George Zimmerman Emerged From Hiding for Truck Crash Rescue
ABC News ^ | July 22, 2013 | Matt Gutman and Alexis Shaw

Posted on 07/22/2013 9:49:57 AM PDT by Uncle Chip

George Zimmerman, who has been in hiding since he was acquitted of murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, emerged to help rescue someone who was trapped in an overturned truck, police said today.

Sanford Police Department Capt. Jim McAuliffe told ABC News that Zimmerman "pulled an individual from a truck that had rolled over" at the intersection of a Florida highway last week. Florida Highway Patrol is now handling the case, McAuliffe said.

The crash occurred at the intersection of I-4 and route 417, police said.

It's the first known sighting of Zimmerman since he left the courtroom following his acquittal last week on murder charges for the death of Martin. Zimmerman, 29, shot and killed Martin, 17, in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012. The jury determined that Zimmerman shot Martin in self-defense.

The acquittal prompted dozens of protests across the country this past weekend and his lawyers have said that Zimmerman has been the subject of death threats. His lawyers said Zimmerman has been wearing a bullet-proof vest when he ventures out in public.

Zimmerman's parents told ABC News' Barbara Walters they too have received death threats and have been unable to return to their home.

"We have had an enormous amount of death threats. George's legal counsel has had death threats, the police chief of Sanford, many people have had death threats," Zimmerman's father, Robert Zimmerman said."'Everyone with Georgie's DNA should be killed' -- just every kind of horrible thing you can imagine."

This happened last week. Amazing that it wasn’t reported/admitted until now.

The Traybaggers in the media didn't want to report anything inflammatory while the NAACP convention was going on all last week in Orlando.

Anybody check out DU today? They are in an absolute meltdown over this story. It MUST be fabricated, it MUST be a PR move!

Crazy must be a difficult place to live in for them.

The idiots on the left are now claiming that GZ is stupid for having moved them after an accident. They’re hoping that GZ will now be sued by the family or on behalf of the family. Their hatred for GZ is absolutely bizarre.

“The Traybaggers in the media didn’t want to report anything inflammatory while the NAACP convention was going on all last week in Orlando.”

You’re right!

Today I watched the Dr. Phil show, as I always do at 4pm. This will be the very last time I’ll watch it. He had the Martins on with Tracey, Trayvon’s father, trying to squeeze tears from his eyes several times.

Trayvon’s mother was asking Dr. Phil how she could possibly get over losing her innocent baby. For the entire show, they had photo up of the 12 year old with GZ’s photo in the courtroom. The entire hour was disgusting. Phil sided with the parents and criticized the jurors’ verdict.

Race was brought up, Phil said that GZ stalked for no reason and shot needlessly. I was shocked!

I will never ever watch that show again.

RE: I’d be very interested in knowing whether the truck driver was black. If so, the “media” will claim Zimmerman caused the accident because he likes to profile blacks.

George Zimmerman says the victims were White.

I was kinda hoping on eof them would be a black 17 year old kid...

Oh well, maybe next time...

Trayvon would have pulled the guy from the truck while feeling for his wallet.

Nah, he'd have pulled the wallet and extracted the "no-limits" reparations, and left the guy inside.

Overheard on the interwebs:

George Zimmerman is basically Batman.

In any story involving Zimmerman, ask yourself, would society be better served by more George Zimmermans, or by less George Zimmermans?

The one that we do have has already nearly singlehandedly saved a family of people from a burning vehicle and stared into the face of black criminality at great cost to himself.

If he runs for President in 2016, I'll renounce my citizenship, go to Mexico and become a citizen and then sneak back across the border so I can vote multiple times for him without being investigated.

During jury deliberations they could only drum up sixty protesters outside the court house, so locally he is not as reviled as in some of the liberal cities with large black ghettos.

Fitty cents says Holder indicts and tries to move the proceeding to D.C.

“Excellent. Let him know it!”

I did. First time I ever wrote a show. I included several articles telling what TM was really about.

A black guy by the name of Roland told one lie after another. He even called TM a “little” child that GZ followed and killed.. Dr. Phil agreed.

...Roland photo below. I’m sure you’ve seen him before...a race baiter.

Because he was in fact resting in peace until those folks starting using him .....

I doubt the "resting" part .... he was killed instantly while trying to murder a man.
