    B) this is usually not an option for Blacks in America, as they are automatically assumed to be the cause of the problem by police.

    I would try to do A, as Trayvon did. But, if the stranger confronted me before I could get home then I would "stand my ground" and subdue him, as Trayvon tried to do.

    Remember, it's not a fact that Trayvon confronted Zimmerman. That is only one of many, many scenarios that Zimmerman told the police. Gee, I wonder which one is true? The one where a teenager who was doing nothing wrong when confronted then fought back. Or the one where a wanna be cop had made 46 calls to police about "suspicious black males" in the previous weeks finally confronted a black male who he said was a punk and that they "always get away".

    He knew absolutely nothing about Trayvon so how was he a punk? And what was Trayvon "getting away" from. He'd committed no crime so he was only trying to get away from a stranger pursuing him for absolutely NO reason.

    Don't you see what is really going on here? Its about gun sales to the government. They are the ones twisting and distorting this. Just like the bible has a God and a Satan America has Conservatives and Liberals. They are actually working together by acting like enemies. Trying to convey that everyone should get a gun because there might be a crazy cracker out there or a hooded villain that may be up to no good.

    For me the case comes down to stupidity.

    Zimmerman claims he wasn't following him. He claims he just happened to be going the same direction, directly behind him. You obviously didn't watch the testimony.

    You child is wearing a hoodie walking home from the candy store.

    They say somebody is following them, and that person pursues them, huffing and puffing, after 911 dispatch requests them to not do so.

    Your child gets shot dead after a confrontation with that person.
