I would imagine so, if circumstances were not as they were. I admit, my statement was not on par with the point of the article, nor was it meant to be. As you said, the majority of the people missed the point of the actual article, and the discussion had begun to center around generalization, so I chimed in on the general topic. I used to go with friends, when I was young, to purchase drugs in that area. I know 3rd Street, 13th Street, and that 7-11 very well. I also know that there is no sure answer as to whether or not Trayvon Martin would or would not have been followed or shot had he been white, and nobody ever will, save one person, and that is Mr. Zimmerman. None of you know what was in that man's heart that night. He could very well have been out to get someone, anyone, that night. Maybe, just maybe, regardless of whoever was under that hoodie, they would have been followed due to the route they took, or how George felt that night, maybe he caught his wife with a young man, speculation serves no purpose but to inflame.
