You know, this is a really good point that I don’t think has ever been addressed.
I live in Queens New York city across the street from a Duane Reade drug store that is VERY easy to rip off, and every so often when I walk to work and pass it, I hear the “beep” of someone passing through the detector which means they just ripped off something.
And the people who work there just do not care. So what happens, is the person who just shoplifted walks out (99 times out of 100 it is a black woman) and I follow them. Not because I am Mr. Cop wannabe, but because that is the way I walk to work.
And I cannot tell you how many times they look behind their back while walking. I have it down to a science...Every 10 seconds....Walk walk...look behind....walk walk...look behind. (How many times do you look behind you when walking in broad daylight?) And some of them will stop thinking I’m following them but I just keep walking.
That’s exacly what happened here. Trayvon got paranoid, saw the “rent a cop” get on the phone, then he tried to do a “one punch” on Zimmerman which is a gangsta macho fad to see if you can knock out someone with one punch.
Only Zimmerman didn’t get knocked out and you can take it from there.
