I don't watch much of the local news, but I don't think they're over-doing it. On the local web outlets, they usually have the story at the top with any new developments. As far as residents go, I think the downtown area is much more concerned about this since it's been happening in their neighborhoods--that's not to say we're not all somewhat concerned. I think the biggest thing now is the homeless angle. They say a guy was panhandling just before Zimmerman was found and now the cops have taken in dozens of homeless for probation holds, warrants, etc. and I just hope this isn't giving people a false sense of security. They have been questioned, but no one is being held in connection to this.
