The story that a 17 year-old would walk 2 miles in a chilly rain to buy candy for his step-brother is so preposterous on its face that I can't believe it. Perhaps it will be proved to be true, but the best timelines I've seen reported show that Trayvon likely did not walk directly to the store and directly back. Who loiters around, walking between and behind condo/apartment units, off the sidewalk, when running an errand, in the rain?

I recall initial reports saying the girl he was talking to on the phone said he was ducking in and out of the condo buildings to avoid the rain. Haven't heard that fact repeated since then, but if true, would certainly look suspicious to an observer.

Regardless, it has been proved, by his own background, friendships, and activities, that Zimmerman is no racist, so the profiling nonsense goes right out the window, the idea that Martin caught his attention JUST because he was a yong black male. By Zimmerman's own words, it was Martin's behavior that night, innocent or not, that attracted it.

Martin took much longer going to store and back than it would have taken had he walked straight there and straight back. So he was doing...other things...

Read that a few days ago, several places.
