When You're Mentally Ill, Anyone and Anything Can Set You Off...

I would set off George Zimmerman. If I, an Ashkenazic Jewish woman of White (Slovakian-Polish, Irish, and other) and Hispanic (Spanish) descent, was wearing a hoodie and even looking at George Zimmerman, I'd be shot. George Zimmerman could've honestly thought the Skittles to be bullets or pellets of some kind. When you're mentally ill, anyone and anything-- including someone like me wearing a hoodie-- can set you off.
