It was only today that I learned that Trayvon was almost 18 and six foot three inches tall.

And had been suspended for 10 days from his high school, which is why he was staying at his father's house in the first place.

The only disciplinary offense which carries a 10 day suspension is fighting, although it is possible to get 10 days for repeated offenses of other types.

Anyone else notice that the papers and press coverage always show a picture of Zimmerman that make him look like a perp but the ones shown of Trayvon are cleancut pictures of him from a much younger time looking very sweet and innocent+?

No agenda there!

Although this is interesting, it does not really matter. Zimmerman is the one that started this deadly chain of events. Trayvon was obviously defending himself from Zimmerman.

Depends on the jurisdiction. In Fairfax County Virginia you can get a 10 days suspension for defending yourself from a gang attack.

Their standard is that if you were there you are guilty.

I'd have to see what Mr. Martin's school district's actual practice was first.

Getting into a fight means nothing. Most youths, of all races, gets into at least one fight over the course of their schooling.

Most Freepers here advocate the willingness to fight, if you’re being picked on.
