Yeah. True. But 6’3”, 150 pounds is really, really skinny!

It is interesting how now all the evidence supports the self-defense story of the shooter. Sounds like more than a few politicians jumped the gun with Obama. So called conservatives luled into carrying water for Obama’s political agenda. Starting to seem like either the election is a shame or our canadits are fools.

So how does this tweet relate to a suspension, and was it the primary cause?

I have no idea. Just putting out that this isolated tweet seems to be the basis of the "suspended for beating the bus driver" rumor.

His alleged weight has varied from 130 to 190. The autopsy report would give his real height and weight, but I haven't heard it being released, which is odd.

'"gated community",'

Well, it has 'gates' at the entrances that require a code to enter. You can 'enter' the community if you climb a wall, but it is 'gated'.

Wait a minute, I thought he was suspended for 5 (five, or fi, as he would say it) days for tardiness!


It seems there was both a 10 and 5 day suspension for Martin if media reports are accurate (which is kind a bad thing to assume in this case)

One in October of last year and one in February.

I am sure there will be a lot of interesting facts about Martin to come out eventually. The Martin “family lawyer” has sure worked hard to keep Trayvon’s school disciplinary records from being made public.

You can bet it's not because they want to keep his SAT test scores private. BTW, what kind of family has a "family lawyer" on call. One that has to deal with periodic criminal complaint's perhaps?

Over at this thread, it comes out that school officials suspended him in October for graffitiing a locker. When the searched his bag, they found "Trayvon’s backpack contained 12 pieces of jewelry, in addition to a watch and a large flathead screwdriver, according to the report, which described the screwdriver as a burglary tool".

It's looking more and more like Zimmerman was correct when he suspected Trayvon was casing the area for burglary.

I also heard that little Trayvon was packed and ready to leave that very weekend with fellow students to hand out Bibles to the most remote of tribes in the deepest part of the African continent.

Another FReeper is researching the timeline and promising to report it in a separate thread (sorry, the nick escapes me), but so far he reported that the known timeline doesn’t make sense for Martin, that is he seems to have spent too much time trying to reach his father’s girlfriend’s apartment.

I don’t know, if someone is on top of me beating my face then tries to take my gun, I’m going to do everything in my power to prevent that from happening.

Because my gun in his hands makes it his gun.

From everything I’ve seen on this matter so far, it really seems to me that Trayvon was the one out looking for trouble, and he most certainly found it.
