You'll note that I'm making few declaratory statements myself. With respect to tattoos, I'm taking the position that it's likely the Sybrina tattoo is Trayvon Martin's, but we don't know for certain. And I'm taking the position that people cannot say with certainty that Martin had no tattoos. You've seen the photo I posted above. Now look at this photo.

I just found this - on Martin's MySpace. You can't see the inside of his wrists. In one photo you seem to see a tattoo on his upper left arm, but not on the other. Compare the two photos and tell me definitively, if you can, whether Trayvon Martin has tattoos. You don't know when the two photos were taken with respect to each other, or when he was supposed to have gotten tattoos. Me? I'll wait until the coroner's report is released and then I'll know when I read the report (not somebody else's analysis of the report). Currently, I have opinions and I've made assumptions about tattoos - but I'm not passing them off as facts.

Then I find photos like this on that 'Trayvon Martin" MySpace account. Its title: "my dog red."

I see it and I think: is somebody setting us up? How stereotypical is this. Some people are painting Trayvon Martin as a 'thug' wannabe and there's a pit/pit-mix dog on his MySpace account, listed as 'his dog, Red.' It's as if somebody is playing around with the knee-jerk 'Trayvon was a thug' people and is tweaking the MySpace account, yet the photo has 11,000+ hits, similar to the photos of Martin himself, so it appears to have been there all along.

There are going to be people suggesting that the shooting was righteous because Martin may have owned a pitbull, which they'll interpret as proof Martin was a thug, which they'll interpret as proof that Zimmerman's account is true. (Note: That wasn't me taking a position. That was me pointing out that for some people the presence of a pitbull on the MySpace page will be evidence that Martin attacked Zimmerman.)

I believe (but don’t know for certain) Trayvon has a large tatto on his upper left arm. He doesn’t have one in the pic you’ve posted, but he is a few years younger (than in the picture of him with the upper left arm tattoo taken from Twitter). The close up picture of the tattoo on his upper arm (taken from MySpace) appears to be the same tattoo that he has on his upper left arm in the picture taken from Twitter. Does that make sense?
