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

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."

Media Narrative: “Zimmerman merely trying to head off civil rights suit”

Would Trayvon have helped the trapped driver?

Why does the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People always seem to have their gear in reverse?

"I’m letting the DOJ email tip line know right away. This could be key to their investigation!"

Yeah, their investigation on how to publicize his location so one of racial grievance pimps can get him killed.

I was thinking about that, and I think it’s just as well. The anti-Zimmerman rallies have come and gone, with little violence, which doesn’t make for good headlines. Drudge didn’t have anything on his page the whole weekend. Putting this story up now instead of the day after it happened, for whatever reason, gives it some daylight.

Here’s hoping the accident wasn’t near his current residence.

ZerO has helped make this family a target of hatred and vengeance. He should be ashamed of himself and impeached. But we all know that he will do neither.

one of the comments at the ABC site...

In a few days it will come out that this was staged, just wait and see

Funny thing though, for an ABC article, the comments run about 20-1 in favor of Z

The story should headline:

The driver he helped was white or “white Hispanic” which proves he is racist...

Liberals are going ape over it: A: It’s a setup by Fox. B: He crashed into the truck on purpose. C: “See? He’s always on the cop radio chasing things”. D: It doesn’t matter, he’s still evil.
