What kind of person would think that Zimmerman had the right to...

149. If Zimmerman had been killed with his own gun

would his defenders say Martin had a right to self defense? Or would they be crying for the kid's head?

Apparently Zimmerman was not altogether liked in his neighborhood. He was a dumbass. He called Sanford Police Department on average once a week to report everything from strangers to open garage doors. A vigilante. Self-appointed. And as likely to target the neighbors and their friends as the "punks" he was reportedly watching out for.

They should ask the neighbors if they feel safer since Zimmerman moved out of the neighborhood. I bet they do. Even if they didn't know what he was up to then. Who needs that sort of watch "captain" patrolling the neighborhood.

I googled and found this old article published after Z's arrest:

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 president of the homeowners association for the community where the shooting took place testified that he didn't think a neighborhood watch program was needed and that Zimmerman was in charge of the community's program from the very beginning.

An FBI report shows Zimmerman had a pattern of calling authorities about criminal activities and safety issues in his neighborhood. In one of the calls to Sanford police, Zimmerman complained about children playing and running in the street. Four calls were about black men he said he witnessed in the neighborhood after break-ins, according to the report, release by the state attorney's office.
