George Zimmerman Shooting Apparent Assassination Attempt
Gun Watch ^ | 12 May, 2015 | Dean Weingarten

Posted on 05/14/2015 6:27:15 AM PDT by marktwain

Bullet hole in George Zimmerman's vehicle.

It appears that George Zimmerman, who has survived the violent attack by Treyvon Martin, survived the media persecution, survived the trial, had his marriage destroyed and a reward posted on his head for the temerity of surviving, has apparently survived an assassination attempt.   A bullet narrowly missed George Zimmerman's head, leading to non-life threatening wounds.  The man who tried to kill him, seems to have thought he had succeeded.  From wesh.com:

Zimmerman's attorney Don West said a bullet missed Zimmerman's head, but he was sprayed with glass from his vehicle's windshield and other debris.

West said Zimmerman has been released from the hospital.

Kenneth Cornell says that the shooter approached him:
Kenneth Cornell told WESH 2’s Gail Paschall-Brown that he called 911 after the alleged shooter approached him and said, “I shot George Zimmerman.” Cornell said the alleged shooter then got on the phone with dispatch and explained what happened.
From the orlandosentinel.com:
Lake Mary Chief Steve Bracknell said Zimmerman did not shoot, but another person — an unidentified person Zimmerman knows — shot at him.

Police initially thought the shooting was a road-rage incident, but Bracknell said that might not be true.
 The media are already trying to somehow blame George Zimmerman for the shooting.

George Zimmerman has to be one of the most reviled and maligned men in America.  His sin is that he defended his life at a time when the Obama administration was looking for an incident to inflame black voters.

For the best analysis of the Zimmerman trial, Massad Ayoob has done the best job.

The investigation into the shooting is ongoing.

Update: Conservativetreehouse is reporting that the shooter had stalked Zimmerman before.  They say he is  Matt Apperson:
Matt Apperson is the same guy who tried to gain fame in September of 2014 by claiming that George Zimmerman waved a gun at him during a road rage incident.  (Full backstory of their prior two encounters outlined HERE)

The Dailey Mail has found out these facts about Matthew Apperson:

The events were disputed until many witnesses collaborated George Zimmerman's version of what happened.

No doubt Apperson will attempt some claim of "self defense", but it will be very difficult to explain why you have to chase down a man who is fleeing from you, and shoot at him through heavily tinted windows, in "self defense".

It appears that another marginally stable individual has been driven to extreme deeds by the false narrative created by the media.

I’d be very interested to know Matt Apperson’s political leanings.

We conservatives must become a warrior people. It is not optional.

While we were constantly reminded by the selective repeating of the audio and visual later unincluded text portions of the Martin Luthur King Jr. famous “I have a dream “ speech.

The left and its media arm never makes references to the beginning and King’s references to the way this country was uniquely created with its purposes of existence declared through its carefully crafted Constitution, citing God gifts to mankind, and its Declaration of Independence .

They never cite King’s support and belief in it. Because it wouldn’t serve the purposes of racial division which King was against.

This race war crap was started for one reason and this agenda was driven because;

As opposition to Obama’s abuse of his constitutional authority and talk of “impeachment” began to arise and his polling numbers fell.

What Obama needed, worked for, and got , by separating and isolating his solid group of supporters the blacks through creating out of whole cloth stories of “victimization”.

Using circumstances where lawless black youths wound up dead in felonious struggles over guns held by figures of authority. Both Martin and Brown were the attackers. Obama used his “Bully Pulpit to reinforce that “victim” agenda in Florida and Missouri. In both cases he portrayed authority as the aggressors and the perpetrators as the “victims”

In Florida’s case success was indicated by the number of incidents where members of other races were attacked severly injured or murdered by black youths committing these assults in the name of the so called “victim” All the while Obama neither commented on nor condemed such activity.Because of this, the question ; Is there blood on his hands ? Are those deaths that resulted from these incidents innocent “victims” of that agenda? Is avoided.

In Missouri he met with and issued a “stay the course” order to the Ferguson protesters. They in turn coordinated by the usual suspects organized nationwide protests. Their purpose and result was a successful demonstration of what would happen if congress ever moved on any constitutional efforts to restrain or even remove Obama including“Impeachment”..

Once the regime measured its unexpected success why not continue ?

Expand it to war on law enforcement. Get more cops refuse to respond or get killed if they do. or hesitate to defend themselves while attempting to confront “afro-americans” engaged in felonious assults while fleeing or are engaged in criminal activity resisting arrests.

Attack the Grand Jury system investigating police mal practice. It’s not after the facts. It’s after “payback”to those poor hypenated Americans known as “Afro” who because of their financial situation are forced to pillage, kill, and rape. And are entitled to do so.

Exploit innocent interchanges between “afros” and different races make them (the afros) believe it’s racist. Create uneeded tension between them and other groups so that those groups not only view them with aprehension but feral creatures unable to know right from wrong

All because the regime must be protected from being questioned in its exercize and abuse of power.

Then bring in another completely alien group which they believe are easier to manipulate which will furthur isolate the “afro” who will get thrown to the wolves once they’re politically no longer “usefull”.

All made possible by the agenda driven socialist products from academia running the alphabet soup venues controlling the visual and print media . Competing with each other protecting their beneficiairies financial interests. That has wound up in “Trusts” controlled by individuals or groups interested only in protecting their own self interests. “Trusts” which should be broken up.

Worse yet supported by the leadership of the political opposition. Who see the benefits of “working together” expanding government. As the happless voter having never to get their day of reckoning and their children’s children’s children pay the bills living in a culture their forebearers wouldn’t ever recognize. Using the dream of King’s speech as the door mat by a person of his race destroying it.

I suppose George was also going to shoot through his glass windows.

I think Apperson is a crazy person who is trying to be a “hero” by killing Zimmerman.

My song, The Trayvon Martin Lied, has many verses concerning George Zimmerman. The Liberals wrote tributes to Trayvon Martin so here's mine (snicker).

And the government, in particular Obama.

If he’s charged, and gets the same judge that supervised Zimmerman’s trial (and civil case for defamation), Apperson is sure to be acquitted. That judge really stuck it to Zimmerman, perhaps out of deference to Angela Corey and associated political power.

I keep debating in my head whether to call out these idiots on Facebook who immediately jumped to the wrong conclusion when the story broke. So tired of the willful ignorance among people today. I actually have found I dislike a lot of people who seemed to have a good head on their shoulders.

Apperson is now facing the mandatory 20 years in prison and Zimmerman won't be seeing him again until 2035.

Good..................................

I cannot believe that Zimmerman won’t leave Florida and move to some quiet Nowhereville and live under the radar. Maybe this will convince him. It’s a big country and I think one could still lose oneself if necessary. I would say that someone gunning for him would be a valid reason to pack his bags and leave.

Sounds like Apperson was going for an “I shot Jesse James!” moment.

As an aside, on another, but adult-oriented forum, Zimmerman is comically fictionalized as a pseudo-superhero, able to single-handedly take on violent black mobs that are threatening to brutalize, murder or riot against other races.

Often in such situations the police have been handicapped by liberal Democrats in power, demanding that they do not interfere with the black violence against other races.
