Black kid = crime.
Zimmerman felt empowered by his imagination.
It might be a little more complicated than that, but I think you may be in the right ballpark.
Its probably a little more like, Strange black kid, wandering around at night, in the rain, in a area where there have ben burglaries, = crime.
Had I ben in Z's shoes I am sure I would have kept a eye on him also. Would I have followed him that long on foot, probably not. Would I have introduced myself as neighborhood watch capt if I made contact with T, Hell Yes. Would I have capped his ass had he attacked me, I cant say for sure but its very possible.
The crime stats have been grossly exaggerated. Most residents had no idea. And, I just cannot imagine seeing a black kid walking down the street in front of my home and me feeling threatened.
Regardless. NW should not be armed. George was taught better. he even stated that his own father chastised him for not listening. What a dumbass.
Zimmerman was trained in the ways of NW. He knew better. Dumbass. And he was not an NRA gun nut, but his best buddy, Osterman may have been. His mentor maybe?
