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."

They also said no need to send gun or $$ for gun. His security was being taken care of.


This gladdens my heart.

I couldn’t let it pass, it grates on me so much.

There was a thread the other day with all that ‘let the kid rip’ nonsense. I swear, we are not living in the same reality!

“Social engineering.” Crump and Co. created the false stories early, and repeated often ...

EXCERPTS

In Trayvon’s case, (Parks & Crump) alerted the news media more quickly. They phoned the Rev. Al Sharpton almost instantly, and organized marches with local civil rights activists. They also started pressing for federal involvement and alleging a cover-up from the get-go.

(snip)

“In court, you have the jury,” Crump says. “Our job is to get the case to a jury. We need to fight first in the court of public opinion. The jury is the American people.”

The ABC article has been corrected. .it’s 46 and I4. I think they’re bringing the 417 over there. Near the Towne Center.

How utterly ironic that at the same time a hundred rallies were taking place calling for him to be retried, Zimmerman was exercising his freedom in order to save lives.

If George is out and about, I hope he’s packing.

George is out saving lives, while St. Skittles’ “parents” are out ruining them.

On the “Justice for Trayvon Martin” FB page they are going nuts over it.

Apparently George staged the wreck and hired stuntmen to do it.

Ha.... while I agree with you, good luck on that message. I tried the same thing a few days ago and was accused of being an Al Sharpton-loving liberal. The “class” war has been lost.

Good old George; always the responsible one. He sticks around after helping the family out long enough for a deputy arrive and assume responsibility.

What made the difference was Duke University - and specifically the alumni letting Duke know they were not happy.

There you go. And not happy about the sexually abused adopted child of Duke's diversity czar, either.

What color was the truck?

And was everyone wearing a white t-shirt, dark pants and white running shoes?*



*(typical, helpful MSM description of a non-white for whom police are searching)
