That's my contention with the whole case. Would he have confronted Martin if he hadn't been armed? I'm willing to bet not. All too often a gun confers a false sense of security. And probably a little false bravado.

How is this racial profiling? Racial profiling would be more like, "he's black, so he's guilty of something." Finding someone in the area who matches the description of previous suspects and calling the police is just being a good citizen. Of course confronting someone you think is a burglary suspect is not and could get you into a bad situation.
