Although caution is in order, I do not expect a Zimmerman acquittal to generate significant race incidents in the central Florida area. Disney and the area around it are heavily commercial, with a variety of residential apartments, condos, and upscale suburbs that lack a substantial population of volatile ghetto Blacks. Orlando proper and Sanford are another matter though, and have numerous established Black neighborhoods with a high rate of poverty and crime. The areas west and southwest of the central part of Orlando are especially risky and should be avoided.

I posted this on the other thread but my son who is 18 now, plays summer baseball for college players and their home stadium is in Sanford.

You have to drive about a mile (25MPH speed limit) through a pretty rough neighborhood off of 17-92 before you get to the the stadium. Sketchy for sure, though I’ve never openly witnessed a drug deal or hooker (usually its during the afternoon).

I have concerns, he’s a big mean kid if it’s 1-on-1 but if people are turning over cars and stuff, he’ll have to get out of there. 6’3” 215, strong as a bull with MMA training, but that’s no match for a gang of thugs. I have no weapon he can carry and no money to buy anything right now either.
