Why Was Trayvon Martin Shot And Killed By George Zimmerman? **According to Chris Tutko, the director of the National Neighborhood Watch program Zimmerman was not part of a registered neighborhood watch program. . . Not to mention that he wasn't an official neighborhood watch person but a self-appointed neighborhood watch person who broke all the rules about what a neighborhood watch person should and shouldn't do.

**“The alleged action of a ‘self-appointed neighborhood watchman’ last month in Sanford, FL significantly contradicts the principles of the Neighborhood Watch Program,” NSA Executive Director Aaron D. Kennard, Sheriff (ret.) said in the press statement. “NSA has no information indicating the community where the incident occurred has ever even registered with the NSA Neighborhood Watch program.”
Plus much, much more on Google.
Those links all claim the same thing you are claiming, show me where George Zimmerman appointed himself the captain of the neighborhood watch program. All you've done is proven that there was no official "neighborhood watch" program in the community.
1. Zimmerman appointed himself NW captain; some of the neighbors didn't even want him.
2. He called 911/police numerous times, and the frequency of the calls was escalating. The calls include on of "Children running and playing in the street". 46 Calls - The Daily Beast
Oh, for God's sake. Read the article:
Sanford Police Department has posted reports of 46 911 and nonemergency calls it says Zimmerman made between August 2004 and Martin’s shooting.
Over an 8 year span, that between 5 and 6 calls per year.
Good God!
From what I understand, it's not exactly an upscale complex. And if kids are playing in traffic, a call to 911 seems appropriate. Of course if kids were getting hit by cars and killed, the numbnuts would screech that Zimm wasn't making enough 911 calls.

People who you end up having to shoot because they're on top of you beating your head into the ground to the point where you're fearful for your life.
Oh! You mean the ones you stalk for no other reason than they are black and wearing a hoody and walking through a neighborhood they have every right to be in and who defend themselves from some armed stranger?
Again, Trayvon could very well have felt HIS life was in danger.
And the "beating your head into the ground" is an extreme overstatement of the actual injuries Zimmerman incurred that night - injuries that didn't even require a trip to the hospital.

Heh. Looks like you beat me to it.
I'd be curious how many times the posters on C-D have called 911 over the last 8 years.

Kat showed you repeatedly that Zimmerman wasn't an official Neighborhood Watch member; that report is so consistent because it's true. Perhaps you could provide a link proving otherwise.

“In no program that I have ever heard of does someone patrol with a gun in their pocket,” Carmen Caldwell, the Executive Director of Citizens’ Crime Watch of Miami-Dade, told theGrio. “Every city and municipality has their own policies. Here in Miami-Dade we train people only to be the eyes and ears of their communities. Not to follow and most definitely not to carry a weapon.”
Despite this, Zimmerman admitted that he had fired a weapon on the night of the incident. In addition, the non-emergency call Zimmerman placed on February 26 before the shooting revealed he had been pursuing Martin by car before accosting the youth on foot — all direct violations of Neighborhood Watch policies.[end quote]

Neither can I remember when I last called 911. That was my first thought.
Explain?
