Yes, it think the calls would be relevant to his mindset. (paranoid, racist, delusions of authority)

Okay and was this guy ever part of a neighborhood watch? I wouldn't want him watching mine!

I watched the jury selection yesterday. When asked if she had formed an opinion about the case, one potential juror (I believe she works for one of FL's newspapers) said she was surprised that (Zimmerman's) neighborhood watch was so active. When asked why, she said that she found it strange that someone would be on site watching the area, that she thought of neighborhood watch as neighbors just reporting anything they might have seen.

The camera was already on Zimmerman & his eyes twitched, then he looked down at the table. Priceless.

What also should be viewed is if there is a record that the suspicion was justified or not. Were there burglaries shortly there afterward?

How often can he say "see? i told you so!"

Burglaries are the sort of a crime that one can often commit many times before being caught. But usually reported.
