George Zimmerman has emerged from hiding for the first time since he was acquitted of murder in the death of Trayvon Martin. However, this was a little unexpected…

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.

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.

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.

While this may be some good publicity for Zimmerman, he better buckle up: according to his father, “[Zimmerman has] had an enormous amount of death threats. George’s legal counsel has had death threats, the police chief of Sanford, many people had had death threats.”

SHARE this good deed by Zimmerman, because you know the mainstream media won’t!

So let me get this straight:

George Zimmerman was walking innocently down the road and then some crazed black man tried to run him down with his truck. The Z man then pulled out an automatic assault rifle and gunned the bugger down.


Man. You just can't make this stuff up...

and jackconrad's white-wing news outlet decides to spin it as "Z saves truck from black man"

(CNN) -- Four days after he was acquitted of murder, George Zimmerman stepped out of seclusion to help a family get out of an overturned vehicle in Florida, authorities said.

Zimmerman and another man helped four people get out of an SUV that had overturned Wednesday evening in Sanford -- the same community where the former neighborhood watch volunteer fatally shot teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012 -- Seminole County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Heather Smith said.

Authorities were called after the SUV went off the road and rolled over in the area of Interstate 4 and State Road 46. By the time a deputy arrived, Zimmerman and another man already had helped the two adults and two children out of the vehicle, Smith said.

Zimmerman did not witness the crash, and he left after making contact with the deputy, Smith said. No injuries were reported.

Zimmerman has been out of the public eye since a jury acquitted him of second degree murder on July 13.

This happened 5 days ago, and it took this long for it to be mentioned in the news? All weekend we heard about the "Justice for Martin" protests, but not a word of this. Anyone who thinks the MSM doesn't have an agenda is a blind fool.

MSN had this on their home page for a few hours, and have since buried it. I was reading some of the comments. Some claimed that the Sanford Police Department staged the whole thing to make Zimmerman look good. Others claimed that Zimmerman had hired a public relations firm to pull this off. Some others said that since the SUV wasn't on fire, his act of helping to pull the family from the overturned SUV wasn't a heroic or even noble act. Of course there where some who just screamed that he was a murderer of an unarmed child, and it didn't matter what he does now. He could personally save the President's life, and there will still be some who will continue to burn with hatred, and call for his death.

The local reason given is that he was not listed on the crash report, which is not locally made public by rule/law for a minimum of (5) days after a crash. Having virtually solely represented those injured in local crashes for over 20 years, I will attest to this.

Confirmation was being sought from the officer who came to the scene and recognized him; from another rescuer; and those in the vehicle. Subtract today and two days for this past weekend. Then, factor in how easy (NOT!) it is to get a local cop on the phone to confirm anything about a crash. I will attest to this too, having tried/done so dozens and dozens of times.

A little positive optimism on your part instead of dower prediction might by worth it for a couple days. See his brother on TV?

Assuming this is 100% true, will it make any difference?
Is it even really relevant to what happened between him and Treyvon that night?

Devil's Advocate: Charles Manson escapes from jail and several days later rescues some people whose vehicle rolls over in a crash. Is it relevant to the history of those he and his minion killed and tried to kill? Shall we excuse him?

^ I didn't go out of my way to study anything extra about his trial but I think it shows a side of him that wasn't talked about.
I don't believe he got out of his car that night with any intent other than to see where TM was going. Somehow he got into a fight and I'd have to agree, that if i started seeing stars and don't take some drastic steps they may be the last thing I see. At that point it's me or him and it won't be me and yes panic would be my motivation.
Ill bet any of you would do the same, regardless of race creed sex, survival kicks in.
Only in hindsight can we presume he over-reacted, we were not there and according to Florida state law he, in the end, took action to save himself.
Sorry TM, sorry to his family, wish it never happened to any of them.

That's assuming he did something wrong which has not been proven . What has been proven is that the Left and the media generally are using him to promote their own agendas .

Where you are coming from?

I watched the entire trial live, except for one day when I had to watch it on replay at night. I am certain in my head and heart that "not guilty" was the proper verdict. Admittedly, I waited until the trial to make my mind up solely based on the evidence submitted at trial- as opposed to the news versions of the evidence.

As to what happened that night, I am very sorry for both of them- they made themselves victims. One died. the other will live with it for the rest of his life in ways we cannot know.

That being said, I have an alternate theory...

You must be kidding. Just the left, NOT the right?
Seriously, are you serious?

Every side of every thing/everyone has "skin" in this one. A simple murder trial has been turned into the biggest news event of the year. Sharpton, et al ramped it up and then everyone else jumped in the boat. EVERYONE.

Jack, this isn't political: L v. R; Dem v. Rep; black rights v. white laws; and so on and so forth...
It is social. It has to do with race, which is not political. Religion, which is not political. The media- which some think is political; gun controversy; Good v. bad...

Example: I think he was "not guilty based on the trial. You feel he is not guilty too. Neither of us would think for a minute we are on the same place on the political spectrum, yet we agree on this (and more than you may ever know know), but for different reasons.

As I was writing about showing his character of helping others... thought it needed more and got carried away.
Decided to tell you all that if I found myself in that position i would do the same.
To me it sounded like he should not have been charged before the trial but I too felt not guilty was proper from the facts reviled on whatever local news I was watching but was willing to abide by the courts decision
I appreciate and like reading your insight on all things legal that show up on this forum.

It's all Bush's fault. Several years ago, Bush had Cheney kidnap Zimmerman. He was taken to Halliburton where he was brainwashed and "conditioned" to kill minorities. He's been a walking time bomb ever since, just waiting for a coded phone call from Bush to set him off.
