George Zimmerman, who recently told CNN in an interview that he would not be forced to leave anywhere, has reportedly fled after receiving death threats.

“I’ll never leave this country,” he said. “I’ll leave my home when I want to leave my home. I know it sounds stubborn and maybe ideological but I’ll move when I want to.”

Ironically after making that, while in Miami with his girlfriend, George Zimmerman received death threats.

TMZ reports:

Zimmerman taped an interview last Tuesday with Univision and Fusion, and then took his girlfriend, her kid and his brother to the beach. While they were catching some rays, people noticed him, started harassing him, and then someone shouted out George had a $10,000 bounty on his head.

George and his family then retreated to their hotel rooms and had security do a sweep of the rooms and stand guard throughout the night while they slept.

Early the next morning they packed up and left, fleeing Miami.

Apparently the Black Panther party also made a $1 million bounty on George Zimmerman:
