Ever wonder whether reality is an illusion and we’re actually living inside a simulation run by an omnipotent being? Well, here’s the proof that it’s true. And that the omnipotent being is Tom Wolfe.
Alternate headline: “George Zimmerman hasn’t moved out of Florida yet?”
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. The crash site is less than a mile from where he shot Martin.
Actually, if this were a Tom Wolfe novel, the guy Zimmerman pulled from the truck would be a reporter who’d been especially loathsome in demagoging the trial’s racial angle. And then, once news of the accident and rescue broke, Zimmerman-hating nuts would descend on the site to protest, claiming that it was all a stunt arranged to rehabilitate his image. (Which, in fact, is already happening in the comments to the ABC story linked up top.) Then the reporter would face a crisis of conscience: Tell the truth about how the whole thing is legit and risk antagonism from his colleagues in the media, or keep quiet to protect his leftist cred and let Zimmerman go on languishing in hiding? If you’ve ever read a Wolfe novel, you know how that story ends. Write it, Tom.
Now we wait to find out what the race of the rescued man was and whether any narratives will need to be “adjusted” in the wake of it. (Here’s one adjustment to expect.) I also want to know if Zimmerman was part of a group working at the scene to free the trapped driver or whether it was basically a solo act. The only way this story could get any more surreal is if there was a crowd there and he was recognized. The ABC story does say that he “helped” rescue someone, not that he did it all by himself.
Exit quotation: “When will he learn to stay in his car?”
Update: Kerry Picket of Breitbart has more details. It was a family of four trapped in an SUV, and Zimmerman was indeed recognized at the scene:
The deputy reported, when he arrived on the scene that one of the two men there was George Zimmerman. According to Sanford Police Zimmerman had a fire extinguisher and helped assist the family to get them out of the vehicle.
“Zimmerman was not a witness to the crash, which was why he was not referenced in the police report,” a Sanford Police spokeswoman told Breitbart News. “He left after making contact with the deputy. There were no reports of injuries of any of the vehicle’s occupants,” she said.
no worries
Thank you for accepting my apology.
In some states there’s the “Good Samaritan Law” that basically protects people who help out at an accident scene. Time was if even if you’re standing around watching and accept a cup of coffee from the rescuers you could be sued for being part of the scene.
That would be my response to these idiot race mongers.
“How many black children did you tutor and mentor today like George Zimmerman has ?”
By the way Mika Brezinski was quoted as saying,
“I’d rather die and be consumed in burning car flames than be rescued by a racist like Zimmerman.”
OK, so she didn’t say it. I’m sure they all think it though.
Oh please im not any where as thin skinned as little Barrack
I could see her saying that too at least she does not wear tampons for ear rings
If hussein had a son, it would definitely NOT be Zimmerman.
Angels have been watching. This man was meant to save that family.
“I’ve never used the sophomoric “sarcasm tag” and never will. If people can’t figure my intent, they can go read my 36,836 replies and decide on that basis whether I’m being sarcastic or not.”
Are you being sarcastic now?
George Zimmerman rescues victims trapped in overturned truck...Four people, including two children, pulled unscathed from burning vehicle:
Message from Zimmerman Haters to George Zimmerman: “We don’t need you to do that!”
Studying their postings convinces me the average lefty is synapse challenged. This combined with a not-nice personality must create problems of Biblical proportions.
Honestly, I feel sorry for them.
RE: Was it a black family?

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...
He will get no credit except from us.
Well, we know his flashlight was not registered.
Yep, we’re living inside a simulation run by an omnipotent being... and it’s repeated so often it’s degrading... really.
Hmmm...
None of those involved looked like Obama's sons...
He might have behaved differently if they did... according to the MSM anyway...
Does this mean Hollywood whores and black poverty pimps will know what area Zimmerman is living in - so they can tweet his whereabouts to Holder's rent-a-mobs?
I’m thinking that might be why it hasn’t been mentioned before today.....
I think you’re right on this...
