A family spokesman says slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin was suspended from school last month for having a baggie that contained marijuana residue in his book bag.
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
I wonder how much the baggie contained before they found it...? Most people don’t carry “residue” in a baggie.
Just idle thoughts on a Monday morning.
Hook me up with some plant yo.
I see the apple doesn’t fall far from the Obama tree.
Can’t be - this is Obama’s son.
Like father like “son” ...
Maybe it is Obama’s son??
The MSM needs to find out the truth about this issue. One paper says he was late for school - someone else says he hit a bus driver. Now this? Come on boys of the press - get a clean story...
So now dis goot boy has taken aswipe at the school bus driver and had weed in his possesion....Loven-It
LOL
The tree asked for it.
BACKFIRE!
Them facts are pesky problems. Except for racers. They (Obama, Nutter, SANTORUM, Jackson, Sharpton, et al) are still convinced Zimmerman is to blame.
He was late for school because the bus driver took
his pot and only left the residue.
That made it necessary that he hit the buss driver.
Kinda hard to get the facts when Uncle Eric has sealed all the records.
Pot? I thought it was a skillet! </not-so-Sharpton>
"Hayyyyy, thanks Trayvon!"
Not unless he was selling it to his fellow students. That would seriously raise the criminality, if so. Still speculation, of course. Maybe he just smoked it at home earlier and forgot to empty his pocket.
...as Santorum spews vile things to the world about a man who’s not yet seen one day in court and has a Dead or Alive 10K reward for his scalp.
It's 3am somewhere an evil white hispanic is hunting your little skittles additcted angel!
#20 was meant for you...
Trayvon Martin Shooter Told Cops Teenager Went For His Gun
an eyewitness, 13-year-old Austin Brown, told police he saw a man fitting Zimmerman’s description lying on the grass moaning and crying for help just seconds before he heard the gunshot that killed Martin.
The initial police report noted that Zimmerman was bleeding from the back of the head and nose, and after medical attention it was decided that he was in good enough condition to travel in a police cruiser to the Sanford, Fla., police station for questioning. He was not arrested.

Exactly my point.
Residue is something you find in a pipe or on the floor of your car if you’re too sloppy to vacuum it out.
The baggie implies a much greater amount.
Exactly right. One expects racers to spew these vile things.
But Santorum?
No excuse.
Meanwhile:
Teenager accused of killing British tourists told friend he had seen ‘crackers’ in the area after evening of ‘smoking and chilling’
A friend of a teenager accused of murdering two British tourists in Florida received a phone call from him just before they were shot saying he had seen the ‘crackers’, or white men, walking in the area, a court heard today.
Jermaine Bane, 21, said he regularly saw Shawn Tyson carrying a gun, and had seen him fire it into the air several times.
Tyson is accused of the murders of James Kouzaris, 24, and James Cooper, 25, who were gunned down in the impoverished Newtown area of Sarasota, Florida, in April last year.
The friends, who were holidaying with Mr Cooper’s family, drunkenly walked into a run-down public housing project known as The Courts.
It is alleged Tyson tried to rob them in the early hours of April 16, 2011, then shot them several times when they said they had no money.
They were found shirtless with their trousers round their thighs, but still both had their wallets and a small amount of money on them.
Can’t be - the MSM paints him as a a saint, totally free from any wrongdoing, cut down in the prime of his life before he cures cancer, solves world hunger, cuts expensive cable tv rates, brings peeace to the Middle East, etc. Yes, he would go on to this in spite of Rush Limbaugh, Big Oil, FOX News, and those thug Grannies in the TEA Party.
Not to mention, 14 years old for several years, at least according to the pictures the media uses.
BS! On his FB page all of his friends were asking if he really assaulted a school bus driver and then laughed encouraging him about how bad the person should’ve been beat.If that was all it was possession why are his records sealed?

Why is MSM identifying a 13 year-old witness?
The bus driver in question:
bonfire of the vanities....
Damn, That ties it all together. Why didn’t I think of that. This is brilliant detective work. LOL
“Hey man, don’t bogart that joint.”
Maybe to let the agitators know who to make uncomfortable.
From your link....
Even though Trayvon was only 17, he already was sporting gold teeth, and several large tattoos. This one was on his wrist, apparently of his girlfriend’s mother’s name.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is just bizarro.
WHO? Who gets a tattoo of your girlfriend’s mothers’s name?
I guess it would be the same people who get “goal teef”.
(CNN Howard) Kurtz wondered how MSNBC could allow Sharpton to participate in the rally and subsequently cover the event for his MSNBC show. “How on earth can Al Sharpton go there, be an activist, stand with the parents, and he asks people to contribute money, and he went to the Justice Department with the parents of Trayvon Martin. And then he does his [MSNBC] show, and then he speaks at the rally again. He’s covering himself,” Kurtz said. “How can MSNBC allow that?”
MSNBC, for its part, would seem to have planned for this kind of role for Sharpton from the start of his career there.
“We are breaking the mold,” president Phil Griffin told the New York Times in September. “Anything he does on the streets, he can talk about on air — we won’t hide anything.”

Obama’s New Partner: Al Sharpton
President Obama looks to Rev. Al Sharpton for help in 2012 reelection bid
BY JONATHAN LEMIRE
DAILY NEWS CITY HALL BUREAU
Wednesday, April 06, 2011
The reporter left us to wonder at a new reason for expulsion ~ "caught with an empty bag of marijuana'.
Think about that one a bit.
Here in Fairfax you actually get expelled for having an "unknown" pill, even aspirin, but if you had an "empty bag of aspirin pills' they wouldn't expel you ~ but this school system in Florida is undoubtedly giving the others ideas!
That one has been floating around, in and out of FR, but no one has indicated if it has any legitimacy.
Let’s just slow down here.
We were told he was suspended for being in an “unauthorized area”.
Now his parents say it was an empty bag with pot residue.
If I’m not supposed to believe Zimmerman and a few other eyewitnesses, I’m not jumping to believe the young man’s father’s version of this story.
Let’s just wait.
The press is working as hard as they can at not working as hard as they can on this.
What irritates me is this:
“fresh-faced, innocent looking teenager”
At a ‘west end’ bar [now defunct] the most successful ‘dealer’ was a kid who looked for all the world like Howdy Doody.
I am not exaggerating.
He was so virginal, clean cut, down home, mom & apple pie, All American you’d NEVER suspect he was dealing dope on a huge scale.
Being the rube that I am, I only found out what he was after asking why the local yutes were so enamored with this red haired, pasty faced, freckled ‘cracker’ that they nearly broke their own legs, jumping up to greet him every time he came through the door.
Imagine my surprise.
He looked like every kid in our HS FFA program.
[frankly, I always wondered how he even got in the place to begin with because he looked to be about 16, at best]
“Looks” mean absolutely nothing.
Villainy wears no deadlier guise than that of virtue.
Remember, these will be the same public school authorities who also claim neither they nor the teachers can tell the difference between an aspirin and roofies.
That problem is rather nationwide ~
