Martin was observed to be behaving strangely in a gated neighborhood that has had a string of robberies. He came towards Zimmerman first, then ran when Zimmerman moved to meet him. Zimmerman ran initially, then stopped pursuit when the 911 operator told him to (and he probably thought "what the HELL am I doing?")
That isn't profiling. He didn't notice the kid because he was black. He noticed him because he was behaving strangely, and that's what he said in his call to 911...the kid acted like he was on drugs.
What did he do that was "behaving strangely" and who observed it OTHER than Zimmerman?
Keep in mind that Zimmerman made over 90 nuisance calls to 911 about "behaving strangely" incidents that turned out to be nothing.
You have to have more than "behaving strangely" to play copper.
What was he specifically doing that was strange?
Where is there any evidence "the kid acted like he was on drugs"?
What exatly was he doing?
Ok, Trayvon was doing nothing but walking through a community that had had some problems in it (worst of all burgulary), in which Zimmerman was appointed as watchmen over ???....Ok, Next Zimmerman noticed Trayvon walking in the neighborhood, because Trayvon was wearing a hoodie (a favorite atire for druggies, hoodlums, gangsta's, criminals and so forth, who want to conceal their indentity by wearing these hoodies, in which is even more hightened in suspicions, when it is not the season for wearing clothes that are designed mainly to keep you warm in the heart of winter))?? Now very sadly our youth have taken on the look also in many cases (as what some sort of a statement maybe)? Ummmm where they think that it's so cool to look the part of a thug these days)? I guess this was the first flag for Zimmerman to begin checking Trayvon out (it was wrong in America's thinking these days to do this, but was right on in the mind of a person like Zimmerman, who I guess was on watch. OK, so Zimmermans profiling experience is based on what ? Does anyone know Zimmermans background in security work?? Does he even have a background in security work?
Zimmerman said he (Trayvon) was acting strange according to Zimmerman when called 9-11 (what ever that means), then he gave a description of Trayvon as a blackman etc. when Trayvon began walking closer to him, I guess because his hood was up, and he couldnot tell until Trayvon came closer.
Yes Trayvon was profiled by Zimmerman as a possible criminal element in the area, but why(?) Was it due to his atire worn, and this when Zimmerman first spotted him, and not because he was a blackman when Zimmerman first spotted him??... Zimmerman profiled Trayvon as a suspicious character, that later led to the two coming into a great and dire situation together, that next led to traggic consequences over what apears to be a possible mis-judgement by Zimmerman, who had profiled Trayvon wrongfully as based upon his atire worn (the hoodie), in which caused a person like Zimmerman to become initially suspicious of Trayvon, in which started the whole deadly dance between the two on that traggic (((night)))? I was under the impression it was day when this happened, but was it at night ?
Racial profiling would have only been the case, if Zimmerman would have called 9-11 and said to begin with " Hey their is a "blackman" walking and looking suspicious in the area, so I am going to place him under survielence as a suspicious person due to the crimes that have taken place in the area...
