Zimmerman accused of threatening driver

Where have we heard that before?

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — 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, 35-year-old Matthew Apperson, told Lake Mary police officers that a passenger in a truck stopped at a light next to his car on a busy street in this Orlando suburb, rolled down his window and yelled, "Hey, what's your problem? Why you shaking your finger?"

Apperson said he was listening to music with his windows rolled up at the time, and that the passenger's yelling was unprovoked.

The truck's driver then asked Apperson, "Do you know who I am?" according to a police report. Apperson said he believed it was Zimmerman.

Zimmerman claimed that he had an appointment in the vicinity of Apperson's workplace. That should have been verifiable, but no word in this story on whether it checked-out or not, so my guess is they didn't take the investigation that far.

If we speculate that he was indeed stalking Apperson, then he may have had friendly LE assistance in locating where Apperson worked.

I know it's been said before but mark my words, this rabid dog Zimmerman will kill again. It's only a matter of time.

Zimmy probably should have gotten the same verdict as Oskar Pistorius.

Pistorius should have been found guilty on the first count, oh but then he is a man. Meanwhile Jodi Arias gets tried by television and gets a first degree count.

They had to prove prior intent for that on Oskar and Zimmy, no dice. However Zimmy was still culpable for Martin's demise.

I think you may be right.
