Apparently, this particular town has had racial incidents before involving shootings. So there is some distrust of the police in that town.

There was an excellent article in the NYT yesterday or the day before about the general siege mentality of people in Florida living in gated communities. I can understand this to some extent, because of the transient nature of some of the population.
I think what bothers me the most about this case is the stalking aspect and the whether the use of deadly force was warranted. Unfortunately, because of the involvement of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and other black "leaders", we seem to be trying the shooter before the investigation is complete. Given the reputation of the police in that town, I'm glad to see pressure has been brought to bear and other organizations are giving the incident a review; but we must be sure that in our zeal for 'justice" that we don't decide to convict the shooter without a fair hearing. We certainly don't know all the facts.
