Neighborhood Watch is a federally funded project:

Neighborhood Watch is undoubtedly one of the oldest and most well-known crime prevention programs in history. While the modern day concept of program rose to prominence in the late 1960s in response to an increasing burglary rate...

The modern version of the Neighborhood Watch-USAonWatch Program was developed as a result of the multiple requests from sheriffs and police chiefs around the country who were looking for a crime prevention program that would incorporate citizen involvement and address the increasing number of burglaries taking place, especially in rural and suburban areas. In 1972, the National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) took the concept a step further by seeking funding to make the program a national initiative...

Always appreciate a reminder of what a great thing it was to escape NYS. I see the morons in Albany continue to work hard doing the State’s business...

How about this: If those guys were walking through my neighborhood wearing the hoods, they would be suspicious. Not because of their skin color (that has no bearing), but because they would be strangers on private street hiding their identity. I would approach them, out of doing what neighbors are supposed to do - look after each others homes and property. In fact, that’s what we do in my neighborhood - it’s kind of expected. If they didn’t understand that, I’d explain it. If I wasn’t confident about their intentions, I’d call the Police and other neighbors. If they chose to fight with me, it wouldn’t end well. It would not. End well.

I'd say that the New Black Panther Party that put out a poster with a bounty on Zimmerman's head is more in line with the vigilante term.

I hope when this is all over, Zimmerman will sue the asses off these race baiters.

Ya think they call each other the night before and asked what they are wearing tomorrow. Unprofessional and childish to the max.

“Vigilante” in Spanish simply means “watchman,” which is what Zimmerman was.

I don’t think the HOA should have allowed armed watchmen,precisely because there is such a possibility of things like this happening.

But that would be, at worst, civil negligence, or negligent homicide or manslaughter - and not criminal homicide, which is the charge they want against Zimmerman.

Also, the “hate crime” stuff, which is ridiculous anyway since apparently only one group is protected by it, shouldn’t even be considered here, because Zimmerman would have fixed on any teenager in a hoodie giving a close look to the houses. Many of our hoodie-wearing thugs in Florida are white, although they are usually busy holding up the 7-11 or the local pharmacist in order to get OxyContin and don’t bother with residential burglaries...

You prefer fractured skulls and dead watchmen?

Everybody probably knows this as well as I. The word ‘vigilante’ is Spanish for guard or watchman, someone who is vigilant. Looks like that might include you :-)
Good job.

Good questions. I'd like to know if there is verification that Martin actually visited a store during the time he was out? Do they have him on video, or has any store clerk identified him and his purchase? Did they recover Skittles and iced tea at the scene of the shooting? Since his death wasn't of natural causes, what were the findings of the blood work that had to be done. Did he have drugs in his system or in his possession? Since the police are still in possession of Zimmerman's gun, did they find any other fingerprints on it? Did they find any of Zimmerman's blood/DNA on Martin or under his nails?

The kid was shot on February 26th. This mess didn't go national until sometime in mid March. Can't say who initially started turning it into a racial thing, but we know that Jackson and Sharpton have been involved more recently. The state attorney decided that there wasn't enough evidence to get a conviction of Zimmerman, and that should have been the end of the case, but somebody's flaming the fires of racism to create a national issue. I've read that the Justice Dept. is having the FBI investigate. I wonder how long that's going to take.

You know, those armless black zombies withotu arms and chains around their necks look kind of like slaves to me.

The person under the hood is a black female, and considering that african blacks were sold into slavery by their own people, I’d say this image is kind of controversial.

Zimmerman had returned to the development from an errand. He was not acting as a member of the Neighborhood Watch. He had a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

PARKS: No. He said he was walking down the street. That's what he said.

No, he said "This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about."

Then he added, "He's here now and he’s just staring…looking at all the houses."

And lest we forget, he also said that Martin was "staring at me now" and "coming to check me out."

So, no, he never said Martin was just walking down the street. He said he looked like he was up to no good, and he also described an initial reaction by Martin which certainly exhibited no fear of Zimmerman.

A few minutes ago on the national NBC evening news, they dragged out the 2005 booking picture and reported how he resisted arrest and struggled with the officer. Then there was the report on spousal abuse. It’s fair to report this IF they did the same for Martin. I thought for a moment that as they were saying that despite these incidents that he was still allowed a gun permit but then they were back to their usual games saying if he had been arrested on the previous and sentenced to the max that he wouldn’t have been allowed to carry and a poor widdle black kiddie wouldn’t have been killed by this big meanie.

Does anyone know how long it had been raining and how hard? Why would anyone go out in the rain and walk two miles to get candy and then walk two miles back to the house? Just another thing that Martin was doing that doesn’t add up.
