George Zimmerman: Hero

not exactly a story the left would hope for:

George Zimmerman Emerged From Hiding for Truck Crash Rescue

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.

I wonder if it were Trayvon, if he would have helped the family.

 

The people were probably white anyways, so who cares.

Unless he steps infront of a moving bus for a black man, hes still a racist.

Zimmerman should have waited in his truck for police to arrive.

 

Way to go George! You are a standup guy!

I can't wait until Obama comes out and says, "If I had a son he would act just like George Zimmerman."

Zimmerman is a credit to America and those who know him.

 

Last I heard (I admit my first aid cert. is out of date), if there is no imminent danger to them, such as fire, drowning, bleeding, etc., you're NOT supposed to move the injured in this type of accident, but protect them and wait for help (the help you've presumably called).

 

there is no need to wonder. he is gone. trayyon paid the ultimate price for his stupidity. one thing to check in a few months is what happened to the crime rate in the affected area and in similar areas.

 

Indeed.

 

Some clever tweets (and MSLED dings) about this:

Would truck have overturned if Zimmerman had not been following it?— #MSNBCTonight

#MSNBCTonight Chris Matthews apologizes on behalf of all white people for their love of trucks.

#MSNBCTonight: Clearly, Zimmerman only followed that truck because the tires were black, and it had a hood.

#MSNBCTonight Will repeatedly show the truck as it appeared 5 years ago.

#MSNBCTonight Al Sharpton confused about how to handle Zimmerman rescuing people from a...blue car. Not clear cut black and white.

#MSNBCtonight Vigilante Rescue : A plot to kill public service unions?

#MSNBCtonight shows video in reverse - has Zimmerman dragging an injured person towards the accident and stuffing him into a burning truck.

 

LOL!

 

I will note that there were no burglaries in the Sanford sub-division where Zimmerman lived for months after the shooting.
