One expert claims that Zimmerman’s real motivations may have been repressed anger, power, control, and a desire for significance, meaning and recognition.

Los Angeles based Human Behavior Expert, Patrick Wanis PhD says “When Zimmerman chose to pursue Trayvon Martin against the directive of the 911 dispatcher, he became the aggressor and the hunter. And his real motivations may have been anger, ego and a desire for power. Zimmerman who was a victim of a criminal assault himself when he was 17, was charged at age 20 with resisting a police officer and he had to undergo an alcohol education program. His ex-fiancee was also granted a civil restraining order against him for alleged domestic violence. These are examples of anger-driven behavior.”

“When a person believes that he or she lacks significance, feeling powerless or invisible, he turns to extreme measures to be noticed, to feel powerful and meaningful and to standout”, says Dr. Wanis. “Zimmerman clearly sought power and justice beyond being a volunteer community watch commander; he wanted to become a law enforcement officer – he had taken a 14-week class at the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office. But his choice to chase Martin reflects ego, anger and possibly the corruption of power and responsibility he had been given. Did Zimmerman believe he had total dominion over his gated neighborhood? Did he believe that he could enforce the law, judge people or pursue them based on his own judgment, thus ignoring his only role as neighborhood watch volunteer commander – to report suspicious behavior and not to take power into his own hands?”

“With Whitney’s addictive personality, along with her poor eating habits, a toxic 15-year marriage to ex-husband Bobby Brown, the 2003 death of her father, stalled career and rocky relationship with teenage daughter Bobbi Kristina, the odds are stacked against her”, Dr. Wanis ominously warned in March 2010.

While the world awaits the exact causes of her death, Dr. Wanis who also works with addicts says “Whitney had a history of crack cocaine and booze binges which damage the liver and cardiovascular system, thus setting her up for a potential heart attack or stroke. Whitney said in 2002 that ‘the devil is me’ and every addict struggles with the demons within – just like Amy Winehouse did. And In the same way that the devil is the personification of evil and the enemy of God and humankind, so too is addiction an enemy of humankind stealing so much talent and destroying so many precious lives.”

Sources say that Plum TV founder and exec Tom Scott will be in Miami Beach today to address the future of the magazine. We hear that the staff expect to get the boot and are already looking for new jobs as far away as Los Angeles.

A bitter disappointment for all who work at Plum but especially for those who left positions as Ocean Drive magazine to join Plum Miami earlier this year.

The StyleWise article comparing the three luxury magazines in Miami published several months ago predicted that this market could not sustain three similar magazines competing for the same advertising dollars and now it appears at least one may fold. Time will tell.
