The Family George Zimmerman saved are afraid now to speak out in his behalf

The Gerstle family were originally scheduled to hold a press conference on Thursday to discuss the Zimmerman rescue but cancelled the last minute and is refusing to talk publicly about the incident:

The family rescued by George Zimmerman after a rollover crash in Florida are terrified they will become targets for hate mobs who have made death threats to the neighborhood vigilante. 

Mark and Dana Michelle Gerstle told friends they do not want to talk publicly about Zimmerman for fear they will be accused of portraying him as a hero - and face a backlash from those who consider he got away with murder.

'They are very grateful to Zimmerman for what he did, but they do not want to get involved,' said a friend, who asked not to be named. 

[...] 

The heroic rescue took place less than a mile from where Zimmerman shot 17 year old Martin in February 2012. 

Mark Gerstle, a 52 year old pharmacist, instantly recognized Zimmerman when he pulled him from the driver's seat of his overturned vehicle.

He told firefighters: 'George Zimmerman pulled me out.' 

Zimmerman made sure Gerstle, his 41 year old wife Dana Michelle and children aged eight and four were safe before leaving the scene. 

He did not call 911 but eight other callers did report the accident. None of the callers mentioned Zimmerman.
