A volunteer community watch captain who shot an unarmed Florida teenager to death last month had been the subject of complaints by neighbors in his gated community for aggressive tactics, a homeowner said.
George Zimmerman has not been charged in the Feb. 26 shooting of Trayvon Martin, 17, who was walking home from a convenience store in Sanford, Fla., near Orlando. 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. The chief couldn’t immediately be reached for comment about the complaints. A member of the homeowner’s association board, who asked not to be quoted by name, said she “hadn’t heard about any complaints” about Zimmerman. Zimmerman’s phone number is disconnected and efforts to reach him have been unsuccessful.

This is extreme bullshit, I’m Black and this white Hispanic monster has taken a beautiful life away. Because he is a white Hispanic he is free? The police dept will get sued, the hoa will get sued for allowing this vigilante (really is the neighborhood nuisance). The non racist people of this country know exactly what’s happening. If he is not arrested soon the police dept. should be under investigation. Who kills a child and is not arrested? Skittles and ice tea? This Zimmerman (is this a Jweish name?) I think so, so Hispanic Jewish folk can kill blacks with no problem. So can a Black man follow a white jewish child/teen with candy and juice in his pocket, shoot him dead and not be arrested? Not that I’m calling for anyone to take a child’s life… But what would happen? What?

the real scary part of this Captian Bill Lee precedence is the ability to commit a hate crime, scare the h**l out of a child, corner him so has no choice but to defend himself and then kill him in self defense? What idiowould even try to get this to fly and why is he a Captain on a police force! Billy Lee has set a new very dangerous precedent. Force the guy into a corner and get him to hit you just once to draw a little blood and then you have the right to kill the victem?
In fact that sounds more like a robbery gone bad the robber gettin gto claim self defense since you dod not want to die and fought back??
