People you see and hang out with on a regular basis seems to be a good definition to me.  If you disagere... sure.   Point is then, there are just some people you can't be friends with.


How many times do you think that Zimmerman attempted to talk to Trayvons' father before the incident, or this neighbour to the guy who got shot? I mean it's one thing to outright hate a neighbour, and it's another to not recognise them at all...


In the middle of the night.... from behind... while that person has their head covered? 

Outside which...   Trayvon Martin didn't live in that Neighberhood.  It was his father's fiance's house.   His Father lived elsewhere... and he primarily lived with his mother.  (Though granted, nobody reported this correctly.

He'd only been in the neighborhood a handful of times.  So it's kind of hard to argue that situation would of been avoided by just knowing your neighbors.  (Not to mention, the fiance could of lived a few blocks away.)


Except they reported as somebody attempting to break into the car, which would imply that he wasn't in quite yet. After all, if he was in there for cigarettes, he'd have been back inside by the time the police arrived. 

As for Trayvon, he was at his stepmother's place, and had been there several times before. He was coming back from the store.....in a gated community....heading for Zimmerman's neighbour, who was also the same ethnicity. Failing that, Neighbourhood watch participants usually do have a general knowledge of what's going on in their community through plenty of social interaction with neighbours. What went wrong in this case?
