“A tweet??? Oh, okay ... LOL”
I just wanted you to know, Alice, that this is the post which negated your entire case. Last night I was following this thread, and I found your comments interesting. You appeared to be providing relevant information, and I made the mistake of thinking you might be objective, trustworthy and/or just very well informed.
Then you challenged the assertion that Trayvon had attacked a bus driver. Your request for a link was provided. At that point you had a choice: admit Trayvon did indeed have violence in his past, or go full on Saul Alinsky and mock the info and its provider.
As soon as you chose B, I revised my opinion of you and all your info. Turns out you're so biased, you could pass for Trayvon’s mother. Iow, a reliable source of info you Are Not.
What on earth kind of question is, ‘A tweet?’ What century do you live in, that you don't know what a tweet is??? Or if you know, what possessed you to be so smart...alecky about it? Yes, of course ‘a tweet’. It's how people of Trayvon’s age communicate, duh. He tweeted to his brother, evidently re: his suspension, and his brother tweeted back. It's obvious from the latter that Trayvon attacked his bus driver.
If you can't or won't see that, then why pretend you're anything but neck deep in Trayvon’s Kool Aid? Iow, if your narrative is, ‘Trayvon is the innocent victim and Zimmermman is evil’, and you ignore and dismiss any fact--yes, fact—that interferes w your narrative, your credibility is exactly zero.
If you're smart, you'll take my comments to heart. The next time you're trying to make a factual case, be more respectful of info that contradicts your narrative. If your only tool is mockery, you will lose any and all objective observers who, like myself, had previously vested you w integrity.
Fwiw.
I really don’t care what you think of me. Actually, it’s pretty sad that you’ll base your opinion on what I say or don’t say. Maybe you should do your own research instead.
As another FReeper has stated, this site has become “Smear Trayvon Central”. Anyone who hasn’t jumped on the bandwagon, anyone with a question or a view differing from the herd is immediately lambasted, insulted and called names by their fellow FReepers, including you: ‘I could pass for Trayvon’s mother’. WTH? Don’t you think if Trayvon attacked his bus driver there would have been criminal charges? I will admit Trayvon had violent past, if and when it is proven … and a tweet is not proof. Just as a baggie with marijuana residue is not 'proof' that he was a drug dealer.
These are some of the tweets have been presented on this site as ‘proof’ of Trayvon’s violence: F*ck these haters I’ll kill ‘em all if I could! … puss ass crackas … BOB MARLEY, Y U NO SHOOT THE DEPUTY?
They’re lines from songs! It’s Rap, maybe not the music you and I listen to, but music all the same.
"F*ck these haters / I'd kill 'em all if I could / Ain't scared of none of y'all, so you know my aim's good / Blowin Bin Laden, yeah my Porsche 9/11 / Just left Ground Zero on my way to kush heaven." by Jeezy
"Puss ass cracker give a nigga a hundred years / Have ya mama leavin' out the courtroom in tears / Crackers don't love to have a nigga breathin' for real / Take a nigga life from him they don't know how it feel." by Lil Boosie
Since it peaked to Bilboard's #1 song in 1974, I thought everyone knew Bob Marley's song "I shot the sheriff / but I didn't shoot no deputy". Even Eric Clapton did a version of it.
There have also been ‘gangsta’ photos of Trayvon posted on this site as ‘proof’ that Trayvon was a thug and that George did the world a favor by killing him. The moderators have been busy deleting many of them as they are of a different Trayvon. Here are some photos of the boy taken on February 17th, a mere nine days before his death:
