George Zimmerman was not asked by his neighbors to start the neighborhood watch.

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.

According to Witness 21, the president of the homeowners' association, George was organizing the neighborhood watch on his own.

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???

Don't patronize me. I didn't misunderstand the phrase "on his own". The president of the homeowners' association knew nothing about George and his petition until the residents started phoning him about it.

Zimmerman was the 'coordinator', the community's liaison to the police department ... he duties included passing out information and flyers to the community, educating block captains, and getting new neighbors involved in the watch. He was supposed to provide the Sanford PD with a list of block captains, but never did.

Maybe your other questions will be answered when Witness 21 takes the stand.

Wendy Dorival said that 25 people attended the initial meeting. That's not a big turnout considering there are 263 residences in the complex.
