A certain culture and a certain attitude ? It's called being a teenager.
People want to paint me with that brush but I know PLENTY of well dressed, good mannered teenagers....I know plenty that aren't and weren't and I know a lot of the people that had the thug attitude have been arrested or shot or are currently in jail....rightly or wrongly

When I was a teenager I was taught Perception is reality...that lesson kept me out of trouble, it got me jobs. People can say "Never judge a book by its cover" but there IS a hesitation in many people not just myself to give the benefit of the doubt to someone who carries themselves in a manner resembling a common thug....sorry that's just the way it is.

Did Trayvon deserve to get shot just for "looking like a thug" no, but I can understand why Zimmerman would be suspicious about a person walking around aimlessly, in the rain, at night, when there have been a series of break ins in that area....but hey that's just common damn sense. Nobody is happy about the shooting Beanz, nobody is saying "good riddance to Trayvon" it was an incident that didn't need to occur and its tragic, but nobody can undo it.
