Thanks. I've heard '7/11' used generically a lot, and many things reported early (like 'he went at halftime of the NBA All-Star game') aren't panning out to be true. Are there any other convenience stores that are closer than the 7/11? I don't know if Starvin' Marvin from the Panhandle make it down that way, or other brands - or simply a generic convenience store.
Not disputing you, just curious given that you're narrowing it down to a specific brand of convenience store based on reports, and we've seen that the details in early reports were frequently trash.
Nope. No Starvin’ Marvin.
I seem to be the only one that seems to think it’s important to nail down his whereabouts prior to his death. It’s entirely possible that 7-11 was used as a generic term as a destination to buy Skittles and a tea. I’ve mentioned from early-on about the Upsala Grocery which is a closer store but likely closed at that time of day. Then someone else brought up a nearby Walmart. But even that would be a 3mile round trip.
The point is somebody put the story out there that Trayvon was simply out to buy some candy. Another BS line to go with the 5 year old pics that he was an innocent child, murdered by wild Hispanic.
I’ve thought from the beginning he was out to buy drugs and Zimmerman’s description of Trayvon’s actions supports that. Which is why it is very strange that nobody is concentrating on collecting evidence to contradict it - such as the bag of Skittles, the iced tea or surveillance tapes from the few stores in easy walking distance.
