Multiple suspensions paint complicated portrait of Trayvon Martin
The Miami Herald ^ | 3/26/12 | Frances Robles

Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin was suspended from school in October in an incident in which he was found in possession of women’s jewelry and a screwdriver that a schools security staffer described as a “burglary tool,” The Miami Herald has learned.

Trayvon, who claimed that an unnamed friend had given him the jewelry, was not disciplined because of the discovery, but was instead suspended for graffiti, according to a Miami-Dade Schools Police report obtained by The Miami Herald.

He is starting to sound more like your typical black stuident every day.

Why do they keep using that picture of him when he was 12 years old? Why do the news stories still say he was in a gated community?

I predict the TrayvaThon dies... tonight. Tomorrow it will be ‘why didn’t the schools recognize his schizophrenia and protect him’ re-projection.

What was Trayvon’s physical size. Was he big enough to take on Zimmerman?

Looks like the lead singer from The Spin Doctors. But if he wants to be Trayvon, I don’t think the identity’s taken anymore.

I think Martin was probably up to no good at the time that Zimmerman saw him, although it doesn’t sound as if he was committing a crime or had just committed one at that moment. But the idea that he’d walk 4 miles round-trip in the rain to buy a bag of Skittles is too ridiculous for words, so he was probably doing something else, such as selling drugs, casing places to burglarize, or whatever else it was that enabled him to buy that mouthful of gold caps.

Perhaps he thought Zimmerman was somebody from a rival drug selling operation who was out to get him and this was why he attacked Zimmerman.

Potential burglar, dope dealer, property destroyer, and all around roust-about.

The crap that is acceptable in the black community dismays me to no end.

And his family has been doing damage control from jump street so people wouldn’t find out what the truth is.

Folks, I bet good money that Martin has been stopped by the Miami Dade police and been Field Interviewed in the company of known gang members. That will be archived in a database somewhere and will need to be subpoenaed by Zimmerman’s attorney if this turns into a courtroom spitting contest.

Get Yo Rave-on for Trayvon. /s

The Mom owns the copyright to his name now, so he can expect a visit from her lawyer.

From what I’ve read Trayvon was 6’3” and 140-160 pounds. He was a football player. He was probably wiry with muscles.

He’s found on school property with several pieces of jewelry he says are not his, along with a screwdriver, which could be used as a weapon, and he’s allowed to skate? Nobody confiscates the items, or turns them over to the police to see if any match possible burglary items? Are these people for real? This kid was a trainwreck waiting to happen.
