There is an issue with a Zimmerman trial witness not being talked about on the mainstream media, but it sure is a hot topic on talk radio.

Has it ever happened to any of you?

Yes. However, it has happened to me as an adult who is six foot three and a half inches and two hundred and thirty pounds. One business I own involves cash deposits at night after banking hours. I have been followed two times when I was making these deposits. The first time I tried to make turns, and the person continued to follow. I do not carry a gun. I always played on three softball teams and always had a baseball bat in the back seat and never felt intimidated. I was scared on both these followings, and went to a public gas station and got out of the car and then made an obvious stare at the following car while pretending to write down the license plate.....it was too dark to see the driver or license plate. The fear was real.....both times.

As a kid......well I simply could out run just about any other human I had known and it was not until my junior year in high school that I found people who could out run me.......they were black. Fear, from my wife's perspective is very tangible with strangers.....her small town had young girls found murdered by serial killer they eventually found......raping 12 year old girls......no somethings are profiling which implies without basis, and some things are real and present fear and danger.

This is why I've said from the beginning that armed "neighborhood watchers" should not be out of their cars and following people.
