blank Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 A driver says George Zimmerman 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, whose name hasn't been released, told Lake Mary police officers that a truck pulled up to his car Tuesday, and the driver yelled, "Why are you pointing a finger at me?" The truck's driver then asked the man, "Do you know who I am? I will kill you," the man told police officers, said Officer Bianca Gillett, a police spokeswoman. The man said he recognized the truck's driver as George Zimmerman. The man pulled into a nearby gas station and called police officers, but the truck was gone by the time they arrived, Gillett said. Two days later, the man said that he saw Zimmerman in his truck outside his work. "He was in fear of having encountered the vehicle a second time," Gillett said. The man called police, and officers who arrived confirmed the truck driver was Zimmerman, the police spokeswoman said. The man declined to press charges, Gillett said. Zimmerman's divorce attorney, Howard Iken, didn't return an Associated Press phone call Friday. Zimmerman was acquitted last year of second-degree murder for fatally shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman, who was a neighborhood watch volunteer, said he shot the unarmed, black teenager in self-defense during a confrontation in February 2012 inside a gated community in Sanford, just outside Orlando. Relatives of Martin accused Zimmerman, who identifies himself as Hispanic, of racially profiling the teen and instigating the fight. The case triggered a national debate about race and an examination of self-defense laws. Since his acquittal, Zimmerman has had several brushes with the law: Last year, he was arrested on charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief after his then-girlfriend said he pointed a gun at her face during an argument, smashed her coffee table and pushed her out of the house they shared. Samantha Scheibe decided not to cooperate with detectives and prosecutors didn't pursue the case. Earlier that year, Zimmerman was accused by his estranged wife of smashing an iPad during an argument at the home they had shared. Shellie Zimmerman initially told a dispatcher her husband had a gun, though she later said he was unarmed. No charges were ever filed because of a lack of evidence. The dispute occurred days after Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers. ? Zimmerman has also been pulled over three times for traffic violations since his acquittal. http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/police-zimmerman-accused-threatening-driver-25462761 Nice to see this guy is still out there protecting the innocent. :rolleyes: spenser.d 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macrosslover Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 what's the point of wasting the police department's time if you don't intend to press charges? He was so scared but didn't want to actually do anything about it. IMO a more likely story is they told him that there was no evidence to support his claim so he was SOL.

Obry Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Even though this guy is probably in the top 100 biggest douche bags to walk the face of the earth for some reason I find it hard to believe the "Do you know who I am? I will kill you" comment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will kill you" comment... Actually this sounds like him, the last 2 incidents he was involved in near Lake Mary and DeLand started with "Do you know who I am" or a similar statement.

FiB3R Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Maybe you shouldnt be either? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I doubt Sikh has ever shot anybody, been arrested on charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief, smashed an iPad during an argument, or been pulled over three times for traffic violations. I can see how he could have formed the opinion he currently holds. I wonder, what made you come to your conclusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techbeck Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Press charges on Zimmerman? For what? Saying he would kill you? There is no evidence that he said that and would be word against word. Nothing to bring up charges about. +E.Worm Jimmy and psmoked 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikh Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Maybe you shouldnt be either? I'm sorry you feel that way but I'm sick of this guy being in the news. He should be taken care of. He's just a threat to society Krome 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaP Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Press charges on Zimmerman? For what? Saying he would kill you? There is no evidence that he said that and would be word against word. Nothing to bring up charges about. There will come a point though where people wont believe him anymore. He is walking on a very fine thin layer of ice. If i were him i would move far north, stfu and mind my own business for the rest of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macoman Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think Zimmerman think that he is superior to anyone out there or believe he is part of the police department (He said previously that his dream career was to become a police). The way he mentioned in several occasions "Do you know who I am" tells me that this guy have some kind of superiority complex issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim K Global Moderator Posted October 17, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted October 17, 2016 ^ Wasn't premeditated or determined to be reactionary .. Like a fit of passion. So if he sought out Zimmerman...it would have been first degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
