Some are not going to feel comfortable

whats the criteria of the situation, location, time, and people you possibly could come in contact with, you know as well as i do just wearing the wrong color hankerchief in some neighborhoods could get you killed, doesn't common sense tell you, regardless of your rights as a free human being not to do things that may cause someone else to act violently against you, if a cop acted like i was a wanted criminal and was hollering with gun drawn to put my hands up, would common sense tell me to reach in my back pocket and pull out the good citzen award i had just received from the mayor earlier that day to prove i was'nt the one he was looking for

Look this isn't the 90s I can wear whatever color I want from Atlanta to Boston I went to LA and the media makes it seem worse. Gangs don't flag like that anymore they sell drugs and don't want to draw attention most people that flag are false claiming or bg's or yg's(baby gangsta young gangsta) and they don't even get guns unless they are on a Mission. On most bad areas you don't just kill someone any way there is a strict order and most gangs want peace so they can make more money.

It's the people who react violently that need to change, and that can be done by enforcing the law NOW on this sitaution that just happened. The guy needs to be charged and tried and this law needs to be overturned, and that will send a message that shooting black people because they have a hood on is unacceptable.

With all the mention of gangs flagging, and "walking where you shouldn't walk at night" it seems that this has been forgotten:

As for the Retreat at Twin Lakes (Where Martian was shot) I live a few miles from it, and it is not a "neighborhood of paranoid white folks who have guns." It is a normal middle class neighborhood of town homes

It was also Trayvon's home.
