That's the root of this that makes people angry. That's the law they want to write, but, that's not a law that can be written or enforced, and deep down, everybody knows this. So at worst, Martin was just a victim of this type of evil which can't ever be regulated with laws. Which is what makes it so frustrating to people. Which is understandable, but I also can't help but think we're a long way from the early days of this thread where you were considered a racist if you pointed out challenges in the state's case.

Unless you haven't been paying attention to facebook, twitter o the news, you can still be a racist for believing Zimmerman is innocent.
There is a simple reason nobody took Ben up on the offer. . . There is no law you can write.
You could put something on the books to say someone cannot follow a suspicious person, but then you will get the one in a million case the other way. (Murderer slips free, someone gets raped, etc)
