Zimmerman at it again....

A driver says George Zimmerman, the man acquitted of murdering Trayvon Martin, threatened to kill him, asking 'Do you know who I am?' during a road confrontation in their vehicles, a police spokeswoman said Friday.

The driver, 35-year-old Matthew Apperson, told Lake Mary police officers that a passenger in a truck stopped at a light next to his car on a busy street in the Orlando suburb on Tuesday, rolled down his window and yelled, "Hey, what's your problem? Why you shaking your finger?"

Apperson said he was listening to music with his windows rolled up at the time, and that the passenger's yelling was unprovoked.

The truck's driver then asked Apperson, "Do you know who I am?" according to a police report. Apperson said he believed it was Zimmerman.

Zimmerman was acquitted last year of second-degree murder for fatally shooting the 17-year-old Martin, a case that drew international attention and spurred national discussions about race and self-defense laws. Martin was black and unarmed.

"George Zimmerman was the driver, and they were threatening to kick my ass and to shoot me," Apperson told a police dispatcher in a 911 call.

Apperson told the dispatcher that he pulled into a nearby gas station to use the phone since he didn't have his cellphone, and the truck followed him. Zimmerman drove the truck up to Apperson's car, blocking him in, Apperson said.

"He almost hit my car and he said he would shoot me then," said Apperson, who told the dispatcher that he never saw a gun in Zimmerman's truck. "Both of them were threatening to shoot me and kill me."

Why can't we all just leave George alone. If the poor guy wants to shoot and kill a few people that's his right under the second amendment.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Seems the guy has cracked due to his bad marriage and half the World lying about him and trying to destroy his life.

Still doesn't mean he did anything wrong during the Travon Martin affair. Clearly Travon was the one in the wrong.
Further, is it any surprise that people that live in bad neighborhoods, wouldn't entirely be the "cream of the crop" of society?
Nope....

Even the low class have a right to defend themselves violently from violent assault, and being among the low class doesn't generally mean one is "high class" otherwise and won't have his OWN problems in the future.

True, although I don't think George is denying it.

why don't you think that? The link you provided says nothing about him denying or not-denying anything....in fact no quote from Zimmerman is provided.

the "driver" refused to press charges

I have a good feeling about it.

Exactly!

Clearly he doesn't want to get shot.

Don't be so hasty Subgenius. Nothing says this driver could not turn around and bear witness to seeing sturdy Tapirs pulling a tumbago chariot. Wouldn't want Zimmerman shooting up that chariot.

Zimmerman might consider hanging with the Palins, just so people will fully appreciate who they are.
