Tells press This is your opportunity to get out of my face right now.
So this should be interesting:
Matthew Apperson, the man who yesterday fired a bullet at George Zimmermans head and missed, is now claiming through his lawyer, Mark NeJame, that he did so in self-defense in response to Zimmerman brandishing a gun at him.
Florida news station WFTV is also reporting that Apperson has a history at least six arrests in Seminole County alone, including twice for DUI in 2000 (once found guilty of DUI, once found guilty of reduced charge of reckless driving-alcohol related), twice for drug possession in 1995 and 1998 (cannabis < 20 grams), once for trespassing, as well as being adjudicated guilty for other charges, such as driving with a revoked license.
As might be expected with such a plethora of charges, Apperson is also a multiple probation violator.
It will be interesting to see how Apperson will argue self-defense in court without having to testify personally, which would seem necessary absent any witnesses to support his claim that he fired at Zimmerman only when Zimmerman brandished a gun at him.
Also interesting will be Appersons explanation of how he was able to observe Zimmermans alleged brandishing through the heavily tinted window of Zimmermans SUV.

I read that as "WTFTV."
I should probably try to get a copyright on that.
I don’t get that, looked like the bullet came through the passenger door. Like someone was standing outside his window.
It is like those conservative groups being targeted by the IRS. Those groups must be up to something. Too many of them to be a coincidence. Geez
“There’s going to be hell to pay” That’s Hitlerys favorite saying from the 90s. “I want those travel employees fired or there will be helllll to paaaaaay!” People with 30 years on the job and that effin bitch fired them all for her freakin’ cronys as soon as the Clintoons stepped into office. I cannot believe that freakin witch is being considered for POTUS, after the 9 billion Clinton gates do people REALLY want to go through that BS again?
You know it’s interesting that she should say “Congress won’t be a problem”. What exactly is going on that we don’t know about? How can Republicans have a majority and this Obama still gets away with what he does?
That sure is a goofy little smirk he’s got going there...
what I see is a racist leftist white guy shooting Hispanic Zimmerman
George Zimmerman is a target for trouble due to his past problem with the Martin shooting. He should have moved from the area right after the trial but he stubbornly stays there and gets into these confrontations. Its never going to stop as its a small town and everybody knows who he is.
Nothing that a NYC telephone book couldn’t cure ;’)
I got curious and looked it up. Wackypedia sez:
“At the time of his arrest on April 11, 2012, Zimmerman’s height was reportedly 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m) and his weight 185 lb (84 kg), according to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office Inmate Booking record.[28] Zimmerman’s height was shown as 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 m) and his weight at 200 lb (91 kg) on the Sanford Police Department Offense Report for February 26, 2012, the night of the shooting.[29]”
I saw on the internet that he was visiting his mother for Mother’s day.
If George is locked into this lifestyle, may as well get a reality show out of it. I’d be surprised if he has not been offered a few to choose from.
If this animated ass has multiple convictions, including drugs, why was he even carrying a gun let alone holding a permit to do so?
Why didn’t Apperson have his own cellphone to call 911? Seems he planned this to make a big splash and get his story out first....

(excerpt)
Kenneth Cornell, who works at the nearby Cyrus Diagnostic Imaging, said Apperson ran up to him about 1 p.m. saying he had just shot George Zimmerman.
Cornell said he called 911 and handed the phone over to Apperson.
Our founding fathers did and put such safety features into the POTUS requirements. Unfortunately, too many today don’t want to abide by them.
Thing is, he only had one incident back in college before hussein turned his sights on him. That’s the coincidence conundrum.
People can argue about it, but it is obvious the guy is gunning for Zimmerman - wild west nobody going for the famous gunslinger to make a rep and fame? get a million dollar book deal after gunning down the despicable bad guy? interviews and praise on GMA? Charlie Rose patting him on the back and calling him the reluctant hero on national tv? everyone buying him a drink at the bar wanting him to retell the story how he shot the badman?
A psycho looking for fame and fortune.
I dont fault Zimmerman for Trayvons death or this guy being a psycho, but his judgement on average is way worse than most people(ie girlfriends etc.).
George move out of Florida and live a quiet life.
“why was he even carrying a gun let alone holding a permit to do so?”
That was my first thought,too.
Yep. I believe this guy is out to be a hero by shooting GZ and he thought he got him.
