Robertt Zimmerman reveals family get 400 threats a MINUTE on social media....
The London Daily Mail ^ | August 2, 2013 | James Nye and Rachel Quigley

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)

SHUT DOWN YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGE AND DON’T BOTHER TO EVEN LOOK.

It’s such a waste of time...

Twitter was invented for the rousing of virtual mobs IMO

Not advocating anything illegal, but I think it’s past high time for everyone who has had a bellyful of this crap from the hyphenated segment of our population to get organized.

Wow. Imagine how busy FBI agents are as they investigate all these threats.

This can’t be accurate. Liberals and the media have been telling me my whole life that Liberals and black people are open-minded, tolerant, and peaceful. There must be some sort of mistake.

I think this is a record-breaker. Previously, Sarah Palin and her own kids and family were reportedly on the receiving end of 100,000 death-threats within a week or so after the media deliberately trumpeted that she was somehow personally ‘complicit’ in the Tucson mass-murders, stoking up the fires of hatred.

Didn’t think that could be beaten, but I think Zimmerman and his family have managed to have that distinction bestowed upon them. Same vile media doing its dirty work, too.

Once again, “peaceful” and “tolerant” mean different things to liberals.

And people didn’t think Obozo could unify the races.

Meanwhile Trayvon’s parents want to take away the Zimmerman family’s ability to defend itself against these threats:

Starsucks?! I’d rather quit coffee than drink that swill, especially knowing what the company and many of their employees stand for!

He’s looking at the pages of other people and the usual rabble-rouser organizations, if I’m reading the excerpt correctly.

Right and blacks are so sympathetic to being targeted.
