1. Zimmerman and Cheney

[Politicalboi]

2. I thought they said he was shot

In the leg. LOL!

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. Latest report says NOT, it was glass that cut him.

He was shot AT, bullet went thru side window, glass cut him.

Wonder if the shooter knew who he was?
Wonder if George instigated the road rage?

[pinboy3niner]

18. Shooter reportedly knew him, had ongoing dispute with Z

Shooter asked someone else to call 911, said repeatedly that he had just "shot George Zimmerman."

[Tommy_Carcetti]

26. They're claiming it's the same guy who was threatened by Zimmerman in the earlier road rage incident

Back in September Apperson told police Zimmerman threatened to kill him in a road rage incident also in Lake Mary. Two days later he called 911 to report that Zimmerman was waiting outside his workplace

32. Oh..well, in THAT case, let's have some more gun carry laws!

4. When you have this many issues with the law

You are the problem.

There is one constant in his constant run ins with the law - and it's George.

[Aerows]

23. Amen

Once, a fluke. Twice, a coincidence. Three times, it's enemy action (to paraphrase, he's his own worst enemy).

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

27. Good thing for "Georgie Boy" he isnt black, probably be shot dead by a cop by now

[Blue_Tires]

5. My leftist heart bleeds...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

6. Minor injuries. Road rage. Heh.

10. This article at least has some explanation of what may have happened.

The other man claimed he only took out his gun and fired after Zimmerman pulled out his own weapon and waved it around.


Of course, gun fanciers will say this is an isolated incident and that they always behave better when armed.

[UglyGreed]

14. Just like he waived it around while

pursuing Trayvon that night. Oh wait Trayvon saw his gun in his waistband .......never mind

[Hoyt]

21. I've always felt he probably had the gun out long before he shot Trayvon.

A bully like him isn't going to leave his gun holstered when he can intimidate an unarmed kid.

[Skittles]

28. I ABSOLUTELY AGREE

there is no way that paranoid gun humping COWARD did not display his weapon - NO F***ING WAY - he pulled it out when Travyon tried to leave, then EXECUTED the kid for fighting for his life

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

15. Yep, I had to look around to get a little written info.

It seems our media outlets are going to milk this one.

[11 Bravo]

9. It sounds like he's OK. Apparently "these assholes" really DO ...

"always get away".

[angrychair]

12. proves my point yet again

I, as a non-gun owner, have never been in a situation in which I would have ever needed one. I have lived all over the country and in some not so nice places but was still never an issue. To often, Gun-owners like this idiot, end up in situation after situation, in which a gun is involved. I can only conclude that this is more indicative of the attitude and amount of risk they feel embolden to take than it is about where they live or crime in general.

[Aerows]

13. He gets into a lot of altercations with law enforcement

If I was in that much trouble over shooting, assault of a girlfriend and destruction of property, I would take a hint and quit being such a violent asshole.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. I used to live about two miles from all this unpleasantness and knew some of the actors...

George makes it seems like it's the Wild West.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

20. I never thought I would compliment Casey Anthony on anything.

But at least it appears she understands she's a pariah to society and chooses not to involve herself in the news every couple of months. Can't say the same about George.

[Aerows]

22. It's like he is determined to go out

in a blaze of gunfire and ignominy.

[Initech]

17. And yet he was innocent in Martin's death. Excuse me a minute. ..

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

19. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Zimmerman staged it

in his passion to remain relevant. He is a dangerous being and I have no doubt if he's thinking about checking out ,it could be something really really terrible like the gemanwings wacko tomato Andy who took down a plane full of 149 passengers.

And something horrendous like that may well be what is developing in Zimmmerman's head and fantasies.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

24. Other driver's name is Matthew Apperson.

I did see one Matt Apperson listed in Orlando on Facebook, but I have no idea if that's the one so I won't post the link. He did "like" the NRA and Ruger, so it would be interesting, perhaps karmatic, if George had a run in with a fellow gun-nut.

[alcibiades_mystery]

25. Hero of gun nut shitheads everywhere

Traaaaaaash.

[Skittles]

29. including more than a few on DU

gawd they are DISGUSTING

[Aerows]

31. You want I should kick their gun-hugging asses?

Let me at 'em!

(Oh wait, that's your line )

[Skittles]

35. gun humpers are COWARDS

all you have to do is say BOO to scare them

[Aerows]

36. I won't waste my breath

on even saying BOO.

[a kennedy]

30. He needs to be in jail NOW.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

33. Another link with more details

There is in deed more to than meets the eye.

[backscatter712]

34. I've gotta know. Will Zim's shooter claim Stand Your Ground? n/t

[JustAnotherGen]

38. That would be just wonderful!

[JanMichael]

37. made me think of the butt hole surfers - should a been a better shot and hit him in the head. nc

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

39. Looking back at articles about Zimmerman

The guy that worked with Zimmerman in car sales who was interviewed pretty much gave up Zimmermans M.O.
It leads to the suspicion that Zimmerman himself staged the whole thing knowing how to cover his own ass with lies.
And it seems he managed to escape a bullet too. The shooter describes Zimmerman as a stocker and he does seem to fit the m.o. there too.


That leaves to question , how is it those two ended up at the same place at the same time both carrying ?
I imagine Zimmerman has a lot of time to spend, I wonder how he spends it.
I should think the cops wonder about that too.

40. When dirtbags collide, there be trauma ...

Hey, finally this equally hated person shows up in my old hospital. It was a matter of time. I can hear the personnel snickering as we roll our eyes!
