From the very moment he spotted Martin, Zimmerman took action based on a faulty, fatal premise–that the young man in the hoodie was a danger, a threat to him and to his neighbors.

Sooooo....what was the crime rate in Zimmerman's neighborhood before Martin was killed and what is it afterward?

Very good question...but don’t hold your breath waiting for an answer.

We’re always lectured by liberals about “profiling”. But what is one supposed to think, if a disproportionate amount of crime is committed by certain types of people?

Is it prejudicial to be suspicious of young black men in hoodies, especially if they have a “gang persona” about them, when unfortunately, disproportionate numbers of such young men commit so many crimes?

I think Trayvon initiated the deadly physical confrontation. Probably because, in ghetto culture, the worst thing you can do to someone is “diss” or disrespect them. Trayvon felt dissed, and in ghetto culture, dissing is responded to with violence.

Arguably, ghetto attitudes are why Trayvon died. Even if he was being followed, if he had gone right home, nothing ever would have happened.
