Why did a kid walking home from the convenience store look 'suspicious?

I see kids doing this all the time and i'd never think that they looked suspicious?

what was it about treyvon that looked 'suspicious"

was it his skin color.. if not what was it?

the bottom line is a kid died because he bought skittles, and yet there is no one arrested.

I can't believe some people see this ANY differently.

yeah especially when you have a gun

Oh good lord BURGLARY TOOLS.

I am handy with tools. Friends and family often ask me to fix things for them. I carry a leatherman and screwdriver with multiple bits in my purse. I guess that makes me suspicious.

Now go look again at the reports on Trayvon, who wanted to be an engineer and liked to fix things. It seems to me that the very same people who would get their panties in a wad over a child getting suspended from school for carrying a boy scout knife are the first to assume that Trayvon MUST be a burgler if he is carrying a screwdriver.

Anyone remember this one?
OMG HE WAS SUSPENDED FROM SCHOOL HE MUST BE A CROOK.

I'll call racism on this one. I don't normally pull the race card but I don't see another explanation.

So the school is racist or the media?

He was suspended the week prior to the shooting.

My point is this....When the MSM wants to sensitize and issue and start with the narrative so people can engineer widespread outrage....this is what happens...

Stuff will get dug up. And honestly, it's good. There has been nothing but irresponsible reporting and coverage of this incident. It's just as bad as the irresponsible police work. That is the point that is getting lost on this country.
Not always, it depends on how much he smoked on a regular basis, if he was an occasional user, it is quite possible for him to test negetive, especially if he had very little body fat.

OK.
Last I checked, Zimmerman was not a police officer. Or do you believe the police and everyday citizens should have equal powers?

A child was shot to death. Why weren't these witnesses brought in for questioning?

So you are refuting the fact that a 28 year old MAN shot a 17 year old CHILD?
