This kind of pressure is enormous. If they're afraid of one teenager walking home I can imagine what this does to their blustering cowardly fake bravado. If I was Zimmerman I would be really terrified right now.

This looks well organized. Slick posters and printed T-shirts shows a concerted effort much more than a spontaneous gathering. I'm sure it's sending chills up a lot of official spines, including the police.

If the intent is to make Black people cower in fear they've seriously miscalculated.
