Trayvon suspended over marijuana; thousands expected at rally
Miami Herald ^ | March 26, 2012 | Frances Robles

Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin was suspended from school because he was caught with an empty plastic bag with traces of marijuana in it, the boy’s family attorney has confirmed.

Trayvon was killed while serving out the suspension in Sanford Florida, where his father’s girlfriend lives. A community watch volunteer who thought he looked drugged out and suspicious called police and later wound up in a fight with him.

The two scuffled and volunteer George Zimmerman shot Trayvon, killing him. He has not been charged.

Tens of thousands of people are expected to converge on Sanford on Monday for an afternoon rally to protest the killing, which occurred one month ago today.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, the Rev. Al Sharpton and comedian Sinbad are expected to speak at a 5 p.m. special City Commission meeting.

Several busloads of protesters left Miami early Monday to participate.

Traces of marijuana could mean anything from several ounces to a couple hundred pounds. We just don’t know and the MSM is not helping.

You could very well be right, considering the light rain and distance to the Sev, not to mention how many people do toke these days, of which I don’t just so we’re clear.

I wouldn’t read too much into buying a website. It’s probably not to make a profit, but to defray lawyer expenses through donations and to keep other people from making a profit.

Not necessarily Alma......the family's changing their story about his suspension from school..three times now and in direct opposition to the schools statements it was NOT for drugs.....makes the ‘credibility’ of anything the family is saying beyond just questionable and highly suspect of what is it they are hiding that gave Trevor a ten day suspension.

What are they hiding?????

It seems to me they want the investigation to cease or be diverted....from what? Maybe there was an incident of violence against the bus driver, as has been suggested by one of Martin's friends on his page...which if it does indeed become a fact and revealed as so, then this changes the picture of what Martin's profile is all about...and he could very well have been the “aggressor” as Zimmerman has stated.

Further if he was high that would account for what Zimmerman said in Martin wandering about....the toxicology report will confirm that.

Too many lies and misleading statements by family members are hurting the case in the eyes of the public.

Now the mother has filed a civil suite and as much sought Trade-Marks on her sons name being used in these protests etc. Something wrong about a mother manipulating her sons death for gain IMO....and further it's really hurts the “appearances” of a grieving mother.

Zimmerman did not go to jail and was not arrested and therefore could not have had a picture taken wearing a prison jumpsuit.

That picture is just another example of the MSM doctoring pictures and 911 audio tape.

Lower right pictures is not the same Trayvon as the upper left. The upper left is the dead one as a 12 year old. Find the current pics of the dead Trayvon for a proper comparison.

Ray Lewis? I guess they need someone on hand with experience in shooting innocent people.

No, they needed someone who understood how bounty systems, like the one offered by Black Panthers, worked.

Not necessarily. This family has told lies in the past. The father told the police it was NOT his son screamthe 911 tape, then told the media and the lynch mob that it was.

Amazing how the father's story changes after being informed of the penalties for making false statements to the police.

I strongly suspect marijuana won’t be the only drug that shows up on the toxicology report.

Weed doesn't give you the munchies

Not from what I've heard....a friend was being treated for Cancer and couldn't eat, loosing weight rapidly, his family members had stated if they had to they'd take him to Canada for "weed".... for the pain and in order to stimulate his appetite.

It does stimulate appetite...

I believe Admin Moderator has pulled the bottom right photo several times, determining it to be a different Trayvon.

Have you seen the picture of the deceased in his football uniform? Because he bears no resemblance to this phony picture of this chump you are trying to pass off as Martin.

And another thing: Why aren't you discussing the several run-ins with the law Zimmerman has had over the years?

He has had at least two restraining orders against him for domestic violence and one arrest for assaulting a police officer during a street fight.

Why isn't this being discussed?

George Zimmerman had felony assault on police officer charge in '05 & 2 domestic assaults

CR-RESISTING OFFICER WITH VIOLENCE BATTERY ON LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER 2005-MM-010436-A-O

Trayvon Martin's shooter had a domestic violence altercation in 2005
"...Records show that Zimmerman’s ex-fiancé filed a petition against him for allegedly pushing her in her home after insisting he leave in August 2005. The woman said Zimmerman became upset over not receiving and took her cell phone before shoving her. A fight broke out between the two with the woman’s dog biting Zimmerman in the cheek.

Based on bling I’ll go with selling!

There was no eyewitness to the start of the fight.

He was probably using and selling. The best of both worlds.....

No it was Zimmerman who mentioned Martin might be on drugs.....and the fact they recently revealed (yet again a change in the familys story),said he was suspended for finding pot on him. Yet the school made the statement he was NOT suspended for drugs.

Right. I meant Zimmerman.

Jonty....how far was the nearest 7-11 from the happening? I have read 2 miles.....and the guy walked in the rain 2 miles?

There’s so much wrong in how this whole story is playing out and alot of cover up by the family members.

I have no doubt the family is not being honest here...and therefore responsible for this mess we’re seeing as well.
Somebody is behind them pushing this way off to left field!

"Weed doesn't give you the munchies and it doesn't make you forgetful."

"That's just an overblown stereotype to smear all responsibile weed users.

""I demand an apology and . . ."

"Damn. I forgot what I was going to say.

LOL! Good thing you said that or I was going to come after you, cause I have seen all of the above happen.
