Well this is what i heard on the news yesterday.
That neighborhood has had 8 burglaries over the last year, witnesses reported seeing a young black man around time of the break ins.
So Trayvon is walking through the neighborhood at night, with a hoodie on and I'm sure he had his pants halfway down his ass. (i say that not because he is black, but from his twitter/facebook comments and the fact that he seemed obsessed with acting like he was some 'tough gangster'). He was apparently cutting between houses as well, now whether that was because they were shortcuts, or because he though Zimmerman was chasing him, who knows.
That's more or less how i heard it explained. Is it true? I have no clue. Should he have followed? Probably not. Did he hunt Trayvon down LIKE A DOG and murder him like a certain congresswoman said who likes wearing ridiculous outfits during hearings? No, probably not.
But stfu and let the justice system work and stop acting like this is some huge racial issue. It isn't the 1950's anymore people, stop with the BS.
