The true facts are that the neighborhood was not under siege by black kids. 8 burglaries in 14-15 months, not all, not even known that the majority, were by black kids.
And even if there were some black kids who had committed burglaries, Trayvon wasn't one of them. No matter what inflammatory words one chooses to use to try to make it ok, the bottom line is that, no, GZ did not have the right to conclude that Trayvon was one of them based on what he looked like and go after him with a loaded weapon.
GZ most certainly had the right to be suspicious and to call police, that's where it ended. He was neither LE or trained security, he was a nobody with no authority except for a title. There is no evidence that Trayvon was doing anything suspicious or illegal that night, nothing criminal, other than what he happened to look like.
Under the law, Trayvon's rights were equal to GZ's that night, not less than but equal to. Trayvon had the right to walk home, he had the right to be in that complex because he was an invited guest of a resident, who was just as important a resident as GZ. Even kids who might happen to look like some who had committed crimes have the same rights to self defense and SYG, even if someone decides to profile them as one of "those" criminals.
The case is far from a slam dunk for the defense, there's still lots of evidence yet to be seen. Nothing proves that Trayvon attacked GZ first.
And crime is all over not just there, what a world it would be if we all decided to just appoint ourselves as an unlicensed, untrained watchperson and just go after and gun down anyone we might "think" doesn't "look" right.
JMHO
