The situation had to do with reaction to suspicious activity in front of my place of business, which is a significant distance from any residential areas.\u00a0 My words at the time were, &#8220;My suspicion was aroused because the activity\u2014a person standing in the driveway&#8211; was so unusual. As I approached the driveway, I saw that the person was a black man who appeared to be in his mid twenties. I stopped and asked if he was waiting for someone and he said that he was walking home from the store and had stopped to rest. I acknowledged his response, drove up to the gate, opened it and drove in. That is the end of the story.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it turned out not to be the end of the story. A few weeks later, I saw the same person walking along the road as I left my office. So I stopped, and asked him if he&#8217;d like a ride. He enthusiastically said he did, got in and I drove him home. He mentioned that he had been shopping and appreciated the ride home. That&#8217;s just what he had been doing the day I saw him standing in front of my office. And just as he was on the day he aroused my suspicions, he was carrying a few shopping bags.<\/p>\n<p>A week later, I saw him again, offered him a ride and he accepted. There were no vehicles parked at his house on either occasion, so apparently, walking to the store was a true necessity. Standing in the driveway of a business that was obviously closed is certainly suspicious. However, as this experience proved,\u00a0 not all suspicious activity is what it appears. Sometimes, a person walking home is just a person walking home. And sometimes they stop to rest.<\/p>\n<p>That isn&#8217;t meant to imply you should ever let your guard down, only that things are often not quite what they appear. And that cuts both ways.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>A few months ago, in the midst of the aftermath of the George Zimmerman trial, I wrote\u00a0 Profiling- Racial and Otherwise, a post that detailed <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cuttothe-chase.com\/?p=722\" title=\"Profiling- Racial and Otherwise&#8211;
