Wait a fucking minute. There's a dead kid on the ground and Zimmerman's holding a smoking gun, and you are saying that isn't probable cause?
Seriously?
The prescription drugs George Zimmerman was taking when he killed Trayvon Martin - Miami healthy living | Examiner.com
according to the paramedic incident report, Trayvon Martin's shooter was on the prescription drug Temazepam which is known to cause insomnia and anxiety. Other side effects not mentioned in the MSNBC.com report are aggressiveness, hallucinations, and other serious symptoms. The U.S. National Library of Medicine cautions that, after taking Temazepam, patients should not be walking around trying to watch anything or anyone and that, if they do not sleep for at least 7-8 hours after taking the drug, they may experience memory loss.
Zimmerman was also on the commonly prescribed drug Adderall, which is known to cause worsening mental or mood problems (eg, aggression, anxiety, delusions, depression, hallucination, hostility), according to Drugs.com. Adderall is prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or narcolepsy. Both Temazepam and Adderall are medications that can cause problematic side effects including agitation and mood swings.
It was not probable cause to drug test Zimmerman. There was no reason to. Zimmerman readily admitted pulling the trigger. The evidence at the scene, that there had been a fight, that Zimmerman had injuries, there were the 911 calls reporting the fight. No reason to drug test or to even have a scintilla of suspicion that Zimmerman was not the shooter.
Sanitation workers in my city get drug tested every time the have a traffic offense. But of course murderers, such as Zimmerman, are special.
Testing whether someone is able to drive a car isn't the same thing as deliberately shooting someone and admitting that you did it immediately. That's the difference. Maybe you can't understand it. A traffic accident is an act of negligence. Murder is a deliberate act. There was no investigation to find out whether someone else killed martin either. If one of those santitation workers said "I saw my girlfriend with another guy and ran her over with the garbage truck" that worker wouldn't be drug tested ether.
