Lets see if you can read my post without moving your lips.
Pay attention to the bolded part below.
I am referring to the community that Trayvon was shot in.
Is that too hard to figure out?

Lets see, where does the Sentinel report on?
Orlando.
Where is Sanford?
Its a community in the greater Orlando area.
This aint rocket science.

Black Neighbor of Zimmerman: "There were black boys robbing houses in this neighborhood,"


If this is true, I expect that police reports detailing these robberies will be presented at the trial, as the Defense presents reasons why Zimmerman did what he did.

Also note the racial intimidation Sharpton has helped to put into place. A Black woman scared to be identified for speaking the truth because of the backlash she anticipates.
I've paid little attention to the Martin/Zimmerman affair but I have been aware since early on of reports of robberies - as the lady reported - in the neighborhood.

That none are reported in the local news is not a function of patrolling a neighborhood, more a failure of responsible news reporting.

It means you cannot be eliminated from being a suspect based upon the description, kinda like if I was wearing a blue shirt if the suspect was wearing a blue shirt. Get it? Not turning blue holding my breath waiting for you to get it.

In a large Metro area the papers are not going to report on any burglary or attempted burglary in the news. I've not seen that in a local paper in years. It's not even news any more when a home gets broken into.

Your search is not reliable.

I take it you have never read the Sentinel.
Your post is not reliable.

kshe95girl is full of it. The Miami Herald said as much about the burglaries a month ago. We discussed the burglaries in prior threads. Although the Herald article was devoid of the race of the suspects. For some reason this hasn't been widely played out in the national media just local papers. So this is why you may have come across this the first time.

So Zimmerman stalked him because he was black teen.

I couldn't find any incidents of " blacks robbing people" but there were a half dozen burglaries in the area in the few months prior as well as some acts of vandalism. I linked it with crime mapping in Sanford. December seemed to be the active month.
