SANFORD, FLA. — George
Zimmerman once took criminal justice classes at the community college
and was practically a one-man neighborhood watch in his gated part of
town, calling police close to 50 times over the past eight years to
report such things as slow-driving vehicles, strangers loitering in the

neighborhood, or a wannabe cop who tried to take justice into his own
hands.

racial profiling since he shot and killed an unarmed black teenager who
was walking through his neighborhood Feb. 26 carrying only a bag of
Skittles and an iced tea. READ MORE
