Z lives matter!

Matthew Apperson, the man who shot at George Zimmerman, gets 20 years in prison

n court Monday, Zimmerman described Apperson as dangerous.

"The crux here is Mr. Apperson's blatant disregard for my life, any life … anybody driving up and down Lake Mary Boulevard," Zimmerman told the judge.

He also said Apperson "joyfully bragged" that he had killed Zimmerman that day.

Defense attorney Michael LaFay asked Nelson to free Apperson, a paralegal, while he files an appeal.

The judge said no. Apperson fired a gun at someone in a moving vehicle on a busy street, creating a threat to public safety, she said.

Apperson has been in jail since July 31, 2015. He had been free on bond, but then prosecutors charged him with urinating on his neighbor's front door, a violation of his pretrial release.

I know how much some of y'all love to hate old Z, so there.

If Z was in prison, this wouldn't have happened.

I feel less safe now that this guy is in jail.

I guess Apperson gets 20 years to think about whether it was worth it for the attempt.

 

[James Brown]

Two dangerous men, both armed with a gun, both taking the law into his own hands. One's in jail, the other's extolled for his bravery and crime-fighting skills.

What if Zimmerman was Black, would Apperson have held his ground?

Nope.

If Apperson had a bullet hole in his car or window fired from Z's gun then yes.

They should both be in jail. If Z had been incarcerated for murdering Trayvon Martin, this incident wouldn't have happened, but I have no doubt that Apperson would have landed there sooner or later, as he doesn't seem to be the most stable person in the world. I am fairly confident that if Z continues on the same course with his life that he has been on in recent years, Z will eventually find himself behind bars as well.
