I still do not think this was a racial incident. My neighborhood is a no outlet, newer construction subdivision with pretty expensive homes. It's small enough to know which kids live where. One night around 1:30am in the morning I saw 5 teens walking down my street with black hoods up. I didn't recognize any of them so I knew they were up to something, especially when one saw me looking out my window and they all stopped. They were all white. I didn't give a shit WHAT color they were, I called the cops and while I was on the phone with them, I heard some kind of gun- paintball or BB (they shot at a house 2 houses down). They didn't arrest them so I don't know what they were doing. Point of the story, if you're walking through a neighborhood you shouldn't be in (like a gated one), with a hood up at night, you ARE going to look suspicious. Zimmerman disobeying orders to stop following and then fatally shooting the kid is what he needs to be convicted of, not a racially motivated crime.
I know I'll get flamed for this but oh well. There are real hate crimes going on out there that Americans should focus on. His parents and the media are what deemed this a hate crime. It was just some guy playing cop and thinking he was a hero.

What the hell does any of this have to do with the Trayvon Martin case? Please keep your commentary to that which is relevant.
