And, unless there is other evidence that I haven’t read, he describes him as “this guy”. Not “this black guy”. Since it was dark, raining and TM was wearing a hoodie, I’ve wondered if Zimmerman really knew what race he was. His suspicions were roused because of how the person was acting.
What is curious to me is why the Sanford Police never secured a copy of the 7 Eleven tape even though they knew that Martin had just been down there.
Or maybe they did and tried to cover it up when they saw the “usual suspects” that were in the store with Martin that night — usual suspects that had been burglarizing apartments in the area.
Either way failing to follow up with the usual suspects at the 7 Eleven was suspicious and sloppy.

HA! I think it’s interesting that George described him as “this guy” and the media describe him as a “black” kid and George is accused of profiling. So...it’s OK to profile as long as it is used to “race-bait.

I made a similar id call to police around July 1st, early a.m. with bad lighting ,, teens breaking into cars ,, same scenario , I was no more than 50 feet away and couldn’t give the police race info , just clothing and height... turned out 2 black kids and 1 white kid. GZ saw Trayvon at twilight/sundown , it was late winter and it gets dark quickly.
