Trayvon Martin shooting wasn't a case of racial profiling?


People still can't figure out if it was racial profiling? George Zimmerman saw a black young man with his hoodie on and thought the worst. He called the police and ignored what they told him. He said it was self-defense? He felt threatened by Trayvon, how? If Zimmerman was the one following him. Shouldn't it have been Trayvon that felt threatened? I don't think  George Zimmerman would have been so bold if he wasn't carrying a gun. If he felt so threatened , why follow him? Why not let the police handle it?

What do you think? What would you have done if someone was following you with a gun? Defend yourself? Run?
    OR
What would you have done if you saw someone "suspicious" walking down the street? Would you have followed?
