George Zimmerman Shot and Wounded in Road Rage Incident

If true, that would appear to be stalker Mathew Apperson, who has been stalking Zimmerman for months - maybe longer - over the trial verdict:

I do not admire Zimmerman. He appears to make poor choices. But he does not deserve to be unlawfully stalked by Mathew Apperson (if that is who this turns out to be) - let alone killed or shot at. Why do you all want that so badly?

And the blood-lust for Zimmermans death certainly seems to flow mostly from the left (not that this is a political thread. It can't be a political thread. If it were a political thread, then the OP would have followed the rules by posting it in the correct sub-forum instead of the more popular off topic forum. Just sayin').

Yep, I amazed this guy is still alive. He is living on the edge.

So much hatred towards Latinos; this is really sad. Were you always a racist, or only as an adult?

Let me ask you a sincere question, do you think that someone who intentionally attempts to garner media and public attention for himself should have expectations for being treated as a private citizen?

Simply because he is polarizing figure that creates views and clicks for whatever news source it is. When his name is mentioned they know that folks will react. Controversy sells! Simple as that.

I disagree with your premise. Zimmerman did not choose to "garner media and public attention for himself," but rather was thrust into the public spotlight because what was and should have been a garden-variety self-defense case, barely worthy of the local news blotter, was made round-the-clock national news for months, and Zimmerman subject to the full Two-Minutes-Hate treatment, day-in and day-out, for all that time. If Zimmerman's own efforts to rehabilitate his reputation and profit, in some small measure, from his experience, *after* all this occurred, justifies ongoing media scrutiny of his every foible, to be cast nationwide whenever it can be used to further damage his reputation...? Well, all I can say is that I disagree with that, and a responsible media would have accepted that they got the story wrong and at least have the decency to let the guy alone going forward.

I say that with no great admiration for Zimmerman, who seems like a rather pedestrian fellow who gets into the types of scrapes that are commonplace for literally tens of thousands of his fellow men, all across this great nation of ours. Yet, he is the one who is on CNN for life, it seems. It reeks of payback.

Commonplace?! Did you say commonplace?!! How many scrapes with the law or involvement with violent disputes has this guy had? Sorry, this is not commonplace for the vast majority of people. Guy's a screw up. If he wants to stay off CNN, well, he can figure out how to stay out of trouble. Literally, millions of men have figured out how to do that.

"LAKE MARY, Fla. — George Zimmerman was involved in a shooting incident in Lake Mary on Monday afternoon, according to Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell.

The shooting involved two men and happened on Lake Mary Boulevard about 12:45 p.m., police said."

Not at all surprised. This nut job spends all his time trying to point fingers and enforce his kind of law. What did he think was going to happen? It really was just a matter of time. I would bet anything he has not yet learned his lesson. He will never shut his big mouth, and he has zero boundaries: a recipe for disaster. He brings it upon himself. I would also bet that there is not one person that really feels bad. Maybe there are a handful of people in this world that act like his friend to his face, so as to avoid getting shot, but that's about it.

No kidding. Zimmerman and this guy are just upset that karma caught up with Zimmerman. Did anyone else doubt that it would? I know a guy like this, self described neighborhood watch captain, and he is a disaster. No one wants to associate with this type, IRL.

BINGO.

He brings it upon himself, then tries to act like the victim. We all know one of these losers. He is fooling no one.

-except in this case, he appears to have been stalled by an unbalanced, armed individual.

I do not want to say what my first thought was. It was not in GZ's favor...

Yeah, but in the end, is it not going to be only those left, with their own kind? Karma, indeed.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Zimmerman shoot Martin as he was having his head bashed into a curb by Martin? Perhaps that's why he was aquitted?

You're correct that Zimmerman SAID he shot Martin as he was having his head bashed into a curb by Martin.

I'm surprised nothing worse has happened to Zimmerman as of yet. He is not one for boundaries, is he?
