Trayvon's Skittles, Arizona Iced Tea and something called 'Purple Drank'

Media speculation as well as internet buzz are openly querying if Trayvon Martin's purchase of Skittles and Arizona Watermelon Fruit Cocktail Juice on the night he died were just to satisfy a young man's sweet tooth or were they two of the three ingredients in a dangerous codeine-based concoction, as reported by the pop culture news portal RashManly.com on July 12, 2013.

Martin has been portrayed by his supporters as an innocent youth armed with nothing more than a bag of Skittles candy and a can of Arizona Iced Tea on the night he was killed by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman..

During the course of the trial, State Prosecutor John Guy made it official when he identified to the jury Martin's personal possessions found on his body by police, to include an "unopened bag of Skittles" as well as a "full can of watermelon-flavored drink," as reported by Central Florida News 13 on June 25, 2013.

Yes, and more than that, in excusing / promoting the thug/drug culture that Trayvon descended into*:

Public school ‘Trayvon Martin’ days:

I AM ANGRY that Trayvon’s unfortunate death is STILL today not being used to teach responsibility to teens/children — but instead is promoting that culture of death and destruction.

My prayer is that that will change as more background info comes out about both TM and GZ, who ironically, had worked with black youths. WHAT LOST OPPORTUNITIES as we sit here today; I pray that will change.

*TM is a textbook case of teens’ needs for guidance, stability, etc.

[Another http:theconservativetreehouse article also documented Trayvon’s life before/after his move in with his mother and his change in high schools.]
