George Zimmerman was NOT a Neighborhood Watch captain!

He was not even a Neighborhood Watch volunteer. There was no Neighborhood Watch program in his neighborhood. He was a *self-appointed* vigilante cop-wannabe. http://www.lawofficer.com/article/news/national-sheriff-s-association-0

(Disclaimer, sort of: I have read that this article is from last year. I don't think that's important. It bears repeating that Zimmerman was NOT all he claimed to be, in more ways than one.)

Prosecutors on Tuesday called the former coordinator of the Sanford Police Department's neighborhood watch program who testified how she had worked with Zimmerman to set up a watch program in his neighborhood, The Retreat at Twin Lakes.

But Dorival said she was impressed with Zimmerman's professionalism and dedication to his community and asked him to join another program, Citizens on Patrol, which trained residents to patrol their neighborhoods. He declined.
