Are we surprised that you can still get killed for being black in the wrong neighborhood? Or that the police support vigilantism?

Since when was the (self-appointed, apparently) "Neighborhood Watch Captain" allowed to carry a gun?

Growing up, our neighborhood watch consisted of nosey old women who peaked out of their curtains.

Following a teenage boy, starting a fight with him, and then shooting him to death when he is unarmed is a Constitutional right! This is very clearly defined in the Second Amendment. Obviously, it is the victim's fault for not carrying a gun.

I mean, he was walking in the rain. Slowly. Wearing a hoodie. What else was this Hannity-loving Great American supposed to do?

It's also in the Bible. And if you ask me where then you are going to Hell.

I went to high school a few towns over from where this happened and wasn't at all surprised when I heard that this happened in Sanford. The town is notorious for this kind of attitude toward minorities, especially the African-American community. It's tragic that a boy was killed; hopefully, though, the attention paid to the PD as a result of this careless shooting will effect change. Sadly, though, I doubt it will.
