Thanks for posting. This report is the least biased against Zimmerman I've seen.

Ever since he defended himself from Obama's look alike son, Zimmerman has been a walking target.

I was looking for some information on this guy Apperson looking for motive, but I found very little. I did, however, come across this interesting headline:

I just found this interesting article:

Zimmerman Shooter Claims Self-Defense
Posted by Andrew Branca Tuesday, May 12, 2015 at 8:30am

So this should be interesting:

Matthew Apperson, the man who yesterday fired a bullet at George Zimmerman’s head and missed, is now claiming through his lawyer, Mark NeJame, that he did so in self-defense in response to Zimmerman brandishing a gun at him.

Florida news station WFTV is also reporting that Apperson has a history at least six arrests in Seminole County alone, including twice for DUI in 2000 (once found guilty of DUI, once found guilty of reduced charge of reckless driving-alcohol related), twice for drug possession in 1995 and 1998 (cannabis < 20 grams), once for trespassing, as well as being adjudicated guilty for other charges, such as driving with a revoked license.

As might be expected with such a plethora of charges, Apperson is also a multiple probation violator.

It will be interesting to see how Apperson will argue self-defense in court without having to testify personally, which would seem necessary absent any witnesses to support his claim that he fired at Zimmerman only when Zimmerman brandished a gun at him.

Also interesting will be Apperson’s explanation of how he was able to observe Zimmerman’s alleged brandishing through the heavily tinted window of Zimmerman’s SUV.



Whatever explanation Apperson may seek to personally communicate, his criminal history will certainly be used to attack his credibility.

Apperson’s interaction yesterday with WFTV news reporter Mario Boone also doesn’t exactly suggest the coolest of demeanors. Boone reports that when asked for comment outside of the Lake Mary Police Department, Apperson responded aggressively, blowing cigarette (?) smoke at the reporter and forcefully stating: “This is your opportunity to get out of my face right now.”

Based upon Matt Apperson's history with law enforcement and his neighbor's description of his behavior as strange, wacked-out, I've been wondering what is Apperson's source of income.

I haven't found it but I did find this, if true, interesting tidbit
@ThirstyMan

"Zimmerman was on his way to his Doctor's office, which is where all three incidents with Apperson have initiated - Apperson's family owns a law firm, WK White Associates, in the same strip center. I wonder if there is someone in the Dr's office giving Apperson the information on Zimmerman's appointments."

There are some interesting comments after the article.
