According to another story, he has moved to another state but was in FL for a Mother’s Day visit to his family, and for a doctor’s appt.

I knew from he facts if the incident that it was an attempt to murder George and the charge[s]should be attempted murder. Instead of the ones leveled. and it is my prediction that within 3 months the State Attorney will announce “because of such and such reasons, we are dropping charges against Mr. Apperson.

According to some Freepers, everything is Zim’s fault.

If he has the police record that some say he has, somewhere down the line he is politically connected.

He filed one lawsuit and the judge threw it out.

It is under appeal. The judge threw it out for clearly spurious reasons.

Yes, but on a technicality. He should re-file.

Zimmerman should be owning the AP and its membership after all they’ve done to him.

I’m guessing for “attempted murder” there is a higher burden of proof, since you would probably need to prove there was an intent to kill. Since Zimmerman wasn’t hit, the guy could claim “I wasn’t really aiming for him” as a defense and how do you disprove that?

Assault will be an easy charge to make stick.

Matthew Apperson is the suspect in the assassination attempt on George Zimmerman

Which, if liberals weren't the hypocrites that they are, should make him a major liberal hero.

The way Zimmerman got villified by libs for defending himself, they have no standing to prosecute, or even criticize, Apperson.

Did they find a check from the DOJ payroll in this perp’s glovebox? Or maybe the DHS hired him? He looks like a former gubmint zombie.

“The way Zimmerman got villified by libs for defending himself, they have no standing to prosecute, or even criticize, Apperson.”

Apperson learned an important lesson last year. If you make up a story to make George Zimmerman look bad, the media will believe you, no one will check it out, and you will get lots of attention.

Only one reporter bothered to learn Zimmerman’s side of the interaction last year, and that reporter did not publish it.

Because of the nation media coverage from last year, Apperson had every reason to believe that he could get away with murdering George Zimmerman.

Heck, he had good reason to believe that he would be hailed as a hero; in fact, many are hailing him as a hero as I type.

There are consequences that come from creating a false narrative about a man. Matt Appersons actions are only one of them.
