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)

This is being encouraged by the holder’s DOJ, he wants his people to be outraged and damn the facts, this is taking advantage of a “crisis” that his “Community Relations” division helped turn into a crisis. The Departmen of Justice has nothing to do with justice they only foment discontent.
Contact Starbucks and let them know this is unacceptable and the employee needs to be fired. I just did.

One or two employees from a company which owns 20,000 stores?
Contact the company instead of griping for God’s sake.
I ain’t griping. I just stay away from there. The closest I come to a Starbucks id the distance between the sidewalk and the building.
Starbucks is one of the only major companies which support gun rights and open carry. I frequent any company which stands by the 2A......and Starbucks does.
I never heard of that. I didn’t know that. If true, my attitude toward them will change.
Thank you.
It’s no coincidence that when open carry groups meet up, it is usually at Starbucks.
