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 told WESH 2s 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.The media are already trying to somehow blame George Zimmerman for the shooting.
Police initially thought the shooting was a road-rage incident, but Bracknell said that might not be true.
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)
Matthew Apperson is under investigation over a shot fired into Zimmerman's car earlier this week
Apperson, 35, was said by neighbors to be 'irrational and unstable' in days leading up to Zimmerman confrontation
One neighbor called police when she found a squirrel killed with a BB gun and told officer she feared it was 'a sign' from Apperson
Police documents show he has also been investigated after telling phone canvasser he was planning to kill a trespasser with his Magnum .357
Decision due within days on whether Apperson will be charged over shot fired at Zimmerman which he says was self-defense

It is a very busy road and dozens saw the events. They were interviewed last night on local (Channel 10) TV. According to them, Apperson was chasing Zimmerman, waving a gun and yelling out of the window of his car. Zimmerman was trying to flee. Zimmerman then made a U turn in an attempt to escape, but Apperson made a U Turn as well, drew up beside Zimmerman and fired into his car. Apperson is now facing the mandatory 20 years in prison and Zimmerman won't be seeing him again until 2035.
What do you mean on Facebook, just look right here on FR.
This Apperson guy is twelve kinds of sketchy, I hope someone spends the time to get to the bottom of his story because any way you look at it, this is probably not the last time we are going to read about this guy in the crime section.
Plenty here on FR read those initial headlines and jumped on the "Zimmerman is bad" bandwagon.
sadly, a large majority of the whites believe every thing Jesse and Al and the media say about the plight of the black man. If there were to ever be a race war those whites would fight along side the black panthers.
Since the media hasn’t announced his political leanings we can assume it’s pro Obama. As I understand so is Zimmerman. It was two liberals shooting it out.
Don’t misunderstand, Zimmerman had every right to defend himself....BOTH TIMES and will have in the future.
A cursory viewing of him on TV for 3 seconds said Paranoid Schizophrenia to me.
I think someone needs to start a Go Fund Me Now account to raise money for Zimmerman. So he can get help to ‘get over’ this incident.
It was not just the idiots on Facebook, it was also the idiots in the media who were all but saying it was likely Zimmerman’s fault, that he instigated the situation, that he is constantly looking for attention. Not that he might not be a little “tetched” in the head, but that doesn’t mean that every incident involving him is his doing. For many nitwits out there killing him would be their 15 minutes of fame.
That is a fact, Jack!
Armed and adding.
With the obvious coming tsunami against anything Dem, the liberals and their slaves are getting increasingly restless and nutty, somehow thinking they can provoke all of America into bowing to them.
I’ve heard that he did move away and was only in town at the time to visit his mother for Mother’s Day.
I’m not getting that, not that I’m any expert, but what I’m seeing is a guy who holds his head in such a way that he literally looks down his nose at the rest of the world. He answered reporters questions by purposefully blowing smoke in their faces until he finally go a question that allowed him what he probably thought was a witty exit line. The only occupation I can find is that he plays in a band (most people have moved on by now.) Whole lot of “look at me!” which is to my understanding anathema to paranoid schizophrenics.
He seems to be related to Alan Grayson.
Assassination attempt? Really?
Yes, really. What else do you call it when a person stalks someone famous, makes up stories about them, chases them, and attempts to kill them.
I call it an assassination attempt.
“Im seeing is a guy who holds his head in such a way that he literally looks down his nose at the rest of the world.”
Narcissist?
Narcissists are arrogant certainly. Psychopaths too, neither of these are grounds for an insanity defense. Not that we really have enough to go on, but my spidey sense is tingling ;)
The definition of the word "assassination" is "the deliberate attempt to murder a prominent or politically prominent person".

Somebody let Laz know!
I heard Laz already has a date with her lined up for tonight.
I applaud Zimmerman, why should he be intimidated and run into hiding in a nowhereville spider hole like a coward, you may submit to fear but that type of submission is not appealing to most of us who value freedom, that same logic is what the liberals use to squelch the first amendment, those who exercise their freedom are asking for violent attacks, no Sir in America so far; it don’t work that way.
Zimmerman’s freedom was well fought for; and so he revels in it, they will try to kill him anyway whether out on the street or hiding in nowhere hole.
