| If this was anyone else, this wouldn't even be news. He pretty much helps saves a family and people are trying to say it was a conspiracy? I don't know what his intentions were, if he truly wanted to help these people, or if he thought trying to help then would put him in a tiny bit of a better light, but the fact is he did help save a family from a wreck. An X of mine would always help people, although I always wondered what his intentions were. Like he would see someone pushing a car on the other side of the street and make an illegal U turn to go back around and help them. To me didn't really seem genuine. He wanted to help so that people could tell him he's so nice. But didn't seem like it came from the heart. Perhaps Z is the same? Don't know. But he did help.

| Motives ? We are only guessing. I am glad the family got help. Of course it didn't get much coverage, too many people want George dead.

| It's amazing that his killing of a person was determined by social media and the media to be the worst of the worst of crimes and the killer the most hated man in America because he "profiled" but not much is being said anywhere about those "profiling" him or the family he helped, who are too scared for their two children to come forward and even talk about what happened. Mark O'Mara said that when that family called to cancel the press conference they were to do with him, the voice of the caller was shaking in fear! Just a couple out with their two kids, had a wreck, got pulled out of the vehicle and now they are having to hide in fear and the press isn't even covering that as a story. The couple even had one network blur the adults faces and not just the children so they couldn't be recognized and profiled.

| Zimmerman isnt going to get fair and unbiased media coverage because they are too busy portraying him as the devil and this story doesnt fit that image. It is terrible how badly we are manipulated by the media

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I really don't like the title of this thread, people may misunderstand your meaning. I had heard he helped a family out of an overturned SUV, it happened after the acquittal. I would hardly call him a hero.

| I had to think twice about that "hero" too but as he's the subject of thousands of death threats, probably more than a few of them as real as it gets - and a hunted man with a bodyguard full time to try to stay alive - to even stop, exit his vehicle and show his face in public took some cajones that not many men would have after the outrage and anger expressed by so many 4 days before after the court verdict and which rage was still burning on that very day. Some have even wondered if the wreck was real or staged just to make him look good! Conversely, how did Zimmerman know that wasn't a staged accident, if you will, calculated to get him to stop so he could be shot? I probably would have just kept going I'd be so scared if so many wanted me dead. But back to reality, as the vehicle was turned on its side, it could have burst into flames any moment, those two children burned to death if they didn't get out in time. Most people that pull others from wrecked cars aren't heros usually unless their own life is at stake somehow, too. And wherever that man Zimmerman goes outside his home, anywhere he can be seen, his life is at stake. Those circumstances make him a hero to me - a hero being someone that thinks he could be putting himself in jeopardy to help others. And when you are the subject of such hate and rage that you must use a bodyguard, essentially live closed away, unable to go into a mall or grocery store or movie due to those out to kill you, always in a bulletproof vest, just going out of the house is fairly brave. But one day those that want him dead will no doubt satisfy their hate. I doubt he's got long to live before someone gets to him.

| Well I consider any one who helps some one or something a hero. Our world is so focused on bad things that I have to do that or I might go crazy with how terrible our world is today. Just one kind thing can change the world. The car was on fire it could have exploded at anytime sounds heroic to me.

| And the term hero is often used in connection with helping during any kind of rescue or helping someone in need. It needn't be misunderstood as anything more.
