I used to live in a gated community. It waz gated to keep out the riff-raff and criminals in the surrounding neighborhood. It cost us an extra 2,000 dollars a year to live there, but it was worth it. And yes many expensive homes were there.
Yes absolutely there is a connotation in “gated community” that goes well beyond the simple denotation of the two words. It wasn’t necessary for the news media to mention it in the Zimmerman case except they wanted to impose a narrative on the reader.

Like constant pictures of a 12 year old Trayvon?
