Still have a problem with the Zimmerman acquittal in the Trayvon Martin killing?
The basic facts still don’t add up to me either.
You’ve got an armed rogue volunteer vigilante obsessed by a racial stereotype of a hoodie-wearing black teen.
Could be a choir boy (he wasn’t, but we don’t know that from looking at him). The teen is armed only with Skittles.
The vigilante, an adult, is told by a dispatcher to walk away and leave it to the professionals.
But the vigilante seeking heroism disobeys. The adult pursues the teenager.
Put yourself in the teenager’s shoes: Some old dude is stalking you. You’re freaked out. You’re visiting from somewhere else and being suspected of some wrongdoing that never has even crossed your mind. Should you have changed the hoodie and put on the Sunday clothes?
