What if he hadn’t gotten out of his truck?

(ABC News) – George Zimmerman, who has been in hiding since he was acquitted of murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, emerged to help rescue a family who was trapped in an overturned vehicle, police said today.

Zimmerman was one of two men who came to the aid of Dana and Mark Gerstle and their two children, who were trapped inside a blue Ford Explorer SUV that had rolled over after traveling off the highway in Sanford, Fla. at approximately 5:45 p.m. Thursday, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

The crash occurred at the intersection of I-4 and route Route 46, police said. The crash site is less than a mile from where Zimmerman shot Martin.

By the time police arrived, two people – including Zimmerman – had already helped the family get out of the overturned car, the sheriff’s office said. No one was reported to be injured.

 

His brother’s take:

George saw a need, he acted. Our parents taught us to help, never to boast. Humility is George’s finest trait. >> http://t.co/hrBvc1798w

  1. What if he had been left brain damaged or dead at the hands of Trayvon? Would he have been there to help this family?

  2. It takes a horribly cold and uncaring predator like Zimmerman to save a family right?

    I can already see it – the family was white and that’s the only reason he helped them.
