I bet there weren't even 300 units.
Just looked it up - there were 240 units. So 8 burglaries and 9 thefts over the course of a year in a complex that size. I really don't think that is above average.

Remember this was a gated community.

I maybe Black but I don't belong to your ethnic or dysfunctional cultural group (I'm not understanding why Africn Americans are confused by this notion?)

I've long ago distanced myself from an African-American identification and embraced a Ghanaian American identity. I want to be associated with achievers not losers who live in the wealthiest country on the planet but whine about everything.
If you want to be associated with achievers, not losers, behave as such. Haven't seen too much of that on here.

Zimmerman deserves capital punishment.
That makes you NO better than Zimmerman. The man hasent even been charged with a crime and you want the man lynched? Wow

Chill out. Use logic instead of emotion.

It doesn't take much to set them off. They usually destroy their own neighborhoods anyway so who cares?

This is also why there are few Black American finance or STEM professionals.
This is exactly why IQ tests are deemed racist also.

You only need to watch msnbc to see that.

I think we’ve established that it is perfectly legal in Florida, to follow people, claim they are acting suspiciously and then execute them.
I’m sure many people in Florida feel threatened by Block Watch boy, so there are many people trying to hunt him down so they can kill him in self defense.
