What the media doesn’t want you to know about Trayvon Martin
Flopping Aces ^ | 03-26-12 | DrJohn

When a story regarding the Trayvon Martin death appears, it is almost universally accompanied by this image:

It is of a Trayvon Martin years younger than he really was. And it's not accurate. Dan Linehan has done some sleuthing and found a much different picture of Trayvon Martin than the one being forced down our throats. The real Trayvon Martin is being scrubbed as you read this.

This is a more recent image of Trayvon Martin

And so is this:

Twitter

It seems that Tray was also on Twitter, but his account seems to have been recently deleted by his family or friends.

His screen name was “@NO_LIMIT_NIGGA, as you can see from the twitpic account screenshot above. He was also a member of a twitter hash group #team4dat.

At first, I was skeptical that anyone would maintain an account with that sort of derogatory slur in the title, but after doing some research, it’s apparent that it was Trayvon’s account.

The account was in existence long before the shooting occurred a few weeks ago, and was deleted only recently, there are still dozens of references to @NO_LIMIT_NIGGA in google’s cache.

The associated twitpic account matches the account name and is still online at the time of publication. Most of the pics were uploaded months ago, so this account was associated with Trayvon long before the shooting took place.

Several of Tray’s friends have been very open about referring to Trayvon using that account as well. His cousin, who is quite active on Twitter, refers to Trayvon more than a dozen times using the @NO_LIMIT_NIGGA nickname.

See also here and here

Apparently the account has been terminated but Google has lots of cached references.

Trayvon referred to himself as "Slimm" in his Twitter account and his Facebook account.

He had friends in gangs, if he was not in one himself, and there is a question as to whether Martin was active in the drug trade.

SANFORD, Fla. – The mother of slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin has filed papers seeking to trademark two slogans based on his name.

Can someone document how many times a parent of a dead teen (or any other dead person for that matter) has done this? Are they cashing in on his death? SICK

I do not know, but the odds are pretty good that there was no need for a divorce.

Are we racists for having looked at this public information with perhaps a slightly more critical eye than the Left.

As Jesse Jackson said, let the light from this martyr illuminate his murder.

Get it while you can, I guess. Sick...sick...sick. Because of the trademark issue should I hold off on production of my trayvon hoodie?

Mark Levin said she was probably being pushed to do this by the lawyers - for money purposes. I honestly didn’t understand Levin’s point and he didn’t explicate. Maybe someone else can explain it. But a bad publicity move by the mother.

Thanks for posting. One of the best early revisionist articles on this nightmarish story. The msm is going to have to walk this back - or completely drop it.

“W.T.F.?” Obviously they were campaigning for Obama with “Winning The Future.” /s

I thought that the minute the real facts started coming out about this case. It’s almost exactly like the book. And will probably continue to be right up until Zimmerman is railroaded into jail.

My friends on Facebook are ALL died-in-the-wool libs who constantly preach about the evils of Republicans.

I think you need new Facebook friends :^)

Media isn’t trying to keep any one distracted.

They are whipping up race riots for the summer.

I was in the beauty shop today. Local radio station was playing.

Justice Rally for Travon is being advertised...I’m betting it is happening in every city.

The template is written, truth be damned.

"You pointed out the most fascinating aspect: the change in that kid’s face. I’m wondering if it was a divorce or something that changed him."
 
From selling and smoking a LOT of expensive DOPE.
 
His tweets are all about smoking weed and arranging drug sales transactions.
 
Don't you all know he was a MODEL STUDENT? The MSM says so..

You know what I find so sad...

Looking back through Trayvon’s MySpace, he was such a good-looking kid, there are pictures of him doing aviation work and assorted things that shows he was a young boy with ambition and big dreams. Pictures of a young Trayvon fishing with his father.

You can also see through the photos that a change had started. Gold grillz, tats, using rap lingo and dressing more gangsta. It also would appear that drugs had started becoming a part of his life, too. Mom had sent him to his father because he had also started to have problems in school.

As the story is told, the father then takes a visiting and troubled Trayvon over to the dad’s fiancee’s home, leaves him there and goes to dinner with his fiancee. Then dad doesn’t report Trayvon missing until the following afternoon—assuming Trayvon was off with a 20 year old cousin. I would think Trayvon was with dad for dad time, not to run around with an older cousin.

I wish Zimmerman wouldn’t have shot Trayvon and I wish this whole thing hadn’t happened. I also wish the dad would have forgotten his girlfriend while Trayvon was staying with him. Maybe took Trayvon on a long fishing trip or even took him to dinner with him that night. Basically, I wish Tracy would have devoted all his attention to a troubled Trayvon.

I suppose it is judgmental but that is my thinking on this. This case is as much to do with the break down of the family in this country as anything else. God bless Zimmermna, Trayvon and their families. So tragic—all of it.

Charming child - not!

I just think it’s sad that he did look like a sweet kid at one time. I haven’t read all the tweets and after seeing his rear end on one thread, I doubt I’m gonna keep at it.

No, I don’t really need new friends on Facebook. We almost exclusively talk about theatre and movies and old tv shows. If conservatives took more of an interest in the arts (at least here on FR!), I probably would have more conservative facebook friends.

I would like to ask some of you all when you were 17 were you a choir boy? I wasn't I was drinking, smoking, breeding and shooting drugs. And my mom thought I was the good little boy who would never do anything like that.

The issue has never been about the guilt or innocence of any of the two parties involved in the shooting. It is and always has been about creating support for “The Divine One’s” re-election and money.

Well, if they keep this media circus up about Trayvon Martin from now until election day, I say this to the White House, dems, dem media pundits, Soros, handlers, power brokers, commies, et al:

Last I checked, the combined White and Latino vote in this country equals about 85% of the actual people who vote, so please keep it up. Go Al, Go Jesse!
