George Zimmerman says that Black Lives Matter members are 'terrorists' in road rage trial

George Zimmerman used his testimony at the trial of a man accused of trying to murder him to say that Black Lives Matter is a “terrorist” group.

The 32-year-old was questioned Wednesday in the case of Matthew Apperson, who admits that he shot at Zimmerman’s truck on the highway last year but claims that the former Florida neighborhood watch volunteer threatened him first.

Apperson’s lawyer Michael Fay has alluded to Zimmerman’s 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin since the alleged victim took the stand on Tuesday.

Zimmerman, who said that he shot the unarmed 17-year-old because he feared for his life, was ultimately acquitted for the shooting during a 2013 trial.

Homeless, unemployable, in debt to attorneys, a known abuser of women, a recognized face that is despised by people wherever he goes, you might call that freedom. Prison would have been a terror it seems real life is no better. Zimmerman needs to watch his back. Wherever he goes to the day he leaves the Earth this murderous waste will attract hate from any group of random people he encounters. This is why his face needs to stay in the news and as deplorable as he is, he should not go away into obscurity.
