Geo Zimmerman helps rescue family from overturned vehicle
2013-07-23
George Zimmerman, who was acquitted earlier this month of murder and manslaughter in the death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, helped rescue a family from an overturned vehicle in Florida last week, authorities said on Monday.

Zimmerman, 29, helped get them out of the overturned sport utility vehicle last Wednesday, barely four days after the not-guilty verdict, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office in central Florida said.

"He did not witness the crash. He rolled up on it after the fact and assisted in getting the family out of the vehicle," sheriff's spokeswoman Kim Cannaday said.

When a deputy arrived at the scene, two men, one of whom was identified as Zimmerman, had already helped get the parents and two children out of the vehicle, Cannaday said. The two men then left.

Cannaday said no one was injured. The family's identity and race were not immediately known.
Race? WTF difference does that make ?
Asked if Zimmerman was being called a hero, Cannaday said, "We're not going that far."

#12  LOL, I saw a comment stating that NBC had a video and it showed Zimmerman stuffing the four people back into the SUV and then lighting it on fire with a red cylinder of kerosene.

Meanwhile, Holder is pursuing charges of illegal stopping and crossing against traffic. And Corey is charging him with child abuse because he pulled the driver out first.

H/t others, too good not to quote.

#11  Smith also told the Sentinel that Zimmerman was not a witness to the crash but that he drove up on the scene and, along with another person,

Thank god there WAS A WITNESS, no more legal lynchings.

#7  Prove? They are under no obligation to prove anything, just shout until they get their lolly.

Try it.

Zimmerman was 0/4, striking out once and leaving two on base in a 1 run loss to Pittsburg, which makes him a racist.

Driving in Florida is a lot like racing, which makes Zimmerman a racist.

#6  He went and saw his lawyer later that day and didn't mention it to him. He found out about it from the media or something.

#5  I know the story was on the news last night, and I believe the family was of African ancestry. But I did not take particular note of it, one way or the other - "OMG, he saved a black person! He must be trying to make up for killing that poor child!"

#4  Hey, B - if they knew the race of the crashes, they could twist it into 'proving' Zimmerman was a racist. Black/white/pink/purple - I'm sure it'd help prove he was a racist. Somehow.

#2  Asked if Zimmerman was being called a hero, Cannaday said, "We're not going that far."

Voluntarily stopping to ensure the safety of children and his fellow man, with no thought for the safety of himself, then quietly departing when the authorities arrive. A hero? Possibly not, but certainly close. Would we had more like him ?
