You are true about living in the ghetto but the problem is when you are driving through no one knows you five streets over.

Honestly, I think there would have been a bit more of an investigation at the local level, regardless of your jurisdiction, if in today's America, you were gunned down by a neighborhood watch guy.
Outrage, maybe not to the degree of what we are seeing-- but due diligence would have been the watchword for your investigation from the start and so the outrage would have been from your family and friends directed solely towards the perpetrator. In the Martin case, anger is not just limited towards his murderer-- but towards a murderer and a system that is allowing his murderer to be free tonight.
