GotNews.com has an exclusive statement from George Zimmerman after he was suspended on Twitter earlier this week. An account run by Zimmerman featured a photograph of a woman “Heather”, her phone number, and a photograph of her appearing to be topless. While multiple news outlets said that Zimmerman had published a nude photo and was guilty of so-called unconstitutional ‘revenge porn’ laws, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

Though death threats against Zimmerman and family are routine Twitter’s decision to ban Zimmerman represents yet another example of double standards being applied against a user. Spike Lee published the address of an elderly couple that lived near Zimmerman and still had his Twitter account.

GotNews.com editor-in-chief Charles C. Johnson first met George Zimmerman in October and is committed to telling the story about the Real George Zimmerman, as opposed to the media caricature. Stay tuned for further developments on that score.

Heather and I started dating shortly after Matthew Apperson attempted to kill me. On May eleventh. She works for the tint company that replaced the tint on the replacement window that was shot out. The relationship was going well and she supported my decision to help Andy of Florida Gun Supply’s Muslim Free Gun Shop position. She was also supportive of my decision to go to Andy’s aid when a Muslim made threats towards him, booked a one-way ticket from CA to Tampa and signed up for Andy’s Concealed Weapons class. The rest of the details as to the outcome, I am not going to disclose. Heather, her son and I visited Andy the weekend that I was going to do a “Meet and Greet” for supporters that had purchased prints of the painting I painted for Andy to financially support his defense as he was being sued by CAIR [Council on American Islamic Relations]. I gave Heather a pistol that I had received from Andy, in the event I was attacked, incapacitated and she needed to defend herself and her son. After Heather, her son and I made a trip to her hometown in TN in September, her ex-husband and his family made many decisions to Heather and her son’s detriment. I made the decision to make his and his families actions public on Twitter in order to shame him into doing the right thing. It worked, partially. Her ex-husband returned her son’s property but still to this day, he has withheld child support and alimony. Heather was upset with the publicity that my tweets regarding her ex made and I made inappropriate statements to her. Heather decided to end our relationship at the end of September. Unbeknownst to me, Heather had called the local Sheriff’s office and met with a deputy, accusing me of sending her threatening text messages. As per the Sheriff Deputy’s report the messages were not threats and absolutely not actionable.

On my birthday — October 5th — Heather sent me a text message wishing me a Happy Birthday. Shortly after, we re-kindled our relationship. During the time we dated again during October and November Heather never told me that she had tried to have me arrested. In fact, she would often remind me that “all of my exes tried to have me arrested, sell their story for money or both”. She would make statements such as “You have no idea how lucky you are to have me, I would never do any of those things to you”. Heather told me during the time we were apart, she had been on dates with a man that she had dated before her and I met. I told her that did not bother me as we were not dating at the time.

After spending over 8 hours at Target on Black Friday, so that she could give her two sons the best Christmas presents possible (as she was financially restricted due to her ex-husband withholding of child support and alimony) with her and her son, Heather inexplicably had no communication with me the rest of that Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Monday she sent me a couple of texts with small talk but no mention of her mysteriously disappearing. Tuesday, she informed me that she had spent the Friday, Saturday and Sunday with the guy she dated prior to me. She told me that after the three days she spent with him she had decided that she wanted to re-kindle her relationship with him. I told her that I would accept whatever decision made her happy. I asked her to return my firearm as well as money I had loaned her to fly to KY so she could visit her other son that she had sent to live with his biological father, for his birthday this December. She said “no, those were gifts”, I told her that they were not and she shouldn’t rationalize theft and it was inappropriate to have my financial support and firearm if she was another man’s girlfriend. I asked her to return my property by the next morning. She told me she would not and that she had the support of her new boyfriend and to “not mess with him because he was former Iranian Special Forces.”

After seeing the tragedy in San Bernardino, CA , I realize after Heather’s mysterious disappearance where she could have become radicalized, the potential of a disastrous out come of her new boyfriend’s possession of my firearm he had coupled with it being given to me by “The Muslim Free Gun Shop”. The afternoon of the next day, after it was clear that she would not be returning my property or money I had loaned her, I made the decision to once again use Twitter in order to sever her relationship with her new Muslim boyfriend in the hope that his plans would be thwarted. I posted the revealing (yet not naked or pornographic) pictures as well as her personal identifying information because I believed that her new boyfriend would want nothing to do with her and loose interest in whatever he had planned to do to me, if he saw that Heather violated his religious beliefs and exposed her body to other men. Heather quickly responded to the tweeted messages acquiescing that she would return my property. I informed her that the return of my property was no longer my main concern. My goal at the time was to undue whatever she and her boyfriend were attempting to accomplish with my firearm.

Whether or not Heather’s new boyfriend and she still have their plans to harm me, or Florida Gun Supply is unknown to me; however, now the public knew that she was dating a Muslim in possession of my firearm. Seeing the fall out of the tweeted messages and the shame it brought to her family, I acknowledge that I should not have sent the messages and should have turned to my very competent legal council for alternatives to remedy the situation. I have never made any threats to Heather or her family nor will I ever.
