George Zimmerman Rescued a Family Trapped in an Overturned Vehicle Last Week

[GODREKR]

George Zimmerman, who has been in hiding since he was acquitted of murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, emerged to help rescue a family who was trapped in an overturned vehicle, police said today.

Zimmerman was one of two men who came to the aid of a family of four -- two parents and two children -- trapped inside a blue Ford Explorer SUV that had rolled over after traveling off the highway in Sanford, Fla. at approximately 5:45 p.m. Thursday, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

The crash occurred at the intersection of I-4 and route Route 46, police said. The crash site is less than a mile from where Zimmerman shot Martin.

By the time police arrived, two people - including Zimmerman - had already helped the family get out of the overturned car, the sheriff's office said. No one was reported to be injured.

Zimmerman was not a witness to the crash and left after speaking with the deputy, 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."

Would be funny if it was a black family.

BUT NO HE IS BAD! Bad for protecting his neighbourhood from a 17 year old wannabe thug scum scoping the area for his fellow thugs to rob.

We must execute a stand-up citizen, the black president must enact power over the white man!

Wait..he's mixed-race, BUT HE LOOKS WHITE! DERP!

You read it here, gentleman, hes wearing a bullet proof vest, AIM for his HEAD!!

He probably stalked the car and caused it to overturn.. But nobody was there to witness that as well, only the aftermath.


Also, to the people who keeps bringing up race.. It almost seems as if only Black or White people can be racist against eachother. Never seen a hispanic racist towards blacks?

Too bad the people in the car didn't shoot him in the head

good for him. anything positive he can do right now couldn't hurt. but someone will probably end up killing him in the long run anyway. he thought he was doing the right thing at the time, i'm sure he regrets it now tho.

Wait, did he get explicit permission from a dispatcher over the phone before he saved these people's lives or did he just do whatever it took to keep them from dying like he did that time he was in a life-threatening situation...?

The Spanish word for Black is *****, which are the origins of the N word. Also the Spanish were the ones who captured Africans and auctioned them off in Cuba, check out Steven Speilberg's Amistad

At least he was noted for something good this time. I'm so sick of hearing all this racist bullshit on the news.
