In reply to the discussion: If an Afro-American teenager cannot walk home without being profiled [View all]displacedtexan
(15,696 posts)60. Let's talk about how "suspicious" GZ looked that night.
hE looked like there was "something wrong with him." He was likely driving with his headlights off (which he did regularly and freaked the neighbors out when he was playing patrolboy; check the complaints against him). He had a shaved head and that "scary looking mustache and that "weird" line of beard hair like Walter White had for a while. He was following in the dark, and he pulled ahead and got between TM and the next street, which meant that TM had to go around him, then GZ told the dispatcher "He's coming toward me." Duh.
Anyway, GZ's behavior that night was entirely "suspicious."

I can't call him 'guilty' until the jury results come in, but what you said is spot-on, malaise.

What pisses me off is how the media narrative is now, "The blacks are going to riot"...
