The NYT article had nothing to do with Trayvon I could see. It was mainly about the SC deciding police did not have a duty to “protect you.” Don’t understand your reply to that.
wtf?

excerpt: //Zimmerman: And, I was leaving my neighborhood when I saw this guy, walking slowly in front of a house, looking towards the house. And I knew he didn’t live there, so that made me a little suspicious. And then he kept staring around him, at me, and behind. And it arose my suspicion. And then he was, it was raining. And, he didn’t look like he was in a rush to get out the rain..... //
And that’s not the only drivel he wrote.....”got into a fight AND WAS DOING WELL ENOUGH TO MAKE THE COP FEAR FOR HIS LIFE...” (Paraphrase)
Small technicality; This wasn’t a boxing match following Marquis of Queensbury Rules. It was a street fight initiated by the thug, who’d been seen skulking around a neighborhood that had recently been repeatedly burglarized.
These young thugs desperately need to view the video, “How to Not Get Your Ass Kicked by the Police.”
Inaccurate, as a bald statement of fact.
Martin was walking around at night, in a manner that could reasonably be considered suspicious.
I like to go for walks myself at night, and I suppose my doing so could be considered suspicious.
But that doesn't mean I'm "doing something wrong," only that my behavior might be construed as such.
Now there is a very good chance, IMO, that he really was casing houses for possible burglary, but that's a reasonable assumption, it's not a fact. There are other plausible explanations for his behavior.
