerman continues with his propensity for confrontation, I suspect the sandal is going to catch up to him.

I also suspect not too many people will care.
