From [HERE] A week after George Zimmerman rolled out a revamped website, his parents have unveiled their own website, detailing in voluminous detail the upheaval and death threats suffered by three generations of the family after their son, 28, shot and killed Trayvon Martin, 17, on Feb. 26. The younger Zimmerman's website, therealgeorgezimmerman.com, is an open appeal for donations to help pay for his legal fees, security and living expenses, and a forum to try to offer an unfiltered account of who George Zimmerman is.
The parents' site, called robertandgladys.com aims to counter the way their son has been "savagely portrayed in the media," and has a tab asking for contributions to their "greatly increased living expenses." What follows is a painstaking detailed history of the family -- from Robert and Gladys Zimmerman's courtship in the late 1970s to the frenzied days after the shooting. In his missive, Robert Zimmerman describes a barrage of threatening calls, the media "beating down our door" and death threats.
The worst came, he writes, after Rosanne Barr published the family's address and phone numbers.
"Almost immediately, threatening phone calls and letters were received," he writes. "However, one in particular was alarming because it threatened to kill anyone with George's DNA -- it was not mailed, but was left at our front door." (why don't they call the police?)
