i know all of the people who live in my immediate vicinity. if i see someone who isn't a neighbor, i take note. do i grab a gun? no. do i follow? no. should i? no. if they commit an overt act i would call the police and take note of what they look like, their car, what they're wearing, perhaps get a plate number if i can. but i sure wouldn't take it upon myself to judge, based on someone walking, whether they are up to no good. nor would i go after them. that is no longer defense, that's offense.

boy, you'd think a person as skilled at neighborhood watch as zimmerman would know that martin was a guest of a resident of his village. his 'village' is not his home, not his property.

I think Zimmerman was quite skilled at neighborhood watch. He thought Martin looked suspicious. Was he right?:

"In October, a school police investigator said he saw Trayvon on the school surveillance camera in an unauthorized area “hiding and being suspicious.” Then he said he saw Trayvon mark up a door with “W.T.F” — an acronym for “what the f—.” The officer said he found Trayvon the next day and went through his book bag in search of the graffiti marker.

Instead the officer reported he found women’s jewelry and a screwdriver that he described as a “burglary tool,” according to a Miami-Dade Schools Police report obtained by The Miami Herald. Word of the incident came as the family’s lawyer acknowledged that the boy was suspended in February for getting caught with an empty bag with traces of marijuana, which he called “irrelevant” and an attempt to demonize a victim.

Trayvon’s backpack contained 12 pieces of jewelry, in addition to a watch and a large flathead screwdriver, according to the report, which described silver wedding bands and earrings with diamonds."

I'm sure the jewelry belonged to Trayvon. It definitely wasn't stolen. LOL. (He admitted it wasn't his but wouldn't say where he got it.)

It is a joke that you guys want to vilify Zimmerman and portray Martin as a model citizen. Here is a little more on Martin:
