Whose neighborhood was the killer "watching"?

Did rightwing hero Zimmerman even live in the gated community he "patrolled'?


Zimmerman, who patrolled the Retreat at Twin Lakes development in his own car, had been called aggressive in earlier complaints to the local police and the homeowner's association, according to a homeowner who spoke on the condition of anonymity.


At an emergency homeowner’s association meeting on March 1, “one man was escorted out because he openly expressed his frustration because he had previously contacted the Sanford Police Department about Zimmerman approaching him and even coming to his home,” the resident wrote in an email to HuffPost.


“It was also made known that there had been several complaints about George Zimmerman and his tactics" in his neighborhood watch captain role.



The meeting was attended by Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee, the detective assigned to the investigation and an unnamed member of the city council, according to the homeowner’s association newsletter.

I think he should cut a deal.

Zimmerman once took criminal justice classes at the community college and was practically a one-man neighborhood watch, calling police close to 50 times over the past eight years to report such things as slow-driving vehicles, strangers loitering in the neighborhood and open garages.


Now, people are wondering if the 28-year-old Zimmerman is an earnest if somewhat zealous young man who was just looking out for his neighborhood, or a wannabe cop who tried to take justice into his own hands.


Zimmerman, who was captain of the neighborhood watch and licensed to carry a gun, made 46 calls to police since 2004, according to department records.


In one police call report, the dispatcher noted that Zimmerman was calling about a vehicle “driving real slow, looking at all the other vehicles in the complex and blasting music.”


In another call from last August, Zimmerman reported on two black male teens in the neighborhood. He considered them suspicious.


A police spokesman in Sanford, a city of 53,000 people outside Orlando that is 57 percent white and 30 percent black, did not return calls for comment about Zimmerman’s repeated reports.


The homeowners association’s February newsletter said that Sanford police had beefed up patrols in the neighborhood and that officers on bicycles were making random checks of front yards and backyards.


USAonWatch, the national neighborhood watch organization, said Zimmerman’s watch had never registered with the group.


Neighbor Raffie Gaffar said he is troubled by the fact that Zimmerman patrolled the neighborhood with a gun.


“That is crazy. That is totally crazy,” Gaffar said. “Why does he have to carry a gun? Something is totally wrong with that picture.”
