walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[HairOfTheDog]

I am gettin a little off topic here but, After reading back through some of the posts in this thread and seeing all the call the cops comments I am left wondering how many people would get involved should they see someone fucking with a neighbors home, auto etc. I came from the school of, ya see someone breaking into the neighbors shit you have someone else in the house make the call and you go over and pull the little fucker out of the neighbors window and teach him a lesson until the cops show up. Am I the only one here that feels that way?

I would probably try to scare the person off and call police.

However, Trayvon was not breaking into anyone's home. He was walking in the complex where he was staying, at night, in the rain, with a hoodie on. He was not in the commission of a crime.

Zimmerman reported Trayvon as suspicious because he didn't recognize him and there had been break-ins in the area recently; some of those culprits had gotten away. Zimmerman did not report or follow Trayvon because Trayvon was doing anything illegal, just that he found him suspicious.
