11. Its not about innocence. Its just about what Trayvon was doing there.

It wasn't illegal. He wasn't a perp, as he was identified by Zimmerman. He wasn't armed or carrying stolen goods. He was minding his own business, engaging in legal activities. There was no reason for him to be profiled.

Likewise, there was nothing especially peculiar about a gum purchase, except that blue cotton candy flavor is most often a favorite of serial killers according to peer reviewed journaled studies
