(You are most welcome!! I had to ping you after I saw your post!!)
You are correct in that he was not arrested, nor was he convicted. However, the discovery of the jewelry in his backpack was treated as a school matter, and never had its day in court, nor exposure to the regular machinations of jurisprudence. Nor will that be taken up unless it is deemed admissible in a Civil Trial, simply because the person in question is deceased.
No, there were several reports about the burglary and the return of the property to its owners.
What? You just trying to be contrarian?
Yes lots of us have screwdrivers, but did you take yours to school at 17 along with jewelry you obviously did not purchase?
Do you keep them with your jewelry?
O’Mara is brilliantly cutting off at the pass those who continue to push the idea that Martin was some innocent little boy. I have a hunch those people are by now well aware that their attempted hagiography of Martin (many of them looking for power or profit from it) will be met with the truth, for once.
Because he loved to help out and fix stuff.
Nope. I generally wore the bracelets and carried the screwdriver in my purse.
agreed. any 17 year old with a history of criminal behavior who is is caught with a backpack full of women’s jewelry, screwdriver, etc is obviously a thief. Common sense is out the door in this country today. For example, when i was growing up in the 80s a kid in our class had a bullet hole in his leg. He also smelled of MJ and was a classic thug. Surpris surprise when one day the cops showed up - at school - and hauled his sorry a** away. In truth - you can judge a book by its cover in 95% of the cases. Political correctness is the party of the nasty a** creepy Pee-Baggers, let them wear it with shame.
Zimmerman was not patrolling. He was on his way to Target and saw TM.
Rush, for some reason, left out the part about the jewelry matching the description of the jewelry the victim had stolen from her.
Do you carry your screwdriver around in a backpack with stolen jewelry that “belongs to a friend?”
The most important thing I learned from this case is about the drug “lean” and how accessible it is, and how parents are oblivious to their kids using it. Time to talk about that.
Exactly!
I hope MOM keeps “educating” the public with all the information that wasn’t ALLOWED in the trial.
Not sure it will make a difference to those with minds already set that this was a racially motivated killing.
Just goes to show you how little the left researches their own position.... they do NOT want to open this can if they’ve studied the covered-up parts that didn’t make it to trial.
>> Last I heard, the items he was caught with were suspicious, but burglary or receiving stolen goods had not been proven.
Yeah, I guess we can suspend a ton of disbelief and spin some loopy hypothesis about how TM got those items. Found ‘em on the sidewalk, right? Holding them for a friend? Guy sold them to him out of his trunk?
Or we can apply common sense — isn’t that what the persecution favors? — and believe the obvious, namely, they’re fruits of burglary that Martin was aware of and/or participated in.
