Family that Zimmerman rescued: TERRIFIED!

The family rescued by George Zimmerman after a rollover crash in Florida are terrified they will become targets for hate mobs

  • Mark and Dana Michelle Gerstle said they do not want to talk publicly about Zimmerman for fear they will be accused of portraying him as a hero
  • Zimmerman pulled the couple and their two children from their car after a terrifying crash on July 17
  • It was the first time Zimmerman was seen since being acquitted just four days earlier of murdering Trayvon Martin
  • Went into hiding after he, his family and attorneys received death threats and thousands protested the verdict
  • Gerstle family are frightened Zimmerman haters will target them too

The Gerstle family from Port Orange, near Daytona Beach, have refused all requests to talk about their encounter with one of the most infamous men in America.

Mr Gerstle was in no mood to discuss Zimmerman when he arrived back at the family home today in a rental car.

He screamed at reporters from his garage saying: 'Go away. I've got nothing to say.'

The family have lived in the single story, tan stucco home for the past 10 years.

Gerstle drove straight into his garage after speeding down the road past several TV trucks and film crews waiting to interview him.

He appeared enraged that media wanted to talk to him.

A neighbor in Port Orange said: '(He) will be very embarrassed by all the attention he will get.

'He is a very quiet man and will not like having his name mentioned all over the press. I am sure he is very grateful to Zimmerman but he is not the type you will see on a chat show talking about what happened.'
