George Zimmerman shot.
He's back in the news!

I wonder what the details on this one are?

ORLANDO, Fla. (Reuters) - George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of murder charges in the 2012 shooting death of an unarmed black teenager in Florida, suffered a minor wound in a road-rage shooting incident on Monday, media reports said.

Police in Lake Mary, Florida, a suburb of Orlando, said they were investigating the shooting, according to police spokeswoman Bianca Gillett.

WFTV said Zimmerman was shot in the face and WESH-TV in Orlando said the wound was minor.

Police said it appeared to be a "road-rage incident," according to the FOX 35 television station in Orlando.

Zimmerman has a history of rageful encounters including, I think, previous road rage. I'd be willing to bet that he went off on the other driver, maybe even pulled his gun first.

This is what happens in a concealed carry state full of redneck assholes.

Zimmerman has a long history of anger issues.

That came out in the investigation of Martin's shooting and there is no doubt in my mind that the situation between Martin and him escalated because of this.

But the jury still let the sonofabitch off.

Apparently, he wasn't shot. It seems that he received a cut from flying glass that was shattered by the bullet but the bullet itself missed Zimmerman.

Florida bothers me with all the guns as our Son just moved to West Palm Beach to be near his girls.

A murderer was let run free by a jury led by a dumb closet racist so the public remains at risk.

What I heard on tv was that this guy and Zimmerman have had a few other run ins with each other. Then, the guy is driving somewhere and along comes Zimmerman waving a gun at him. The guy shot at Zimmerman in self defense as he was in fear for his life.

I'll bet Georgie was shocked someone else had a gun.

How ironic would that be if someone killed him and got off with the same defense.
