Robert Zimmerman has revealed their family receive as many as 400 death threats a minute on social media sites and speaks about the time he almost got beaten up by two Starbucks' employees.
Three weeks after George Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges relating to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, his brother reveals for the first time the psychological impact it has had on the family - who live under constant fear and have to keep in touch 24/7.
'No one has really asked us to get into the psychological aspect of this,' he said. 'You don’t know if some one stops you in public and says, "excuse me sir", you don’t know if you dropped your wallet or if someone recognizes you and wants to kill you.
'I think the whole ordeal has taught us to rely on one another. But it taxes everyone's mind, knowing you have to stay in touch and in constant communication because of the threats.'
He told Breitbart about a time when his phone died as he was sleeping when the family got really worried and started looking for him.
After the verdict things got worse for them but their focus is to support each other and 'doing everything to keep each other alive'.
The Zimmermans have to monitor social media to see if there are any rallies or protests organized to determine if it is safe for them to leave the house.
'We have to monitor social media and the internet to see if there are any rallies nearby that pose a specific threat and we avoid them,' he said.
'The death threats usually come on social media, some are emailed. There’s a lot of "you better watch your back, I know where u are, I’m going to get you".(continued)

Used to be but as long as you are one of the special people then death threats don’t count.
It’s unlikely that this will be reported by the MSM - it doesn’t fit the narrative. Speaking of “the narrative,” it’s funny how we hicks understand the concept of the media narrative - and can accurately predict it over and over - when the MSM deny that there even IS a narrative. And we can also predict when there WON’T be a narrative, i.e., which stories will be ignored or downplayed.
A LOT of us have and are.
“400 threats a MINUTE”
Now that’s hate! Wow!
I would have let them beat me up and then enjoyed my new string of franchises. How much damage can a couple of sissies do anyway?
I feel sorry for him and his family for what they are going through. I only hope that he uses his experience as a teachable moment.
The Zimmermans , from what I have read about them, are a family of decent individuals. I can't say the same for the Martins.
All the sobs, both on and off this forum, that are out for George's scalp though he violated no law[s] can be proud of yourself for what you accomplished. Hopefully, you will be put in a situation like George was and the favor of destroying your life can be returned.
I’ve never even looked at twitter but it sounds like there’s reason to want to shut it down. Kind of like professional wrestling and pawn shops...
The regime and the media set the premise for the trial narrative and their presentations ignoring the setting where the incident took place..An area having a “Neighborhood Watch”. If some of those so called conservative talk show hosts had interviewed guests who run such watches they would have exposed the regime and the media for the frauds they are. Particularly a “gated” neighborhood watch.When you enter one of these and start wandering around no matter if you are white, blue, red, green, or black. You can be asked your purpose for being there. You are on private property. And yes those on patrol can and do leave their vehicle and follow on foot if they lose sight of the person they’re observing..That’s the Watch Captain’s who is really a security guard’s job. .
It’s the second time the President of the United States has interjected himself into a confrontation between those in authority on legal grounds reasonably questioned and released someone involved in a curious activity in a patrolled area. Could this attitude be based from the idealized communist concept that there is no such thing as “private” property because the state (collective) owns the land ? .
In both cases those representing “authority” were reported as “white” . In the second case the person working security was attacked after questioning an activity while on private rights of way and allowing the person to continue on their way. Who then doubled back and attacked the “neighborhood watch” worker beating him severly on the ground and the attacker was subsequently killed in a struggle over the Neighborhood Watchman’s legal pistol.
In the second case both were dark skined.
Since the Zimmernan not guilty verdict has been rendered, the facts of this case are still being shamefully being concealed by the media to the extent they are advancing and are complicit in permitting a putrid injstice to be committed of the worst order,organized and instituted by our governent.While denied. It began as a miscalculation when a surname of a Jewish origin shot up and lighted the heavens like a star shell in the darkest of nights. It would have been difused if the media used pictures of both side by side because they look like cousins. And the area where this occured of paycheck to paycheck struggling homeowners of all races trying to protect themselves had been reported and not some ritzy all white enclave.they portrayed..
Worse yet the media is still pilling it on with ABC editing a a black jury members (remember when they were all white)t remarks to make it sound like she accused Zimmerman of murder .

The result as we have seen is that another marxist axiom (division) has been implemented which has resulted with gangs of black youths murdering happless whites who happen into areas usually where a black population is the majority. Those media outlets who by their delberate misuse of the instrument of the 1st amendment are just as complicit in those deaths as the regime is. As they put a target on a mixed race including black security guard just doing his job
Instead the party that hypenated itself from God at their 2012 convention into demo-coms, and believe that all groups should be hyphenated , Afro-American, Hispanic-American, etc..Decided Zimmerman to be the egg that is to be broken,. sacrificed, so that we have an omlet..Just like Stalin did to the Ukrainian land owners known as Kulacks whom he executed, (and used that egg example) in a soclal engineering plan to organize collectives during a Russian drought..
Because as we have learned there seems to be the intention to use a collective data base to create collectives.where a utopia of uniforimity of conformity exists. As was done in Detroit, and Oakland California.only this time a poor whitey or blacky won’t be able to move,.
Just as with the energy plan where the cost of fuel used for energy and transportation and that includes raising the price of transporting gas and oil by rail, that favors a key contributer while the regime has been recently ridiculing the impact the completion of a pipeline, has skyrocketed those costs. Placing many on fixed or limited incomes dependent on government handouts. Resulting from this regimes socialist policies which go blameless.
Now call for the sacrifice of Zimmerman who must die for another communist plan.. We all move together in centers designed and approved by comrades running the collective who (just like Obamacare aren’t in it) won’t ever live there.
What should the Rebuttal and counter charge be ?
Why is this being done ? To cover up Bengahzi, Fast and furious, IRS, Wind and Solar panel gate, NSA spying on US, Over-riding the constittution? Those are blamed on others .But not who accompaines Obama on his many trips around the world at taxpayer expence ? Were they the heavy hitters or their friends holding the president’s hand ? Never looked into either by the House and certainly not even speculated about or reported on by the media.
Seems like that could be considered pay back at US taxpayer expence. Isn’t that an impeachable offense ? Now if somebody even suggests impeachment. What better way to discourage any investigation into malfeasance and corruption by organizing the base for riots in the streets ?
It must not since if it was illegal, the authorties would have made arrests. Me and you both know that since these are George’s family the threats are being made against, no one will be arrested. But, if I am ever around one George’s family that is being threatened, I will do everything in my power to defend them.
Never drank Starbucks and after this, never will. I would drink piss first.
They have more of their share of self hating Whites in their camp from what I have saw. I second your comment.
Bray, the America Wake Up train has long since left the station. As the provisions in obamacare begin to kick in, the majority of voters in America will finally get something they voted for And that alone makes me happy. They are about to receive some of the misery they inflicted upon me.
Beautiful country.....great wine....I would love to follow.
Yes, there are other countries that he/maybe move to a create another life—without fear. GZ and his family will be hounded for years...plenty want him dead. Plenty of thugs that have killed before. I’m sure the settlement from NBC will be coming shortly—neither side wants a trial and NBC is 100% culpable. I figure it will be $3-7 mil. They could all just and leave. Fair? Of course not....but reality is GZ is a target with a bull’s-eye.
“Meanwhile Trayvon’s parents want to take away the Zimmerman family’s ability to defend itself against these threats”
Then the whole family should move to an undisclosed location in Texas, a safe part of Texas where they can stay armed and dangerous against potential threats to their existence.
“Never drank Starbucks and after this, never will. I would drink piss first.”
Oh for heaven’s sake. Two employees at a single Starbuck’s in the whole of the U.S. are *ssholes, and you condemn the whole chain? Where is that coming from? Not particularly rational, wouldn’t you say? Especially as you never frequent Starbuck’s anyway. Faux rage, IMO.
If the threats continue then I would sue the DOJ for contributing to the atmosphere by not only failing to investigate death threats but also by pretending to be investigating a hate crime when there is none to investigate.
Especially when one has to read the foreign papers to find out the side of the story that is inconvenient for the US msm. See the original posting for an example.
