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.
I've seen reports of the amount of money in Martin's pocket and the fact that he had an Arizona Iced Tea and Skittles, but I haven't seen the original source document. The 911 tapes on the Sanford website specifically state that they are in no particular order, although #1 is a call by Zimmerman. #3 is chilling. For approximately 42 seconds, you hear somebody screaming 'help, help, help' before the gunshot (the voice sounds suspiciously like Zimmerman's voice from call #1).
This means that the woman caller heard the cries for help, made a decision to call 911, got the phone, called 911, got an answer (I don't know if calls are quickly answered there), and got a 911 operator before the 40-42 seconds we hear of 'help, help, help,' which is presumably the beating/altercation. That's a long time of yelling for help before the gunshot.
