WARNING TO ALL U.S. CITIZENS OUTSIDE OF FLORIDA:

Read more: http://www.tmz.com/2013/12/14/george-zi

George Zimmerman is leaving the Sunshine State for good, TMZ has learned ... and he might be heading for your neck of the woods.

As we reported, George has had about enough of Florida, primarily because he feels like he's become a sitting duck for the media and law enforcement to prey on him.

We're told he would have moved a lot sooner, but the domestic violence incident with his GF last month -- the one with the shotgun -- kept him on lockdown within State lines ... literally. He had to get an ankle monitor.

But now that his GF has recanted her claims and the charges have been dropped, Zimmerman's a free man once again ... a free man who can legally pack heat again ... and he's planning to make the big move in the next couple weeks.

Texas because he probably feels as of it would be comfortable, Vegas because it's the West Coast version of Florida (and all the weirdos have some connection here it seems).

where he's headed, but one thing is for sure...

He can run, but he can never hide.

Not unless/until he can stop MAKING himself a target of law enforcement and the media.

Doesn't he realize that?

He's doing the equivalent of running around a zoo with raw meat hanging from his belt.

Hey, George...drop the goddamned meat and stop making yourself a target, fool!

Colorado Counties Want To Form 51st State To Avoid Environmental Protections

By Nicole Flatow on July 11, 2013

At least ten rural Colorado counties are taking aggressive steps to form a 51st state, saying their interests are not being met by moves to regulate the oil and gas industry, increase renewable energy, and better regulate guns. Organizers in Kansas and Nebraska are also interested in joining the state they call “North Colorado.”

Organizers met this week to draw up boundaries of the new state, as part of an ambitious schedule to draft a ballot initiative by August 1, and get a proposal before the voters in November. Congress must approve admission of a new state into the Union. But the U.S. Constitution also requires that secession of parts of any existing state be approved both by the voters and legislature of that state. This means Colorado would have to approve of the counties’ secession, as would Kansas and Nebraska if parts of those states wanted to join. One of the ten counties that initiated the movement, Weld County, is larger than Delaware and Rhode Island, according to a county commissioner.

One of the laws that movement representatives say “broke the camel’s back” requires rural energy cooperatives to get 20 percent of their energy from renewable sources by 2020. The current goal is ten percent. While Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) signed the bill into law, he also signed an executive order committing to make an independent assessment of whether the 20 percent requirement is feasible, and to revisit the legislation next session if need be. The organizers also cite several failed bills to regulate the oil and gas industry that would have increased fines for violations of state law, and imposed other measures to address the fast-increasing number of both wells and oil spills and contaminations in Colorado over the last several years.

Proponents of the movement say the legislature is not recognizing its “main economic drivers, agriculture and energy.” But these energy-heavy rural counties are also particularly vulnerable to environmental degradation, which is why some residents have voiced strong opposition to the movement. “I don’t want be in a 51st state,” Washington County resident Steve Frey told the local CBS affiliate. “I don’t want any part of their fracking that they’re doing in Weld County...”

I think the Koch brothers are behind this. They have been reported to have their own military forces in Colorado. Been reported on DU.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014572446#post16

With recalls of elected officials for gun control, the Koch family firmly embedded there, and a lot of NRA money, he'll be closer to his financial backers and cultural soul mates.

Most likely he'll bring his latest conquest and her son up there to join the group and make more little zimmies. It's another win-win for him.

As for those in Blue Colorado, you have my sympathy.

I'm sure that mercenary fundamentalist Christian and former navy seal Erik Prince, could find a place in his organization for another gun toting lunatic who will shoot and kill others at will. An added bonus, Zimmerman would have to relocate to ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, where Prince has relocated his family and "business." I believe that Zimmerman would be just another great ASSet to that company.

anywhere it's colder than Sanford Florida in the winter. He's just not made for that type of weather.

He can't drive in the snow or on ice, so he's left with Louisiana.

Once he pulls his gun out there, we may never hear from him again.
