SANFORD -- The people at the Retreat of Twin Lakes had been missing bikes, grills and a few times thought strangers were casing their town houses.

When the homeowners association wanted to start a neighborhood watch, only one man stepped up: George Zimmerman, the 28-year-old who admitted to shooting an unarmed Miami Gardens teenager and who is now the focal point of a race-related scandal of national proportions.

This guy thought he was some sort of policeman. While he may have helped thwart some attempts at burglaries in the past he was clearly stereotyping Trayvon Martin and was sticking his nose in where it did not belong. I find it disturbing that he was allowed to do this in this community.

1. Due to this guy's mental illness

Someone is dead. And he is still free to kill again.

2. The Tacklebery syndrome

[DrDan]

3. not only "allowed to do this" - but prompted to by the NRA and their

constant fear-mongering.

[Hepburn]

5. +1,000

Amen, Dr. Dan.

[COLGATE4]

15. + another 1000

4. I am not white

I am not white, and I LOVE running. I jog about 4 miles, three times a week around neighborhoods. I live in Houston and Trayvon can easily be me.
This is screwed up.

7. Zimmerman was also charged with resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer in 2005.

He's quite a gem. Seems to be the police department's little buddy now.

[The Magistrate]

8. Those Calls, Ma'am, Do Not Seem To Have Led To One Arrest Or Warrant

One searches that article in vain for any mention of any actual crime or criminal the fizzing little puke Zimmerman actually alerted police to. He seems to have done nothing but prowl the neighborhood harassing black people....

[Jennicut]

10. True. He seemed to think he was "helping" his community. Instead, he hurt it.

He really seems to think he is a neighborhood hero. Instead, he was a racist harasser.

9. Wasn't the BTK killer

A community neighborhood "watch" person as well?

This guy is a fucking NUT just like BTK.

[XanaDUer]

12. BTK was a cOmpliance officer

And worked for a security company. But I have no problem seeing him volunteering to prowl a neighborhood looking for potential victims, either.

16. Also, the Son of Sam was an auxiliary policeman in the Bronx.

Sez Jimmy Breslin and Dick Schaap.

[Nay]

11. He's a cop wanna-be. What do you want to bet he's already applied to at least one police dept and

been turned down on the psych?

[Corgigal]

17. exactly what I was thinking

failed the psych testing. Wanta be's can be dangerous and some end up as security officers. This guy couldn't even get that.

[lunasun]

13. has this killer been arrested yet???????

[applegrove]

14. Like I always say, gun owners do have fantasies about using their weapons.
