“The neighbors have a psychological bias toward it being Zimmerman as the bad guy”

Wrong.

Abadee Abadee you’re loony tunes.

It’s all about a common fear whites have of confronting an African American who is in the act of committing a violent act in public, whether the victim is the neighborhood watch, a kid on a bike, or an elderly person.

It’s just plain cowardice, and fear of being perceived as “racist” if they touch or confront the perp.

Fear.

Fear of being a victim themselves. Fear of being a witness.

Fear of a approaching a personality type who will KILL you if you look at them wrong or they think you have “dissed” them in some way.

Stay vigilant folks, these are dangerous times.

You missed the point.

It is human nature for people to rationalize circumstances in order to place their actions (or non-actions) in a better light and feel better about themselves.

Let’s consider two situations.

In scenario A, there is a nut with a gun walking around outside their homes shooting down young boys like a dog for no reason at all, or because he doesn’t like their skin color.

This is the narrative painted by the media and the race hustlers and the state attorney.

Obviously, no one should feel guilty for not going outside in response to cries of help to face down a gunman randomly or racistly gunning people down. In fact, they should move their families away from the windows to avoid possible random shots.

In scenario B, an unarmed teenager jumps on the neighborhood watch guy who asks him what he is doing in the neighborhood and starts wailing on the guy.

In this case, if someone responds to the cries for help and comes out and pulls the teen off of the neighborhood watch guy, at that point the teen probably takes off running (seeing two against one) and in any event not wanting to wait around for any cops.

And if no one helps the neighborhood watch guy even though his pathetic cries for help go on minute after minute? Maybe he suffers brain damage or even dies.

The people who cowered in their homes would feel like crap in scenario B. Just one guy willing to pull the teen off of him would have prevented brain damage or death.

In fact, what we had was scenario B EXCEPT with the neighborhood watch guy armed with a gun. So when the teen kept bashing his head and no neighbor came to help, he had to rely on self-defense.

For the neighbors, if they go along with the media’s and the state attorney’s narrative being scenario A, they don’t have to feel like cowards. No one would expect them to reasonably go out and face down a racist gunman shooting down boys in cold blood with a depraved mind.

Scenario B? They ought to feel bad for not helping.
