During an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on AC360, Taaffe said that a problem could have been avoided if Martin had been “up front and truthful” with Zimmerman.
Taaffe told NBC Miami that there had been eight burglaries within 15 months, which he said set the stage for Zimmerman’s heightened suspicion. He said safety, not race, was Zimmerman’s main concern.
“George is a congenial, admirable person,” he told the news outlet. “He had a passion and care for this neighborhood, to ensure the safety of everybody here.”

I keep thinking of that opening scene in the movie “Crash”, ‘
One of the carjackers complains,
“You couldn’t find a whiter, safer or better lit part of this city. But this white woman sees two black guys who look like UCLA students strolling down the sidewalk and her reaction is blind fear.”
Right before they carjack a white couple.
License to kill not needed, he had feeling and passion, ok I get it.
