The area had a lot of burglaries, the description of the suspect(s) was black and wearing a hoodie.

As cliche as it sounds Treyvon fit the description.


It was dark, it was raining, and Trayvon Martin was wearing a hoodie.

Zimmerman when he called 911 rattled off a long list of reasons why Martin was suspicious, none of which was race. EVEN WHEN ASKED by 911 if Martin was white, black or hispanic, Zimmerman could not identify the suspect as black.
