People have speculated, that Trayvon was considered a suspect, just because he was black or because he was black and wearing a hoodie (it was raining)Few have noted he was also doing something else, that may have seemed unusual; he was walking in a place most people seem to drive everywhere.
I just heard about the greater Orlando area being ranked as the most dangerous major urban area for pedestrians in the entire country.
Dangerous by Design
The new report comes with a listing of the 10 most dangerous urban areas to be on foot (greater Orlando takes the prize as the most hazardous city to walk in) and with an interactive map, showing where fatalities are most likely to occur.
From walkscore.com
....................Walk Score........population
Sanford, Florida .... 36 ........... 52,273
Orlando, Florida .... 47 ........... 237,105
Could an place that makes basic daily human interaction so difficult have helped create paranoid fears? Anyway, if you know this area well and have thoughts, please share them.

I think you're on to something. In fact, I'm kind of surprised it took so long for someone to make this connection.
I think the fact the obvious injustice and weirdness of the shooter not being charged in spite of so much evidence became the main focus.
I do think a big problem is that race itself is used as any easy answer to avoid confronting more complicated issues we don't like facing.
