One thing many people are forgetting is Zimmerman was appointed to be a Neighborhood Watchman for his housing complex. Zimmerman was doing his volunteer job when he went to investigate a stranger walking around his housing complex, and then he was attacked.
And the woman that started the watch group is BLACK and testified for Zimmerman.

Even “conservatives” are buying this push that we must depend on the police for our safety and not ourselves and each other. Our neighborhood watch program was trained by police (10 years ago) to follow a stranger to the neighborhood either to his destination (locally) or out of the neighborhood. And it worked - drunks got home quicker, drug drops decreased, and all 200 families in the subdivision felt a little safer.
Now what? Call the police and hide - is that how we manage vagrants and stalkers alike? Neighborhood watch programs work - but they don’t suit the Big Brother dependence mentality.
