The clothes you wear, the music you listen to, or your choice of personal style doesnt give people the right to profile you and harass you. Taking pictures with a gun is dumb but it doesnt make you a killer. Being a dumbass teen doesnt make it ok to be hunted.

Sure it does, if you are walking around town in a KKK robe you are going to be profiled. Harassing isn’t ok, but we are legally allowed to profile. So, dress like a thug, I am going to assume you are one. [/quote]
Good point.
If I wear a KKK outfit - people will think I’m a KKK member
If I wear a dress and high heels down the street - people will think I’m gay/a cross dresser
If I wear pair of scrubs - people will think I’m a doctor/nurse
It’s a natural act to make your initial assessment of a stranger based on the only information you have and that is usually how they are dressed and how they act.[/quote]
Sure its natural to make an assesment thats only human. But nobody has the right to harass or violently confront someone without just reason. But Zim had no real training he all he saw was a black kid stoping and walking slow wearing typicall teanage clothse. So by your definition a hoody and sweatpants is Thug clothes so everyone wearing that stuff must be up to no good? Thats just ignorant… I wear hoodys in the winter so am I thug?
Alot of you guys think Im anti white Im not. Im anti wrongfull death…Despite what you think Travon was or could have been the fact is he was a teanage kid walking in the rain to get candy. He was chased by a overzeoulse Zimm and did not react in the best way sure I get that. But Zimm is a adult with grown up brain & with his position and his fire power should have shown more restraint. I dont think this was a murder, but it was a manslaughter, and at the very lease a wrongful death which Zimm is responsible for due to not following police instructions. The media wants to play up the black white thing, becuase it sells more TV time. If we are going to as a country love guns so much and keep creating laws that let the non trained and ignorant walk the streets with guns then we have to consider the fact that we are not progressing much. Step away from the race thing and imagine this was just two people which may be hard for some of you. Its another case of a wrongful death due to someones missuse of a firearm.
