True.
This was two years before the robbery wave in his neighborhood.
But I'm being told by multiple sources that Zimmerman was a racist stalker, a "white Hispanic" who spent his time chasing black people around and got a gun because it made him feel like a big man and he was dying to have an excuse to shoot somebody.
If Zimmerman hadn't had a gun and his brains had ended up on the sidewalk, it wouldn't have even made local news.
