Did George Zimmerman vote for Obama?

Ok, I'll try and help here. This obviously depends on the area you're talking about.

My parents live in a suburb, pretty far outside of the city. There is nothing to see or visit there, just residential houses where families and old couples live.

If you see a stranger walking around there you'll be suspicious. My mother often is. Which is natural. There is no reason why anyone would be walking around there if they don't live there (or is visiting someone). And it is fairly common with break-ins and such things there. I imagine this is even more pronounced in the US with high crime rates, etc.

Me on the other hand, I live in in the city centre. Here weird people are walking around everywhere all the time, there are parties, bars, etc. I once came out of my room to find a drug addict staring into our hallway mirror. (not sure which way that example cuts though, come to think of it)

It obviously makes no sense for me to report someone wandering around here.

Sometimes late at night I want to get out and take a walk and so I drive to a safer suburban neighborhood. Does that make me suspicious?
Or maybe I'm okay because I'm white, physically unimpressive, and I don't wear a hoodie?

I'm assuming this is some kind of joke, right? Or do you actually do that? It surely can't be all that common though, can it?

Why would I be joking? It's a perfectly reasonable and wholesome activity.  Just because something may be uncommon shouldn't make it suspicious.

I've tried to stay neutral in this issue until more evidence arose, but some of the things the Zimmerman defenders here are saying is ridiculous. Walking around in suburbia is out of the ordinary? What a paranoid lot you guys are. I suppose your insides tighten when you hear hip-hop on a car radio in the distance, as well?

one should not be able to hear a car radio in the distance.

It's a pretty common occurrence in any reasonably populated area, especially if you live near a major road.

Of course it's a common occurrence, which makes it all the more stupid and irritating.

Are you also irritated by ice cream men?

Somewhat - mainly because they always seem to be out of tune playing the same damn song.  But at least they have a legitimate reason for existence beyond invading the eardrums of innocent bystanders.
