Arrest him.  Otherwise, the next he kills would be someone he disliked -- white or brown and yellow and black -- " I can stand my own ground." Be alert: two men on the street: one with candies and drinks, one with gun — both walking round the neighborhood– Who do you think was up to no good?!  This self-assumed captain of neighborhood watchman has long been had the evil intention of trying his gun.  On that night, whoever met him — was just a curse — Trayvon being a black added a stronger urge of trying that gun — that man is 100% criminal — he carried a gun in the neighborhood and he shot an unarmed person and he looks much bigger and strong to that kid — no self defense — just an evil mindset of trying to use that gun he had for many years. Arrest him.  Otherwise, the next he kills would be someone he disliked — white or brown and yellow and black — ” I can stand my own ground.”
