Question: HOW MANY BREAKINS Has There Been In THE RETREAT AT TWIN LAKES Since Trayvon Martin ?

July 16, 2013

[Yosemitest]

I'm serious!
HOW MANY BREAK-INS has there been in "THE RETREAT AT TWIN LAKES" 260-unit gated town-home community in Sanford, Florida, since Trayvon Martin died?

We know this from the Shooting of Trayvon Martin:

The Retreat at Twin Lakes is a 260-unit gated townhome community in Sanford, Florida.^[59][60] The population in the development at the time of the shooting, was about 49% non-Hispanic white, 23% Hispanic (of any race), 20% black, and 5% Asian, according to Census figures.^[47] Both George Zimmerman and Tracy Martin's fiancées were renting homes in the development when the shooting occurred.^[23] At the time of the shooting, Martin had been staying with his father's fiancee at The Retreat.^[22]

From January 1, 2011 through February 26, 2012, police were called to The Retreat at Twin Lakes 402 times.^[47] During the 18 months preceding the February 26 shooting, Zimmerman called the non-emergency police line seven times. On five of those calls, Zimmerman reported suspicious looking men in the area, but never offered the men's race without first being asked by the dispatcher.^[61][62][63] Crimes committed at The Retreat in the year prior to Martin's death included eight burglaries, nine thefts, and one shooting.^[64] Twin Lakes residents said there were dozens of reports of attempted break-ins, which had created an atmosphere of fear in their neighborhood.^[32]

In September 2011, the Twin Lakes residents held an organizational meeting to create a neighborhood watch program. Zimmerman was selected by neighbors as the program's coordinator, according to Wendy Dorival, Neighborhood Watch organizer for the Sanford Police Department.^[4][4][65]

Three weeks prior to the shooting, on February 2, 2012, Zimmerman called police to report a young man peering into the windows of an empty Twin Lakes home. Zimmerman was told a police car was on the way and he waited for their arrival. By the time police arrived, the suspect had fled. On February 6, workers witnessed two young black men lingering in the yard of a Twin Lakes resident around the same time her home was burgled. A new laptop and some gold jewelry were stolen. The next day police discovered the stolen laptop in the backpack of a young black man, which led to his arrest. Zimmerman identified this young man as the same person he had spotted peering into windows on February 2.^[32]

Zimmerman had been licensed to carry a firearm since November 2009. In response to Zimmerman's multiple reports regarding a loose pit bull in the Twin Lakes neighborhood, a Seminole County Animal Services officer advised Zimmerman to "get a gun", according to a friend, rather than rely on pepper spray to fend off the pit bull, which on one occasion had cornered his wife.^[32] Although neighborhood watch volunteers are not encouraged to carry weapons, Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee acknowledged that Zimmerman had a legal right to carry his firearm on the night of the shooting.^[47]


We also know that had the situation been handled different by Trayvon Martin, he might still be alive.
For instance, what if it had gone like null and void suggested ?



TRAYVON MARTIN: - Hey, are you following me?

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN: - Ummm, yes.

TRAYVON MARTIN: - May I ask why?

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN: - Well, uh, we've had a number off robberies in this neighborhood lately, and I don't recognize you...

TRAYVON MARTIN: - Oh, well, I'm Travon Martin, I'm spending the summer at my uncle's in unit 12. I expect you'll see a lot of me this summer.

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN: - OK, thanks, good to know. I'm George Zimmerman, by the way.

They shake hands.



TRAYVON MARTIN: - No, thank you for keeping an eye out for your neighbors!


But, NO !
It DID NOT go that way.

Now what do we know that might have prevented this?



5thGenTexan stated to most relevant point

: Don't go for George Zimmerman's handgun.

Alex Murphy added
: Learn to plan ahead. Don't wait until the last minute to buy your Skittles.



Dan from Squirrel Hill's Blog made some excellent suggestions.

Step #1: Don’t pin George Zimmerman down on the ground.

Step #2: Don’t break George Zimmerman’s nose.

Step #3: Don’t give George Zimmerman two black eyes.

Step #4: Don’t repeatedly slam George Zimmerman’s head on the pavement.


But he missed some steps:
-1. Don't get suspended from school for possessing traces of marijuana.

-2. Don't steal 12 pcs of ladies jewelry, and a man’s watch.

-3. Don't keep a flat head screwdriver described as “a burglary tool”, in your backpack.

-4. Don't have a criminal past of theft, hiding and acting suspicious.

-5. Don't encourage ... fellow thugs to commit murder with the tweet, “Plzz shoot da #mf dat lied 2 u!”.



-6. Don't have a police record FOIA Sunlight And More Trayvon Martin Police Records.

-7. Don't have Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin for parents, who didn't discipline their unruly son, when he needed it.
Then they refused to admit to themselves, at each step along the way toward this disaster, that their son, Trayvon Martin, had a real problem and needed professional help!

So I ask again:

HOW MANY BREAK-INS has there been in "THE RETREAT AT TWIN LAKES" 260-unit gated town-home community in Sanford, Florida, since Trayvon Martin died?

I'll bet it's a lot less, even without George Zimmerman patrolling his own community since Trayvon Martin died by acting like the criminal he was!

[Balding_Eagle]

LOL! That is an important question.

My guess is zero.

I don’t think it even occured to Rush to ask this.

I don’t know why, but your question leaves me laughing.

I hope he reads FR and talks about this tommorrow.

Question: HOW MANY BREAKINS

Dis be breakins news.

Fo shizzle.

[Yosemitest]

Ping.

Thank you all for the comments I quoted from.

[ObamahatesPACoal]

On the Opie and Anthony Show they were saying 400 Police calls from 200 houses in a year.

Compton had 23 breakins per 1000 and Sanford had 60 breakins per 1000.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I don’t remember who came up with it but add to the list that if you are on the ground getting pummeled and yelling for help, make sure you include your name. After all of this, that’s somehow important now.

[Mygirlsmom]

Oh, well so far Y-test, up to the present moment, I’ve spotted nearly........ ooh, nearly one.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

The silence from the media on that speaks volumes. If the break ins stayed the same or got worse they would be rubbing our face in it.

[ptsal]

Most of the media keeps talking about Trayvon walking along a public street.... This is a gated community. I'll be a dollar to donut that the street is part of the CC&R's and is really a PRIVATE street. .

.

Only a Florida FREEPER will have the right answer on this one....

[Retired Greyhound]

Trayvon was a troubled youth.

I hope that, despite his bad behavior, that he knew Jesus.

[Gamecock]

-Don’t imitate MMA. Participate in some sort of organized sport offered at your school. Often times these sports will keep one out of trouble just because you are just too tired to go buy Skittles on rainy nights.

[informavoracious]

It would be interesting to know, but GZ did not follow TM because he KNEW he had a history, but just because he acted suspicious. So the coverup of TM’s deeds did not influence GZ because he had no knowledge of them.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Geesh, this is probably the 5th thread asking this I’ve seen just this afternoon+. 2 within 4 threads of each other.

[RC one]

How many of those break ins was the junkie, Trayvon Martin responsible for? That’s the million dollar question.

[Catsrus]

As sad as it is for someone entering eternity, I have serious doubts that he knew Jesus, or he wouldn’t be pounding Zimmerman’s head in the cement.

HOW MANY BREAKINS Has There Been

HOW MANY BREAKINS Have There Been

On Fr some of us, at least, try to avoid ghetto English.

[Revolting cat!]

How many of those break ins was the junkie, Trayvon Martin responsible for?

Since the question was qualified by the phrase "since Trayvon Martin died?", I would guess, but that's only a wild quess, the answer is zero!

[arthurus]

Trayvon Martin, had a real problem and needed professional help!

Are there professional social workers who give ass whuppins to unruly kids? Parents aren't competent to do that?

[McBuff]

Most of the media keeps talking about Trayvon walking along a public street.... This is a gated community. I'll be a dollar to donut that the street is part of the CC&R's and is really a PRIVATE street. .

Plus GZ first sees TM standing on the property of a home that had been burglarized the week before. He was standing in the yard. .in the rain.

Oh. . but wait. . .that would be racist.

[Yosemitest]

Thanks for the correction.
Anger got the better of me.
