. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/7ykb37y . .A volunteer community watch captain who shot an unarmed Florida teenager to death last month had been the subject of complaints by neighbors in his gated community for aggressive tactics, a homeowner said.
.George Zimmerman has not been charged in the Feb. 26 shooting of Trayvon Martin, 17, who was walking home from a convenience store in Sanford, Fla., near Orlando. Zimmerman, who patrolled the Retreat at Twin Lakes development in his own car, had been called aggressive in earlier complaints to the local police and the homeowner's association, according to a homeowner who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
.At an emergency homeowners association meeting on March 1, one man was escorted out because he openly expressed his frustration because he had previously contacted the Sanford Police Department about Zimmerman approaching him and even coming to his home, the resident wrote in an email to HuffPost. It was also made known that there had been several complaints about George Zimmerman and his tactics" in his neighborhood watch captain role.
.Talk of prior complaints against Zimmerman comes as pressure mounts on law enforcement. Protesters have gathered outside Sanford police headquarters. The Martin's family and attorneys have held press conferences calling the killing an outrage and pleading for Zimmermans arrest. High school classmates and citizens are granting interviews to reporters asking why no one has been charged. And as the story continues to gain national media attention, civil rights leaders, including members of the NAACP and the Rev. Al Sharpton, said they are preparing to join the family of Martin, who was black. Zimmerman is white.
.This case is disturbing to say the least, Sharpton told Huffpost. This is appalling, to think that this guy admitted to initiating the conversation and that there was no crime other than the killing of this young man. Yet, [Zimmerman] is walking around with no threat of an arrest.
. Sharpton said he will travel to Florida this week. . snip .Benjamin Crump, the Martin familys attorney, filed a public records lawsuit last week seeking the 911 recordings for the night of the shooting. Crump said people with access to the tapes told him Zimmerman made a comment about Martins race during the call and said he had no intention of letting the youth get away because, they always get away.
.I dont think they have any intention on arresting this white man for killing this black boy, Crump said on Sharptons radio show Monday.
. snip .Arriving police found Martins 140-pound body face-down in a patch of grass less than 100 feet from his familys home. The young man was unarmed, with a few dollars and a pack of Skittles in one pocket and a canned iced tea in the other.
.He was a typical teenager, he loved life, Tracy Martin, the teens father, said. But now, all the family wants is justice.
