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."

Gov. Scott will no doubt appoint a traffic court special prosecutor to investigate Z’s role in this sordid affair after AAA members camp out in his office lobby.

Interesting...but it didn’t make CNN or other cable news..

“Adult son of Sanford city manager arrested after mom’s 911 call...threatened to kill mom, but now out on $300 bond.”

The hate continues unabated on twitter.

#Zimmerman came out of hiding to save an anonymous person? How convenient. Wow, how stupid do they think we are?

#Zimmerman we haven’t forgotten what you did to #TrayvonMartin... save the hero stories for someone who cares.

@coreybking @princss6 Yup, this is spin to try to foist off the hate crimes case. OMG this is beyond sick. #Zimmerman

#Zimmerman is a murderer, he admitted he killed, U chose who 2 believe. #TCOT #ZimmermanTrial

This #Zimmerman story is so contrived and convenient. How dumb do they think we are?

I bet it wasn’t a black person he saved from the truck. #Zimmerman

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

Not only that. He’d steal the hubcaps off the burning truck and punch the White guy trapped in the cab MMA-style.

Don't worry. Barry and the Mooch are heading down that way this week with a few thousand gallons of gas to throw on the fire

“He shoulda just called 911 and stayed in the car.”

Was the truck on fire? With the location it should not be too difficult to find details of the accident.

The only thing worse for the MSM and the race industry is if the driver of the truck is an African-American. Perhaps the MSM and Sharpton & Co.will argue he should have stayed in the car.
