What we can't do is view all young black men as potential criminals, because guess what?---the vast majority are not.
Were you there ? How do you know tm wasn't looking in a window or windows ? Please don't say there weren't any ground floor windows. You simply don't believe Anything gz said.

I see your point.

But what if the burglars or home intruders had been white. Would you then profile every white male who comes through the complex?

Also, in the police documents of interviews with residents of Retreat at Twin Lakes it was mentioned that lots of young black men in particular would cut through the back entrance of Retreat at Twin Lakes. Thirty per cent of Sanford is black. So I don't see that it would have been that unusual to see a black male walking through the complex.

GZ was on the still on the phone & looking for the address for a couple minutes after he lost TM. TM was setting up an ambush as soon as GZ hung up with police. TM's girlfriend could hear GZ talking in the background a couple minutes before the TM attacked GZ. That proves TM was stalking GZ or laying in wait near GZ to ambush him when he hung up.

You know damn well you would have done the same in the same circumstance.

Why do school infractions outweigh arrests and molestation?
They don't. They are pretty much equal in that Trayvon to too young to have an official record.. had he been over eighteen when that stuff went down, at the very least he would also have an arrest record.

If he was looking into windows, it was probably the same way anyone at night walking around does that, if that is their inclination. He wasn't a burglar! Why do you keep trying to criminalize him? He was on the phone. He was busy. He went to the store. He had a purpose. There is absolutely nothing to indicate he was scoping out places to rob. It's a fantasy.

How many of them walked slowly through the rain looking into the windows?
