This is why I disagree with you.

Z was the person that got out of his car & followed T.
T told his friend, a creepy cracker was following him.
WHEN does T get to defend himself from a stranger?
Z is the adult, T just turned 17.
WHY didn't the adult act like one?
WHY didn't Z identify himself as a neighborhood watchman, trying to protect the area?

IF only Z stayed in his car & waited for the police......................

the narrative i keep hearing is that the african-american community feels outraged because they don't feel their kids can even purchase skittles and come home safely.

i appreciate the backdrop.

but this particular kid may easily have got home with his skittles. between the shop and his home, he chose to break someone's nose and pound his head on the sidewalk.

this isn't a race story. it's a teenage control one.
