No, he wasn't.He was a 'SELF-APPOINTED' neighborhood watch-type person.

There was no neighborhood watch group.

I believe there is some sort of training that goes along with setting up a true Neighborhood Watch system. Did Zimmerman have any of that training?

No. He was SELF-APPOINTED.

It really cannot be any clearer...

South Florida neighborhood watch volunteers instructed not to pursue

"It is letting people think, 'I could possibly use deadly force and get away with it,'" Sen. Chris Smith, D-Fort Lauderdale, said Thursday. "I think you will see an increase in armed neighborhood watches. That's a concern for the future."

Whether the killing sparks an increase in vigilante-style confrontations remains to be seen.

South Florida's law enforcement agencies tell their sanctioned Citizens on Patrol volunteer programs, as well as local neighborhood watches: Report suspicious activity to 911. Don't play police officer. Don't pursue.

They're told not to intervene, only to report suspicious activity," said Broward sheriff's spokeswoman Veda Coleman-Wright. "They're prohibited from carrying weapons."

If someone like Zimmerman came running after me, I would think he might want to assault me, he looks like a gang member himself How did he get his Jewish name in the first place?

Well, I'm so happy for you that you have so much faith in an INDEPENDENTLY appointed prosecutor as well as the federal law enforcement investigation into this matter...not to mention a grand jury investigation. Sorry but the truth will come out.

Hopefully the truth will come out despite the fact that the inept and possibly corrupted police department did not proceed with a proper invesitigation or collect and respect the integrity of forensic evidence. The entire group of so called law enforcement in Sanford, that were directly involved with this case should be discharged, on these grounds alone.

Huh?

The independent prosecutor will be asking the questions, not BE questioned.
The Feds will also be asking the questions; they will not BE questioned.

I guess I didn't spell it out clearly enough:

Everyone getting their stories memorized: by everyone I am referring to zimmerman, his new witness, the police at the scene, the chief of police.

I hope you're still happy for me!

Huh? You dont believe that an independent prosecutor, a federal law enforcement investigation and a grand jury investigation { of course they will all be ASKING the questions} will not be able to determine if a bunch of witnesses have "got their stories straight"? You dont think any or all of these law enforcement groups have the ability to sniff out a lie or a coverup among several different witnesses?
You spelled it out clearly enough...you dont know what the heck you are talking about...thats clear enough

Plus, I am not so sure a gated community allows everyone to ask everyone else why they are there. That would be a profiler's (here a euphemism for racist) paradise.
Here it says they will report anything or anyone suspicious to the police, not that they actually do anything:

Not only that,I would feel like I was living among the TRUE American bottom feeders in one.
