Did Trayvon Shooter Abuse 911? - The Daily Beast
For the most part, the nature of Zimmermans calls make him sound more like a curmudgeon than a vigilante protecting the Retreat at Twin Lakes, the 260-unit gated community where he lived and where he shot Martin.
In November 2006, according to the log, Zimmerman placed a non-911 call to report a late model red Toyota pickup driving around the neighborhood and the apartment complex for several minutes.
In June 2009, he called to report that people were misbehaving in the community-pool area, jumping over the fence and trashing the bathroom.

In October 2010, he called to report a woman in a blue Jeep Grand Cherokee who appeared to be yelling at elderly passengers.
But starting in 2011, Zimmermans calls increasingly focused on what he considered suspicious characters walking around the neighborhoodalmost all of whom were young black males.
On April 22, 2011, Zimmerman called to report a black male about 7-9 years old, four feet tall, with a skinny build and short black hair. There is no indication in the police report of the reason for Zimmermans suspicion of the boy.
On Aug. 3 of last year, Zimmerman reported a black male who he believed was involved in recent burglaries in the neighborhood.
And on Oct. 1 he reported two black male suspects 20-30 years old, in a white Chevrolet Impala. He told police he did not recognize the men or their vehicle and that he was concerned because of the recent burglaries.
