Colorado Senate President John Morse thanked and urged fellow lawmakers to continue fighting Tuesday as voters ousted him from office for his support for stricter Colorado gun laws. "It has been an honor to represent the 11th Senate District," said Morse, who is the first Colorado lawmaker to be recalled and thrown out of office. "It's been hugely rewarding." With about 86 percent of returns counted in the historic recall election of Democratic Senate President John Morse show 52 percent have voted "yes" and 48 percent "no." Morse called the legislative session where he and Democratic colleagues passed stricter new gun laws a successful one.The second State Senator is trailing as of this writing, although the results are not final yet (update -- now final - recall succeeded): https://twitter.com/denverpost/status/377652263944474624 Someone we all know and love, and who is from Colorado Springs, is happy: https://twitter.com/michellemalkin/status/377635323754188800 https://twitter.com/michellemalkin/status/377633786382401536 https://twitter.com/michellemalkin/status/377640498699055104 The Democrats lost because of a grassroots effort.

Other than that, the video doesn't show any sort of confrontation, although throughout it people, including what appears to be Shellie holding the iPad, follow him around in a somewhat aggressive posture, getting between him and the car he was filming.

---------------------------------
Lake Mary, Florida, police are holding a press conference as to video just released of the altercation between George and Shellie Zimmerman.
Prior post: iPad video important to Zimmerman dispute as police continue to investigate.
Police dash cam video (full embed at bottom of post) shows Zimmerman being placed into custody. It is not known if the police will have news about iPad video which may show the confrontation.
UPDATE: The Police have not yet decided whether to charge anyone. The witnesses in the house did not clearly see the confrontation and are unclear as to what happened. The video on the iPad has not yet been recovered, but the police expect that it will be, and at that point they will make a decision. The police did not search the car because all witnesses, including Shellie and her father, told police that they did not actually see a gun, and the police did not believe they had probable cause to search the car.

George Zimmerman, the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer acquitted of murder in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, is under investigation this afternoon after his wife told police that he'd threatened her family, police confirmed. Police are investigating a "possible domestic battery" involving Zimmerman on Sprucewood Road, Lake Mary police Officer Zach Hudson said this afternoon. About 3:40 p.m., Hudson said that Zimmerman was no longer detained and was not in custody. The police spokesman said Zimmerman has been cooperating with police. According to Lake Mary police Chief Steve Bracknell, Zimmerman's wife Shellie Zimmerman called police and said that her husband had made threats to her family "with his hand on his gun." She also alleged that George Zimmerman had battered her father, David Dean, Bracknell said. The police chief said about 3:30 p.m. Shellie Zimmerman and her father were consulting with their attorney to decide whether to give a sworn statement or press charges. Hudson said the investigation is in its early stages, and it was unclear whether Zimmerman or anyone would be arrested. No significant injuries were suffered in the incident, Hudson said.https://twitter.com/JeffWeinerOS/status/377189349294485504 https://twitter.com/JeffWeinerOS/status/377166238851411968 https://twitter.com/MyFoxOrlando/status/377155633776054272
How convenient. How abusive of the memory of those who fell, a clear ploy to gain political advantage from the significance of that date.
