Sometimes I am really ashamed to be part of the human race. How on earth can there be so many haters in this world that anyone could get 400 death threats in one minute? We aren’t talking about The Pope or Barack Obama here. We aren’t talking about Mohamed Morsi. We are talking about George Zimmerman’s family. I’m sure most of you had a pretty good idea already. We have seen the idiots posting on Facebook and Twitter. We have seen the chaos, riots and protests. But I must admit that I was shocked to learn the number.
Robert Zimmerman (George’s brother) broke his silence on Friday.
The Daily Mail reports:
George Zimmerman’s brother today revealed their family receive as many as 400 death threats a minute on social media sites and said he almost got beaten up by two Starbucks’ employees.
Three weeks after his brother was acquitted of all charges relating to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, Robert Zimmerman reveals for the first time the psychological impact it has had on the family – who live under constant fear and have to keep in touch 24/7.
‘No one has really asked us to get into the psychological aspect of this,’ he said. ‘You don’t know if someone stops you in public and says, “excuse me sir”, you don’t know if you dropped your wallet or if someone recognizes you and wants to kill you.
‘I think the whole ordeal has taught us to rely on one another. But it taxes everyone’s mind, knowing you have to stay in touch and in constant communication because of the threats.’
