Zimmerman's brother claims family gets 400 death threats a MINUTE and that a Starbucks employee told him 'they'd beat the s*** out of him'

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 some one 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.

Trayvon supporters: Social media sites pump put as many as 400 death threats a minute directed to the Zimmerman family

Their side: Gladys and Robert Zimmerman spoke out for the first time in an interview taped on Monday, saying that they fear for their son's life

'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.'

He told Breitbart about a time when his phone died as he was sleeping when the family got really worried and started looking for him.

After the verdict things got worse for them but their focus is to support each other and 'doing everything to keep each other alive'.

The Zimmermans have to monitor social media to see if there are any rallies or protests organized to determine if it is safe for them to leave the house.

'We have to monitor social media and the internet to see if there are any rallies nearby that pose a specific threat and we avoid them,' he said.



'The death threats usually come on social media, some are emailed. There’s a lot of "you better watch your back, I know where u are, I’m going to get you".

'Social media is a lot more bold. "I’m in Florida, I’m going to find you, I’m going to kill you, get you, we know where you are, etc." and "Say hi to Trayvon Martin when I kill you".



'He said some of them allude to Trayvon Martin, but most of them do not.'

Zimmerman said the threats sometimes average 400 per minute.

Speaking about a time he was threatened in a Starbucks in Washington DC, he explains: 'Someone thought I was George Zimmerman. I said, no, George is in jail. They started saying, "we know you’re Zimmerman; it’s right here on the receipt..."



'They pulled out their phones and started texting people and calling people. Someone finally noticed the receipt said Robert instead of George, or R instead of G, and they said "Oh, it’s not George Zimmerman" and they all calmed down.



'Someone then said "Yeah, but you look like that Mother f***er and if you were anyone of the Zimmerman’s we were going to take you outside and beat the sh*t out of you." They were both Starbucks employees.



Armed: George Zimmerman was pulled over on the road in Forney, Texas and it was revealed that he had a gun in a glovebox

Zimmerman said the support has been deeply appreciated: 'The support has been overwhelming. The encouragement and prayers mean a lot.

'The people who are most supportive realize this is more than just about George or one case in Florida, but there are many ramifications for everyone in this situation.'



'There’s a psychological toll for living in isolation for as long as we have. I’m not sure how to learn to trust or interact with people or how to break out of that.

'My concern is that there will never be a return to normal. At best, there will be a new normal, but that will always be plagued by concern over everyone we encounter.'



Dash-cam footage emerged this week showing the moment George Zimmerman was pulled over by a police officer in Texas for speeding and told them he was carrying a gun.



Just over two weeks since his dramatic acquittal for the murder of Trayvon Martin, 17, Zimmerman was issued the warning on Sunday in Forney, Texas, just 25 miles from Dallas .



The latest traffic incident came a week-and-a-half after Zimmerman rescued a family-of-four from their upturned SUV over a thousand miles away in Florida, near where he shot Martin dead.

CBS Dallas Fort Worth have claimed that the officer did not recognize Zimmerman, who has been at the center of a nationwide controversy since he was found not guilty of the second-degree murder and manslaughter of Trayvon Martin earlier this month.

Indeed, Zimmerman is even reported to have asked the officer if he knew his face from television and the officer again told the one-time Florida neighborhood watch captain that he did not.

While being questioned by the officer, Zimmerman, who was driving a 2008 Honda pick-up with Florida plates, told the officer that he was armed and was instructed to keep the gun in the car's glove-compartment.



The officer issued Zimmerman a warning for speeding and then sent him on his way - but not before asking him where he was going, to which he replied 'nowhere in particular'.

'Nowhere in particular, why is that?' responded the officer according to In Forney.com

'You didn’t see my name?' said Zimmerman. The officer then responded, 'wow, what a coincidence.'

“Nowhere in particular, why is that?” responded the officer. “You didn’t see my name?” said Zimmerman. The officer then responded, “wow, what a coincidence.” - See more at: http://www.inforney.com/home/local-news/item/1182#sthash.E0GtB5sz.dpuf
