So just what was his punk-ass doing in that neighborhood that night at that hour? Is George Zimmerman actually a hero?

Thieves.

Like father like son.

Shoot from the hip, get hit by the ricochet.

Santorum, you're not looking like your ready for prime time, unless you're compared to Obama.

The punishment was the third for the teen. On Monday, the family also said Trayvon had earlier been suspended for tardiness and truancy.

Wow! three suspensions for 0bama's pseudo-son.

Wow, discussion on this topic has really degenerated from intelligent debate when it first appeared on FR to this crap.

“A bag with marijuana residue and a “marijuana pipe”” means he’s a drug dealer now?

The article seriously asks “so just what was his punk-ass doing in that neighborhood that night at that hour?” Well, apparently he was returning from the convenience store to his father’s house with Skittles at 7PM. What exactly is so suspicious about that?

And “punk-ass”? Really? Come on, this is a 17 year old kid with no history of violence who was likely shot because of a tragic misunderstanding.

None of this means that Zimmerman is guilty. It’s quite possible that he’s telling the truth and he really thought his life is in danger, just as Martin must have thought his life was in danger because he was being followed by a stranger first by car and then on foot.

Also, at least one of the photos posted in this thread has been debunked as being fake. Come on people, whatever your thoughts on whether Zimmerman is guilty or not we’re supposed to be better than this.

Drug dealing because his Facebook had posts about him hooking up a friend with da “plant.”

Guessing he wasn’t selling ferns.

Here's a direct link to the Miami Herald story, which noted "No evidence ever surfaced that the jewelry was stolen."

White killing black is the equivalent of man bites dog.

It never happens so when it does it’s national news.

The photo I was referring to in my previous comment appears to have been removed. Unless I imagined it, which is possible considering I have tomorrow off and I’m already a few beers deep.

Now what was that Obama slogan? WTF?

0bama stole that from Charlie Sheen I think. Winning The Future! Although Charlie was more succinct.

I’m pretty sure some freepers mentioned that the Facebook page that was supposed to be his actually belonged to another Trayvon Martin. That was a couple of days ago though, so I’m not sure if you’re referring to a different Facebook page.

There’s a Facebook post where a friend tells him to answer his phone in reference to some “business.”. When Trayvon responds he doesn’t have his phone, the friend says, “I need a plant.” A couple posts in his twitter feed sound similar. Another post on his Twitter feed indicates he “took a swing” at a bus driver. Another poster, delivering his message posthumously, says he knows Trayvon beat his assailant’s a**.

So there’s probably a little more there than just an empty baggie.

“Former NAACP leader C.L. Bryant is accusing Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton of “exploiting” the Trayvon Martin tragedy to “racially divide this country.”

That photo has been debunked as not being Trayvon Martin. Please do not post it again.

That is not exactly how Zimmerman describe his behavior on his call to the police.

It is amazing how many people still think he is a 13 or 14 year old kid. Even my wife had to be convinced that he was 17 and over 6 ft tall. The power of the media is frightening.

Well, now it certainly does seem he had previously used his free time to buy dope and acquire jewelry at free or reduced prices.

The Skittles story is looking more and more like a ridiculous cover story. Such as being suspended for 10 days for being "tardy". I'd like to see the text record from his phone.

Trayvon’s backpack contained 12 pieces of jewelry, in addition to a watch and a large flathead screwdriver, according to the report, which described silver wedding bands and earrings with diamonds.

Good for him. He’s making some sense.

But there is nothing to back up Zimmerman’s description. If Martin was casing houses to potentially rob, I don’t think he’d be doing that in the gated community that his father lived in.

The most convincing explanation I’ve heard so far was by someone in a thread a couple of days ago who said that since Martin was talking on a bluetooth earpiece he probably would have looked strange to an outside observer. In his call to police Zimmerman mentioned that he thought Martin was on drugs, which is consistent with Martin seemingly talking to no one and gesturing with his hands.
