More damaging, however, is the background picture he chose for his Twitter page:
That charming face is the mugshot of rapper Corey Miller, aka C-Murder, who is doing life without parole for beating up and shooting to death 16-year-old Steve Thomas in 2002 at a night club in Harvey, Louisiana. Quite the hero for Trayvon to worship!
Trayvon's Twitter account has been deleted. However, I found a Google cache of it, dated Feb 6, 2012 12:29:45 GMT, here. (You may need to disable JavaScript to avoid being redirected to a blank Twitter page.)
Trayvon's page lists his name as SLIMM, his location as YO HOE CRIB, and his (favorite?) website as LIES.COM. Dude liked caps.
And, lest anyone question whether it really is his page, the Google snapshot shows a 15-hour-old birthday greeting from the lovely and charming EatYhurBrainz, aka Kia (whose background pic would have pleased Doc Edgerton). Kia turns out to attend the same high school as Martin. And her greeting would have been sent on the evening of 5 February. Martin was born on 5 February 1995.
