A few other white residents came around to record. In the video you can hear someone shout “Get out of this neighborhood! You don’t belong here!” Jermaine also asks one of the men who they said had a gun. “You’re the one who’d get a gun,” responds a woman recording on her cellphone.

Jermaine’s sister tweeted images of his car afterwards. The back window was shattered and the car door was dented and scratched, totaling over $1,000 in property damages.

Reports say one of the men, Donald Corsi was charged with weapon offenses for sending a “missile” into a vehicle. The other, Howard Hughes, was charged with first-degree misdemeanor battery. Both also have charges of criminal mischief.

All of this went down in the same neighborhood where 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was racially profiled. Martin was shot and killed as a result. By the size of that rock, you could argue these men wanted to kill Jermaine.

“Yesterday my 16-year-old brother was racially profiled in a neighborhood in Sanford Florida, the same city as Trayvon Martin. Luckily, he had a different fate. I commend my brother for how he reacted in the situation. They tried to throw a brick at his head, And missed,” Jermaine’s sister tweeted.
