According to his two passport applications, George Zimmerman was 5'10".
George Zimmerman was not asked by his neighbors to start the neighborhood watch. According to Witness 21, the president of the homeowners' association, George was organizing the neighborhood watch on his own. He said he met George Zimmerman in September of 2011 because he was getting calls about Zimmerman going around trying to get residents’ signatures to start the crime watch program.
A distinction with very little difference, as apparently Mr. Z was succeeding in getting the petitions signed. Unless he was bullying the neighbors to get the signatures, that ought to count as legitimate requests.
At any rate, anyone would have been justified in wanting a watch in that rough neighborhood with its history of burglaries.
And you know that how?? How many of his neighbors did you ask??? I'll bet everyone of those dozens of people that had been burglarized asked if someone would do it and he volunteered. And no one complained because they didn't want the job.

You misunderstand the phrase "on his own". It means that he was doing the legwork. GZ was taking the lead as committee chairman. Who else was on the committee??? How many signatures on the petition???And this neighborhood watch program was set up with the cooperation of the Sanford Police Department.
He said he met George Zimmerman in September of 2011 because he was getting calls about Zimmerman going around trying to get residents’ signatures to start the crime watch program.
And he said that there were no complaints about George Zimmerman. He said everyone seemed to think he was doing a good job.
You were saying???
Zimmwerman is 5’7” and looks it.
