I'm in a SFH, but I rarely hear outside noise unless it's extremely loud (plane flying overhead ). Unless I have windows up (which I rarely do), I probably wouldn't hear anyone screaming on my front porch, let alone on the street. Too much inside noise going on (kids, TV, etc).

Several people called 911 because they heard the cries for help. So why didn't anyone go out to help, or at least look out the window and see what's going on?

Default Main Stream Media Editing: Creates a racial war

"This guy looks like he's up to no good ... he looks black," Zimmerman said in the edited segment.
That, it turns out, appears to be only part of the exchange that took place on the night of February 26. The complete exchange went like this:
Zimmerman: "This guy looks like he's up to no good. Or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about."
Dispatcher: "OK, and this guy -- is he black, white or Hispanic?"
Zimmerman: "He looks black."

Do you have one?

Also consider that:
If Trayvon is in front Zimmerman (walking away), it would not be possible for him to run past him in order to hide as Zimmerman walked towards him.

@ChocLot, I saw footage of the area on the news; Zimmerman and Martin were at the rear of the townhouses, with very little room to hide; there are small patches of grass broken by sidewalks. Again, if Zimmerman lives there and had been patroling for months, why did he need to exit his vehicle and follow Trayvon to determine a more specific address, particularly when he knew the police were coming? It doesn't make sense.

According to that picture in #1620, there are no lights in that area. What any eyewitness could see would be severely compromised on a dark and rainy night.

We had this discussion earlier; it's called the "Bystander Effect."

That pinhead was playing cops and thought he had a robber in his sights. I don't buy his story about Trayvon sneaking him for a minute.

"Arbiter" of justice. And fortunately the FBI will figure it out, and you are not judge or jury, nor a mediator to tell others they are incorrect either.

Maybe people saw Zimmerman, after all he was the known neighborhood watch person, and chose not to get involved in anything he was involved in.

There is a racial war? Maybe for you, not for me.

Sieg Heil!!!
