I understand that, and I also understand a few other things. 1. He’s dead because something occured between him and Zimmerman, and the details aren’t clear. 2. Police did not arrest him. Stand Your Ground DOES NOT allow for murder. There is a reason he wasn’t and still isn’t. 3. The US media is trying to take advanatge of the lack of details and whip people into race riots. Now I have my own questions I’d like answered. 1. I’ve heard that he went to buy candy. Why was he in a gated community? 2. If he was in a gated community, who let him past the gate? 3. Does he have family in the gated community? 4. His family’s lawyer said he ducked into a condo to take shelter form the rain. Was he trespassing? Did he break in? 5. Why was he wearing a hoody? People in places where they don’t belong wearing hoods arouse suspicion. I have seen black people in my own neighborhood that don’t live here wearing hoods on HOT days, and by God I was suspicious of them. If that makes me a racist then so be it.

1a Obviously. What actually transpired is what is in dispute. I already said what I suspect and time will tell if I am correct or not.

2a This case has absolutely nothing to do with stand your ground although the media and opponents of the legislation would like otherwise. The police have not charged the shooter because there has been no evidence to date to dispute his account of the shooting. The police have made that clear from day one and they have also said if such evidence is uncovered they will charge him. Obviously that is made much harder given the only other witness is now dead.

3A. Agreed. This is to be expected. The "news" is based on their own agenda, as usual and is best ignored or taken with a grain of salt.

1B,2B,3B I believe early finding was that he was there to visit father although not certain of that.

If you see something in your neighborhood that arouses suspicion you can always report it to the police. I wouldn't take it upon myself to challenge the suspicious one or engage him unless someone was at risk of imminent injury. Until we know otherwise, the dead guy had every right to be where he was and we already know the shooter went out of his way, against the request of the 911 operator, ending in a confrontation. My own belief is he actually went out of his way to instigate a confrontation but we shall see. If it turns out he did, that should not sit well with anyone.
