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 someone who was trapped in an overturned truck, police said today.

Sanford Police Department Capt. Jim McAuliffe told ABC News that Zimmerman "pulled an individual from a truck that had rolled over" at the intersection of a Florida highway last week. Florida Highway Patrol is now handling the case, McAuliffe said.

The crash occurred at the intersection of I-4 and route 417, police said.

It's the first known sighting of Zimmerman since he left the courtroom following his acquittal last week on murder charges for the death of Martin. Zimmerman, 29, shot and killed Martin, 17, in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012. The jury determined that Zimmerman shot Martin in self-defense.

The acquittal prompted dozens of protests across the country this past weekend and his lawyers have said that Zimmerman has been the subject of death threats. His lawyers said Zimmerman has been wearing a bullet-proof vest when he ventures out in public.

Zimmerman's parents told ABC News' Barbara Walters they too have received death threats and have been unable to return to their home.

"We have had an enormous amount of death threats. George's legal counsel has had death threats, the police chief of Sanford, many people have had death threats," Zimmerman's father, Robert Zimmerman said."'Everyone with Georgie's DNA should be killed' -- just every kind of horrible thing you can imagine."

Stay off of Facebook kids. America would be alot less ignorant on the subject if this man had any respectable airtime on the news.

More in the sense that by doing that, they are really no better than he is. Esp when sending death threats to his parents.

Don't get me wrong, because I really like Cornel West but he takes things to a logic extreme at times and criticizes a whole lot of things (governmental organizations and courts for the most part) without truly suggesting ways to fix those systems beside making everyone black. He also tends to be blind to the oppression of other minority groups.

He is from the same cloth as people like bell hooks, who again is a great person with great ideas that get taken to an extreme. They do a lot for highlight racial differences and hidden oppressions, but then get upset about very minor things because "everyone is racist in their heart".

I had to stop reading bell hooks after the prologue to one of her books described her interaction dealing with a conflict over a double booked seat on a flight, and her overdramatized reaction to the situation while failing to recognize her privilege in being in the situation to begin with.

[notorious bum]

This is completely false. Smiley and West are always about working towards solutions and strengthening ALL communities. They've been doing Poverty tours since the release of their book that are not 1-stop locations of only poor black communities across the country.

What may seem like logical extremes to you are just simply the reality of how our government works against the poor, with the most observable extremes being against people of color.

A Wild Zimmerman appears!
