George Zimmerman Injured in a Road Rage Incident Video - ABC News

Trayvon Martin was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Walking back from a 7-Eleven to the Sanford, Florida townhouse of his father's fiancee on a dark and rainy February evening in 2012, Martin aroused the suspicions of neighborhood watch leader George Zimmerman, setting in motion a chain of events that led to Martin's death and one of the most intensely followed trials of the twenty-first century--a trial that provoked arguments about America's gun culture and racial profiling. As the case progressed, in cities across the county rallies calling for "Justice for Trayvon" were held, and everyone from President Barrack Obama to Hollywood stars to cable news personalities jumped into the debate over whether Martin's death was murder or a justifiable use of force by a man fearing for his life.

Shortly after 7:00 P.M. on Sunday, February 26, 2012, seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin talked on his cellphone with his friend, Rachel Jeantel. He carried a bag of Skittles and an Arizona watermelon juice cooler as he headed along a sidewalk in the Retreat at Twin Lakes townhouse community in Sanford. When George Zimmerman, driving his SUV to Target for an errand, looked out his window he spotted Martin and concluded, as he told police in a phone call, he was "a real suspicious guy." What about Martin made him suspicious is not completely clear. What is known is that Martin was unknown to Zimmerman, young, wore a hooded sweatshirt, walked slowly in the rain--and, most central to the debates that would later ensue, was black. Asked later that night in a police interview the cause for his suspicion, Zimmerman said, "I've never seen him in the neighborhood. I know all the residents. It was raining out and he was leisurely walking, taking his time, looking at all the houses."

Zimmerman called Sanford police at 7:09 to report his suspicions....Continued

George Zimmerman Trial - Famous Trials

Outside the courthouse, perhaps a hundred protesters who had been gathering through the night, their numbers building as the hours passed, began pumping their fists in the air, waving placards and chanting No justice, no peace! Sheriffs deputies lined up inside the courthouse, watching the crowd, who were chanting peacefully, but intently.

By 11:20, more than an hour after the verdict had been read, the crowd outside the courtroom had begun to dwindle; fists were no longer aloft, placards had come down.

Among the last of the protesters to leave the courthouse lawn was Mattie Aikens, 33, of Sanford. She had been standing outside since noon, holding a bag of Skittles and a can of Arizona watermelon drink, which Mr. Martin was carrying the night he was shot. More than an hour after the verdict, she was still shocked. He should have went to prison, she said. He should have just got guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty.

Mark OMara, one of Mr. Zimmermans lawyers, said, George Zimmerman was never guilty of anything except firing the gun in self-defense.

In a news conference following the verdict, Angela B. Corey, the state attorney who brought the charges, rebuffed the suggestion that her office overcharged Mr. Zimmerman.

We charged what we had based on the facts of the case, she said. We truly believe the mind-set of George Zimmerman and the reason he was doing what he did fit the bill for second-degree murder.

Calling it a very trying time, Benjamin Crump, a Martin family lawyer, said he had urged Mr. Martins parents to stay out of the courtroom for the verdict. They were home and planning to attend church on Sunday. The parents, he said, were grateful for all the support.

Zimmerman Is Acquitted in Trayvon Martin Killing - The New ...

If the reason youre in the public eye is for killing someone, youd think it would be best to keep a low-ish profile. Not so for George Zimmerman, who recently went to a restaurant and ended up outing himself, after which he was promptly punched.

Zimmerman and the friend with whom he was dining called the police over the weekend after the outing to the establishment ended badly.

A recording of Zimmermans friends call to the police, reporting an assault and death threat, was obtained by WFTV. The 911 dispatcher asked if they could get out of the situation, he responded, I can try but his friends are all around us.

Zimmerman is still riding on his notoriety from being acquitted charges related to the 2012 death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager that he followed against police dispatchers instructions. The two scuffled and Martin, 17, was fatally shot by Zimmerman.

In the recent incident at the restaurant, Zimmerman claimed that the fight began when the man recognized him.

He told me he was going to kill me, Zimmerman told the dispatcher, continuing, he told me he'd (expletive) shoot me and he punched me in the face, accordingto WFTV.

Zimmerman went on to claim that the man overheard him explaining how he shot Martin in self-defense and then approached Zimmerman, saying, You're bragging about that? before punching him in the face.

This version differs slightly from the version that witnesses describe, where Zimmerman started a conversation with someone saying, I love your tattoos. My name is George Zimmerman, you know, that guy who killed Trayvon Martin? and then showed a form of identification.

While Zimmerman is undoubtedly the victim in the situation, it has a striking similarity to the behavior of Ernesto Miranda.

Miranda, the namesake of the Miranda Rights, was so proud of the notoriety he gained for beating a rape case in the Supreme Court due to improper interrogation that he sold autographed Miranda warning cards. Miranda would go on to be killed in a bar fight.

Zimmermans unidentified assailant could face charges.

Possibly for the first time in the history of modern media, a private investigator (PI) complained to the authorities about being stalked.

According to NBC, PI Dennis Warren got 55 calls, 67 text messages, 36 voicemails and 27 emails from Zimmerman.

Reports NBC with a straight face, Zimmerman allegedly also threatened to feed the investigator to an alligator, the court papers show.

I am embarrassed that I didnt rise above their entrapment, Zimmerman told WND, and do as the Bible has taught me, turn the other cheek.

Perhaps, Zimmerman adds, I should have done what Mr. Warren did and filed a protective order against his harassment of myself and my family.

In the way of background, a year ago producer Harvey Weinstein remember him? and Shawn Jay-Z Carter announced the production of a docu-series titled Rest In Power: The Trayvon Martin Story.

PI Dennis Warren was hired by the duo to recruit people close to the story of Martins death at George Zimmermans hands in Sanford, Florida, in 2012.

Savagely attacked by Martin, Zimmerman shot the 17-year-old to save his life.

From the beginning, the media refused to tell the truth about the little boy who just happed to be an aspiring MMA fighter nearly half a foot taller than Zimmerman.

Martin was high at the time he attacked Zimmerman. A burglary tool was found next to his body. Martin had been suspended from school earlier in the year after being apprehended with stolen jewelry and a different burglary tool.

Like Nikolas Cruz at Parkland, Martin was spared the criminal justice system in a misguided attempt to balance the racial demographics of those arrested. The media shared none of this with the public.

Nor did the media mention that at the time of the shooting Zimmerman was a civil rights activist, a mentor to two black teens, and an Obama supporter.

The media put a target on Zimmermans back well before Zimmerman was even arrested. The New Black Party openly offered a $10,000 bounty for Zimmermans head in 2012, and Obamas DOJ said nothing.

Jack Cashills book explains the truth about the Trayvon case fake news media covered up: If I Had a Son: Race, Guns, and the Railroading of George Zimmerman

Ever since then, Zimmermans family members and a few of his close friends have had to live very guarded lives. According to Zimmerman, Warren used a variety of subterfuges to circumvent security and approach these people.

After Warren located Zimmermans brother living anonymously in Virginia and sneaked into the gated community where Zimmermans uncle lived, Zimmerman decided to turn the tables on Warren and harass him back.

No way did I want them to know where I or my parents lived, says Zimmerman. I can take the heat, but leave my parents and family alone.

Zimmerman is hardly being paranoid. He is routinely insulted, occasionally assaulted, and in 2015 he survived an assassination attempt by inches. The would-be assassin is now serving 20 years in prison.

Despite the provocation, Zimmerman regrets treating Warren the way he did. My family and my loved ones have been through enough, he says. Its time I let my attorneys handle these matters so that I can move on with a private, productive future.

The misdemeanor charge against Zimmerman comes to court on May 30. Without question, says Zimmerman, they did this to generate publicity for June or July launch [of the docu-series]. It is much cheaper than ads.

It is highly unlikely that Rest in Power will tell the truth about what happened in Sanford, Florida, on Feb. 26, 2012.

The series is based largely on the book Suspicion Nation by NBC legal correspondent Lisa Bloom. The book is a joke.

In Blooms retelling, Zimmerman feared black men and profiled the 17 year-old Martin for no reason other than his race. Only by fully ignoring Zimmermans civil-rights work does Bloom make this claim seem remotely plausible.

As Bloom tells the story, Zimmerman follows Martin after the officer tells him not to. He confronts Martin. He grabs or shoves him. A frightened Martin punches Zimmerman. A tussle ensues.

It is not particularly significant who is on top. Zimmerman pulls the gun, points it at Martin, and continues his profane insulting rant for 40 seconds during which time Martin screams aaah in fear. An angry, panicky Zimmerman shoots and kills Martin.

To make this nonsensical theory work, Bloom overlooks major chunks of evidence and makes stunning mistakes on the evidence she does present.

If Jay-Z sticks to the book, the real crime is likely to be the docu-series itself. Harvey Weinstein may have left the production, but his spirit of fair play seems to linger on.
