The Florida man charged with shooting George Zimmerman had a “fixation” with his target and recently spent time in a mental institution, police said.
Matthew Apperson, arrested for the shooting the neighborhood watch leader in Lake Mary last week, was recently sent to the mental facility showing signs of paranoia, anxiety and bipolar disorder, according to a police report released Tuesday.
Zimmermann was shot last week as he drove through the Orlando suburb. He told cops Apperson got behind his truck and yelled, "You remember me, you fat mother f----r?"
Apperson continued to berate Zimmerman, screaming, "You owe me your life. The only reason I didn't press charges on you is because I wanted to kill you myself," according to the police report.
In September, Apperson claimed his target threated to kill him during a road rage incident in which Apperson again asked, "Do you know who I am?" No charges were filed in that case.
During the latest confrontation, Zimmerman called the heckler a "clown," he admitted to cops.
That's when Apperson fired into Zimmerman's car before fleeing the scene. Zimmerman was nearly hit in the head, but suffered only minor scratches.
The 36-year-old shooter surrendered himself to police Friday.
Apperson was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and firing a missile into an occupied conveyance.
Apperson shot into Zimmerman's car, police said.
His lawyer said he was acting in self-defense when he fired opened fire.
Zimmerman was acquitted of any crime two years ago for fatality shooting unarmed teen Trayvon Martin.
I wonder if the media, the Democrats in general, the Race baiters, and the President can figure out why this guy might have had a fixation.
Apperson will show up again soon and hopefully Z or a Body Guard type will kill him
Maybe he was just after the 10 grand reward the NBPP were offering.
Just another unstable liberal (aren’t they all?) prodded to violence by the hate-peddlers at MSNBC.
Nothing to see here, just move along...

...
The media still wants to portray it as Zimmerman’s fault.
This might describe much of the MSM.
Oh YEH the NUT JOB that shot Congresswoman Gabby Gifford's.
George Zimmerman needs to move to Australia.
He will never be safe here.
To answer this question by D1 of
“I wonder if the media, the Democrats in general, the Race baiters, and the President can figure out why this guy might have had a fixation.”
Let us begin with the begining;
While we were constantly reminded by the selective repeating of the audio and visual later unincluded text portions of the Martin Luthur King Jr. famous “I have a dream “ speech.
The left and its media arm never makes references to the beginning and King’s references to the way this country was uniquely created with its purposes of existence declared through its carefully crafted Constitution, citing God gifts to mankind, and its Declaration of Independence .
They never cite King’s support and belief in it. Because it wouldn’t serve the purposes of racial division which King was against.
This race war crap was started for one reason and this agenda was driven because;
As opposition to Obama’s abuse of his constitutional authority and talk of “impeachment” began to arise and his polling numbers fell.
What Obama needed, worked for, and got , by separating and isolating his solid group of supporters the blacks through creating out of whole cloth stories of “victimization”.
Using circumstances where lawless black youths wound up dead in felonious struggles over guns held by figures of authority. Both Martin and Brown were the attackers. Obama used his “Bully Pulpit to reinforce that “victim” agenda in Florida and Missouri. In both cases he portrayed authority as the aggressors and the perpetrators as the “victims”
In Florida’s case success was indicated by the number of incidents where members of other races were attacked severly injured or murdered by black youths committing these assults in the name of the so called “victim”.
All the while Obama neither commented on nor condemed such activity. Because of this, the question ; Is there blood on his hands ? Are those deaths that resulted from these incidents innocent “victims” of that agenda? Is neatly avoided.
In Missouri he met with and issued a “stay the course” order to the Ferguson protesters. They in turn coordinated by the usual suspects organized nationwide protests. Their purpose and result was a successful demonstration of what would happen if congress ever moved on any constitutional efforts to restrain or even remove Obama including“Impeachment”..
Once the regime measured its unexpected success why not continue ?
Expand it to war on law enforcement. Get more cops refuse to respond or get killed if they do. or hesitate to defend themselves while attempting to confront “afro-americans” engaged in felonious assults while fleeing or are engaged in criminal activity resisting arrests.
Attack the Grand Jury system investigating police mal practice. It’s not after the facts. It’s after “payback”to those poor hypenated Americans known as “Afro” who because of their financial situation are forced to pillage, kill, and rape. And are entitled to do so.
Exploit innocent interchanges between “afros” and different races make them the hypenated, the “afro-americans” believe it’s racist. Create uneeded tension between them and other groups so that those groups not only view the hypenates above with aprehension but worse, as feral creatures unable to know right from wrong.
All because the regime must be protected from being questioned in its exercize and abuse of power.
Then bring in another completely alien group which they believe are easier to manipulate which will furthur isolate the “afro” who will get thrown to the wolves once they’re politically no longer “usefull”.
All made possible by the agenda driven socialist products from academia running the alphabet soup venues controlling the visual and print media . Competing with each other protecting their beneficiairies financial interests. That has wound up in “Trusts” controlled by individuals or groups interested only in protecting their own self interests. “Trusts” which should be broken up.
Worse yet supported by the leadership of the political opposition. Who see the benefits of “working together” expanding government. As the happless voter having never to get their day of reckoning and their children’s children’s children pay the bills living in a culture their forebearers wouldn’t ever recognize.
It began with using the dream of King’s speech as the door mat to advance a political agenda
sad thing about it is if this psycho would have succeeded he would have been celebrated openly by many many people.....and it still may happen.
Just wait, the POS is going to go with an insanity plea.
All the more reason for the Judge releasing him on bail.
“Just wait, the POS is going to go with an insanity plea.”
If you watch his statement in front of TV cameras, you would think that’s a pretty good bet. At the very least, he was over-medicated for the cameras.
Police to shooter: “Why did you shoot at George Zimmerman?”
Shooter: “He called me a name”.
“During the latest confrontation, Zimmerman called the heckler a “clown,” he admitted to cops.
That’s when Apperson fired into Zimmerman’s car before fleeing the scene. Zimmerman was nearly hit in the head, but suffered only minor scratches.”
The writer is trying to conflate the two events as near simultaneous.
It does not make sense, though, as Apperson fired through Zimmerman’s passenger side window, which was rolled up.
Hard to call someone a clown through a rolled up passenger side window.
“Man charged in George Zimmerman shooting had ‘fixation,’ history of mental illness: cops”
All the more reason for the Judge releasing him on bail.
Add to that, ( guessing ) discharging a fire arm city limits, firing into an occupied automobile, attempted first degree murder, aggravated assault, brandishing of a fire arm by someone who probably has no CCW, ( considering he is on psycotropic medication.) and a history of stalking Zimmerman;
And he’s out the door for what? $3k?
Iv herd of people being in a hell of a lot more trouble from hugging a manatee.
You mean aside from the constant bleating of the media?
IMO, it would be easy to manipulate a volatile and suggestible person to do the bidding of someone who gains their trust. Could be via the internet, it would not have to be in person. (I still am convinced that the Sandy Hook shooter was manipulated in this way and that’s why he shot his hard drive before heading out to shoot children. I think his “handler” told him to do that in order to destroy the evidence. Why else would someone bent on shooting people stop first and shoot his computer?)
I agree. If he ever does become relatively safe, the media and the Democrats (oops, same entity), will make sure he’s right back in the spotlight.
It’s just too juice a story.
1. It’s race agitation fodder pure and simple.
I agree with your comments.
I also agree that they selectively hoist King for their own agenda. Heck, that’s what they do across the board. Why not with King too.
You could say Obama was at least questionably inciting to riot.
Thanks goodness the guy only has about 19 months to go.
Sure would like to see that cut by about 75%. We could sure avoid a lot of damage to the nation.
