i still think that any and all guards/neighborhood watch/community patrol ect.ect. should be dressed in a hat that says "neighborhood watch",,and a jacket,t shirt,ect. with "neighborhood watch" right on it back and front. this would have changed everything in the martian/Zimmerman situation.
i listened to the 911 tape way back then,in the tape Zimmerman states to the 911 operator "oh,i didn't want to say that out loud because i don't know these kids"
George Zimmerman Trayvon Martin 911 Call - YouTube he makes several comments on the order that he does not want anyone to know that he is the neighborhood watchman.
Martians friend who he was on the phone with testified that martian told her there was a "creepy white dude following him" whether or not this is a racial statement or not makes no difference. what does make a difference is the fact that he(martian) did not recognize Zimmerman as a "neighborhood watch" so it would seem self evident that the only real way for something like this not to take place again is to "CLEARLY MARK THE NEIGHBORHOOD PATROLS",,,,
