Sanford Florida identify a gang that uses Hoodies as their symbols or sign of being in a gang? Why would detective Serino associate Martin's clothing related to a gang in Sanford Florida when he told the FBI that? What gang was he talking about? Why would Zimmerman profile Martin off his clothes or what he was wearing? Serino is a detective and has a lot of information about gangs. I just don't know where Zimmerman would have got that information. It just makes me suspicious, because it would be a good excuse against racial profiling to say clothing instead.
