I’d be careful about the vigilante remarks, but watching? Nothing wrong with watching. And despite what anyone says, I feel certain that your average white person can tell the difference between a black guy jogging down the street listening to music in the morning, or a black student with a backpack diddling with his phone on his way home from school at 4pm... and a group of kids in sagging pants cruising along at 11pm, looking around furtively and clearly up to no good.
The guy with the backpack is doing the burglaries during the day.
