"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."

My post got pulled because I called him deranged (for selecting his avatar.) What's interesting is how long in his posting history he's been holding back, but he's showing his true colors now. It makes quite an impression.

I saw the neighborhood lunatic in my area raving by the water fountain without his shirt on. When people lose it, it's not a pretty sight.

Did Zimmerman cause the crash by following these people?

The whole rescue could have been avoided if George had just stayed in his truck.

Are you suggesting that only the physically fit should qualify to own a gun?

quote:

I disagree with you on every point but one.
It is quite possible that Martin felt threatened.
It is reasonable to think that Martin believed Zimmerman was going for a weapon when he reached for his cell phone.
This means that I would have been arguing for Martin being acquitted were he on trial.
This in spite of the fact that according to his GF (after the trial of course) said that Martin thought (profiled as) Zimmerman was a homosexual out to rape him. And her admission the Martin almost certainly started the fight.
None of this negated Zimmerman's right to self defense as it was a cell phone not a weapon.
A tragedy not a crime

I see all of that except: Martin felt threatened.
He made it to the apartment, turned around, went "cracka huntin", and found one.
