This seems more like a story about incompetence than racism.

Either way, this will probably end with that man getting some money.

That's just the police.

They do that shit all the time unfortunately.

The only reason this is getting news is because of the other recent florida events.

The State of Florida makes the City of Detroit look safe.


Detroit's homicide rate is 58 per 1000.

Florida's is 7.5 per 1000.

 

So not even close really.


Don't let facts get in the way of a good story:)

Where did I say Black?  That's a weird racist assumption right there...

Black, White, Hispanic, in the wrong neighberhood getting to know your neighbors is the eaisest way to get your house robbed by a tweaker.

For example anytime anyone in the area i work at gets thrown in jail, the first thing that happens is their is a huge rush to get to their house between those who'd like to rob him, and anyone loyal enough to protect their stuff.

 

Crime isn't race dependent... it's not really wealth dependent either like you would think.  It's mostly location dependent.   Poor city areas, that's where crime thrives.   Granted Black people do commit an inordinant amount of crimes, but that's because they live in these areas more frequently, it doesn't have anything to do with race.

 


So why give the assumption that people are guilty until proven innocent? Besides, communities that are more social towards each other tend to have less crimes commited to neighbours BY neighbours. This applies to ALL communities, not just the low class.


Certiantly isn't the case in the communty I work in.   Everybody knows everybody.   Everyone is friends with everybody.  Everybody robs everybody.


Do you work in "Trainspotting" areas and communities?

Here's a suggestion to Florida residents: Why don't you get to KNOW your neighbours? Much easier than having confrontations...


You must have never lived in a poor/lower class neigherhood.

 

If you know your neighbors,  Your Neighbors know yur schedule... which means your ass is getting robbed while your at work.


What's that? People should NOT talk to their black neighbours on the basis of fear of having their stuff stolen by them?

Thanks for justifying my point.

I think we need to re-evaluate your definition of "friends".


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.

Not particularly... as far as areas in Las Vegas goes it isn't near one of the worst ones.

Though the character relationship dynamics are more or less are the same.

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.)
