I'd be glad to. Start by reading post #2.
This is the meta narrative driven by Crump, Sharpton, Jackson, et al, with the help of black media, and ultimately MSM to sway the court of public opinion.
Per Crump’a request, it seems Sharpton jumped on this case very early, even before the 911 tapes were released.
I read an earlier article where Sharpton discussed a conference between himself, Crump, et al, and TM’s family about TM’s past ... more or less to see if he was a “good boy.”
My hunch is, though they thought they did their homework, but missed important facts. Still, they are all in ... which includes involvement and statements from the Justice Department and the President.

Sharpton Vows to Occupy Sanford, Fla., Over Easter
ABC News ^ | Monday, March 26, 2012 | Chris Francescani
As much as I think lawyers are scum..There are time’s that I wish I were one.
I’d be preparing the paperwork to sue every paper and media network that has been fanning the flames of race riots on behalf of all the innocents that are going to be injured or killed.
There are limits to free speech, you can’t shout fire in a crowded theater.
There are limits to freedom of the press too.
an honor student.. and the first thing they do is call jail to see if he was arrested.. an honor student that got busted for dope, vandalism and carrying around burglary tools and stolen jewelry..
The bar for “honor student” is a little lower than when I was in school.
Should have highlighted this from the article. Here's the spin ...
Martin, Trayvons mother, Sybrina Fulton; Benjamin Crump, the family lawyer; Al Sharpton and former New York Gov. David Patterson participated in an exclusive 1-hour telephone conference call last Thursday with more than three dozen publishers from the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA).

I think his GF said he went out for skittles and tea (another obvious drug reference) but my recollection is not as good as it once was. It is not referenced in the police report so how do folks know had the candy?
Another very biased and inflammatory article from the liberal capital of Wisconsin. Before writing something designed to ensure that racial divide remained an issue, it would be nice if they bothered to present both sides of a story or even the other side of the coin, black on white violence. Move along folks, nothing to see here except the usual BS.
Zimmerman 911 audio recording
http://www.sanfordfl.gov/investigation/911/call1.wav
Listen to it and tell me if you think the story line as presented fits the audio from the 911 operator?
At one point it was said he went to get them for his little step brother. Were they mentioned in police report?
But
tonight I read that dad and fiance’ went out to dinner and didn't get back till ten. So who took care of little brother?
The media needs to go back to that convenience store and talk to the store clerk. Does the clerk remember Trayvon? Did he in fact even pay for the alleged Skittles and iced tea? Did he buy rolling papers? Did he appear to be high? What was Martin doing before he went to the convenience store? Wonder if his dad was on top of where he was and his activities...
The last few hours of Trayvon’s life leading up to his encournter with Zimmerman need to be investigated.
Just another race pimp in the conga line.
Yeah, getting your vicious thug spawn’s name trademarked for royalties is a nightmare.
There's a photo on your link that states it was taken from Trays MySpace page. It shows a fellow with a large tattoo that takes up most of his arm.
If you click on the link there and go to the actual "TRAY" MySpace page, the fellow describes himself as 19-years old and 5 feet 8 inches. He last logged in on 3/27/12 - yesterday.
These are photos of the Tray Martin who was shot by George Zimmerman. They were taken on February 17th, nine days before his death. He has no tattoos.
No wonder Dan Linehan writes, "The picture were used to seeing to represent Trayvon Martin appears to be a far cry from how he actually looked once he was a few years older." Dan published photos ~ and tweets ~ of the wrong fellow!
I'm sure no one's interested in this and I'll be called a few more names, but at least I tried.
Facts be damned.
This is about pushing an agenda, and ‘Obama partner’ Sharpton once again jumped the gun ... this time dragging in both the President and the Justice Department.
What is the source of this? Is there 7-11 video? Did the police interview a 7-11 clerk? If there was skittles and tea, who says it wasn't already in the house? How far is the 7-11? Would he walk that far for candy and tea?
Sounds too cute by half.
Why are you posting this pack of phony facts from a far left wing rag ?
These money grabbing parents leftbthusxkid I a the city morgue for 3 days unclaimed !
“Facts be damned.”
Yes, with idiots like this you are probably right:
Comedian Race Baiter Dick Gregory: Trayvon Killed So They Could Harvest His Organs
*Insanity* but he has people who are listening to him.
I’m glad it was posted....it went out to probably 15 million black readers of various newspapers.....
This version smells on so many levels. I would never go to sleep if I did not know where my 17 year old was, especially if he did not answer his cell. I give my youngest a certain amount of time to return a text or call (usually 24 hours). Then I leave a voicemail. "As long as I pay for this phone (he is in college), you will answer if for no other reason than to let me know you are alive." All I need to do is threaten to track him down...that usually does the trick. :)
What time was the crime scene cleared? They came home and were oblivious?
Notice he had Trayvon’s GF call juvenile justice and the sheriff's dept to see if a kid had been picked up, not if there had been any accidents. Why didn't she tell him about her conversation with Trayvon?
Nephew's phone went to voicemail? Wonder where nephew was?
This has gone beyon Rev Al. He isn't that smart to orchestrate this. Someone else is pushing this story now.
Dude. Nice catch. I've said from the beginning the Skittles reference was BS. Kid said he was going to 7/11. Closest one is almost 2miles away. It's raining.
Sanford is a drug haven. And there are spots not far from where Trayvon was staying where it would be quite easy to buy.
Girlfriend and Dad were gone. Trayvon was playing "Home Alone". Perfect time to get high.
Until proven otherwise with a pic of some Skittles and tea on the ground or a surveillance tape, which usually is on the news 24hrs after a crime, from the convenience store I do believe lil' Tray was scoring some dope.
Is “Arazona Tea” a drug name too?
