If she knew that George Zimmerman is black, would her attitude change?

——The man said that Zimmerman threatened him when he said “Do you know who I am? I’ll [expletive] kill you.”-——

It’s a “he said” “ you said” case....

Somehow I don’t think Zimmerman said “I’ll kill you”

I’ll say a prayer for Zim. I cannot imagine what it would feel like to have most the population sicced on me like wild dogs, and to have my president or atty gen. sanction all the hateful fanfare against me and my family. I hope he lives long enough to find peace again.

What led the unidentified "victim" to decide against pressing charges?

Good question.

Can’t say about George Zimmerman, but it’s certain that Trayvon Martin won’t be killing anybody.

George Zimmerman’s problem is that he doesn’t understand the true qualities of his fellow citizens, and plan and act accordingly.

One of the main reasons I think this story is BS is because as. CC permit holder Zimmerman knows the quickest way to get your permit yanked is to threaten someone...

Zimmerman's black ancestry is Afro-Peruvian, not African-American (that is, descended from English-speaking slaves in the US) so it doesn't count.

Sooner or later someone may try to kill Zimmerman because of the attitude held by many (and fostered by the media) that he should have been found guilty. I think the only danger of him killing again is if he is again put in a kill-or-be-killed situation.

I don’t know if Zimmerman will ‘kill again’ but I do know without a shadow of a doubt that young black males will with reckless abandon.

Orlando Sentinel
Complainant: George Zimmerman threatened to shoot me

Rene Stutzman, Staff Writer

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/trayvon-martin-george-zimmerman/os-george-zimmerman-road-rage-threat-20140912-story.html#

A driver called Lake Mary police earlier this week, accusing former Neighborhood Watch volunteer George Zimmerman of threatening to shoot him during a road-rage incident.

Zimmerman, 30, was not arrested.

Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell said the man, 35-year-old Matthew Apperson of Winter Springs, did not want to press charges, so there would be no arrest.

Apperson told a 911 dispatcher Tuesday morning that he was driving his Honda Accord on Lake Mary Boulevard, made a U-turn and headed west-bound when a Honda Ridgeline truck pulled alongside and someone inside rolled down his window.

“George Zimmerman was the driver, and they were threatening to kick my ___ and to shoot me,” Apperson told the dispatcher.

Apperson said he pulled into a Circle K to find a phone so he could call for help when the Ridgeline made a maneuver to block him and “almost hit my car.”

Zimmerman “said he was going to shoot me dead,” Apperson told the dispatcher.

According to a police report, a store surveillance video showed that as Apperson was walking into the store, the Ridgeline left.

Apperson said he did not see any weapons in Zimmerman’s truck, but police discovered that Apperson was carrying a gun. He has a concealed weapons permit, according to the report.

Two days later, Apperson called Lake Mary police again to report that he believed Zimmerman had followed him and was watching his movements.

Police investigated, found Zimmerman in his Ridgeline nearby, pulled him over and questioned him. He told them he had a doctor’s appointment in a nearby building.

They took a handgun from him but returned it near the end of their eight-minute exchange, according to an officer’s body video camera and patrol car dash camera.

Zimmerman appeared relaxed and at ease, especially shortly before departing. He shook hands with the two officers before climbing back into his truck, the video shows.

Bracknell said Apperson did not want to press charges the second time either.

Zimmerman was acquitted last year of murdering Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, whom he fatally shot Feb. 26, 2012, in a Sanford neighborhood.

Since then, he’s had several run-ins with police. He spent two days in the Seminole County Jail in November after his then-girlfriend accused him of threatening her with a shotgun, pushing her out the door of their home and locking it.

She later recanted, and prosecutors dropped the case.

Two months earlier, his estranged wife, Shellie, and her father accused Zimmerman of threatening them with a gun as the couple tried to divide up their personal belongings. However, neither Shellie Zimmerman nor her father said they ever saw a gun - only that Zimmerman acted as if he had one and appeared to move his hand toward it.

He was handcuffed that day but released.

"George Zimmerman is in the news again, and to no surprise it's not in a positive way."

So much for objective, neutral journalism, in which the opinions of the reporter are kept OUT of the story, rather than serving as the lead.

Is he being hunted down and hounded by a group conspiracy of sorts? Because all of the cases that have come down so far have been circumstantial. Is this an advanced form of ‘Swatting’?

Sounds like a wholly fabricated tale to me.

Zimmerman is losing a huge opportunity in his rapidly closing window of 15 minutes of fame.

He painted a painting, and made a small fortune. Why hasn’t he painted more paintings? By now he could have millions set aside.

I contacted a reporter for the Daytona Beach News-Journal last July,
regarding her article mentioning Zimmerman’s ‘lineage’....

“Zimmerman, whose lineage is white and Hispanic”

I wrote, “I find it a bit strange that you do not mention Zimmerman’s black lineage. Are you unaware of it or did you purposely omit it?”

Her response...

“Zimmerman’s lineage was inserted in the story by my editor. I am sure he will more than amused to know Zimmerman also has a black lineage. I will pass on your message to him.”

Detect a bit of snark in the response?
