It would be interesting to see if the level of crime in the neighborhood dropped after Trayvon got put down.

Yes, interesting angle. Some reporter ought to do a little follow-up reporting on the impact of the shooting on the neighborhood.

But a follow-up story like that would take work and wouldn’t fit the narrative.

According to the link below, there were 3 reported crimes in the month prior to the shooting but just 3 reported crimes in the 5 months since. Smells like there has been a huge drop in crime.
