I would not have. My gun would have been out where Trayvon could clearly see it. Thus, no Trayvon attack. I'd explain to Trayvon that I was neighborhood watch for the community, and ask him what he was doing here.

Well, if Bentway wouldn't have put himself in that situation then he wouldn't have been worth much as a neighborhood watch guy. What does he think a neighborhood watch guy is supposed to do? A 911 person is ALWAYS going to tell someone not to follow a suspicious person. They'll tell you to wait for the police, but if you wait for the police you'll have no idea if the person IS really suspicious and definitely have no idea where they are and what they are up to. There have been a LOT of racist shootings in this country but I don't think this was one of them. If the neighborhood watch guy had been black and the guy he was following had been white and it had played out the same way I would STILL fully support the neighborhood watch guy.
