The bothersome part, however, is the report that Zimmerman made something like 160 calls to 911 since the first of the year; if true, he was really on a mission.
Not what I heard, I heard this report was phony, that the number of calls was less than what you stated and over a period of several years (more than two)... of course not many news outlets have been willing to to give us straight facts or all the facts. The story has been wildly biased and un-objective. Hard for me to know what to think, except that I have my own filter that I see the world through, which I’ll admit can be biased... yet I yearn for truth.
So much bad information out there. The Daily Beast says 46 over 7+ years, 6 in recent weeks. Don’t know what to believe.
Ern, I wonder about that statistic.
The shooting was on Feb. 26th, which is only 57 days into the year. Three calls a day seems high to me, and he would have had a talking to by the authorities for excessive calls to 911.
Maybe the number is off; but if the number is somewhat lower, that would be an indication that there were crime problems out there in that community.
Also in Florida without an arrest, the family cannot sue in Civil Court. The arrest = probable cause even if found innocent in criminal court.
Politics as usual and the racecard played with skill.
That's obviously an absurd number. Where did you see it?
The correct number is 46 calls since 2004. You can read the summaries of them in this police PDF (which Wagist helpfully saved before Sanford, FL took it down, apparently at the behest of Corey).
