it's a hoodie. a black person wearing a hoodie walking in Zimmerman's home area would be considered as suspicious.

Oh well, the fashion style change over time.

I don't see many black people wear "bling bling" clothes, that was less common today than in late 90's and early 2000's.

Same goes to white people, skateboard fashion is very popular.

Only if they were peering into people's windows. But, they wouldn't have to be black to look suspicious. They also would not have to be wearing a hoodie either. A female sephardic jew whom you have never seen before that is peering through your neighbor's windows would possibly look suspicious. A 17 year old Sioux indian in full gourd dance tribal wear that is peering through your neighbor's windows would also look suspicious.

If you were recorded on a 911 call saying "he looks ...funny ... with that indian make up and ...and ... feathers and stuff " you would be absolutely persecuted and shoved to the wall by the Native American Tribal council for deeming gourd dancing tribal wear to be "suspicious' articles of clothing.

Not necessarily, especially if he's not a teen.

Zimmerman testified that Trayvon was walking on the street.... far away from "peering into anybody's window". Serino concluded that Trayvon was not committing any crime.

therefore... you're quibbling around as usual.

That doesn't mean he wasn't peeping in windows. We just don't know for sure.

Absolutely correct. We don't know for sure and cannot be discounted. It's funny how people make assumptions and pass them off as facts.

And for some reason, this....


'Weed for Trayvon... it don't make him go crazy it just make him go hungry,' she said.
She vehemently denied Zimmerman's claims that Martin was peeking in the windows of houses on his walk home- which led the neighborhood watchman to believe he was going to rob a home in the area.
'Trayvon is not a thug, they need to know a definition of a thug to judge,' she said.
