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.
M. Apperson is looking at some serious charges, if Angelka Corey moves as fast as she did against Zim and Marissa Alexander.

Law on Shooting in Florida
http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0700-0799/0790/Sections/0790.19.html
Note the punishments at the link as to “intended to kill. etc!
State law here in Florida it makes no difference if car is occupied or not! Car, house , boat, etc, etc!
You are right; most whites are sympathetic to the whole civil rights agenda and have been since the 1960s. Southern whites once resisted the movement, but no more.
when I see Apperson I see autistic spectrum, or at the very least ass-burgers.
...or just plain ass!
Well said! I've been disgusted by all the replies here on Freerepublic stating that Zimmerman should go hide in a hole somewhere like a coward. What the h#$% has happened to this place? I'm beginning to think the management has chased off all the freedom loving Constitutional Conservatives.
