Very well written piece ... and I agree Zimmerman likely provoked this by his behavior.
However, being fully honest and with no constraints posed by PC, the reality is most crime is committed by young black males. We all know that even if we can't say it in a public forum without getting blasted (which is how some will respond to my reply no doubt).
In other words, there is a lot of truth to the stereotype which is why people are wary when they see young black guys wearing hoodies, especially when in a group. As I recall Jesse Jackson expressed similar misgivings when walking down the street.
That's the unfortunate reality ... whether we like it or not.
