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 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

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.

I have been piecing together a timeline and the relevant locations for that night. I plan to put up a more detailed version, probably in a vanity, and including sources later, but here is some food for thought - and I’d be interested in any thoughts (or corrections) on this:

Zimmerman first saw Martin near the clubhouse, which is about a 3-4 minute walk from the house where Martin was staying. Zimmerman’s call lasted more than 4 minutes - more than enough time for Martin to have gotten home at a normal walk.

The shooting occurred no more than 3 and a half minutes after Zimmerman hung up the phone, and possibly as long as 7 minutes after he first saw Martin. In that time, Martin could have walked home twice, and run there three or four times.

Yet the shooting occurred 200-250 feet from where Zimmerman parked while on the phone with police - maybe a 45 second walk.

Obviously, we still do not know exactly what happened. Zimmerman may have committed a crime. Obviously, we know he left his car and walked some distance.

But when I try to come up with the simplest explanation for these times and locations it just doesn’t add up to Martin being “chased” for seven minutes, or even three, while trying to get home.

And that is what’s bothering me right now. How about you?

She (Travon's mother) is expected to appear Tuesday before House Democrats in Congress in a quest to have Florida’s controversial “Stand Your Ground” law examined.

Didn't take long for the Dems to choose the next Sandra Fluke.

This lad may look more like Aunt Zeituni’s son. Or perhaps the half brother, hut dweller George Hussein Onyango. At any rate, Obama may have stepped in a pile ... again.

Very interesting. The more that comes out, the more I think that the primary reason that the cops did not arrest Zimmerman was that they knew a lot about Martin. Why didn't the cops release more info about Martin's history? Possibly because, under Florida law, they can't because Martin was a juvenile.

It appears that, under Florida Juvenile Law, juvenile criminal history is confidential.

Juvenile offender records traditionally have been treated differently from other records in the criminal justice system and, with certain exceptions, have been considered confidential. Section 985.04(1), Florida Statutes, provides:

"Except as provided in subsections (2), (3), (6), and (7) and s. 943.053, all information obtained under this chapter in the discharge of official duty by any judge, any employee of the court, any authorized agent of the department, the Parole Commission, the Department of Corrections, the juvenile justice circuit boards, any law enforcement agent, or any licensed professional or licensed community agency representative participating in the assessment or treatment of a juvenile is confidential and may be disclosed only to the authorized personnel of the court, the department and its designees, the Department of Corrections, the Parole Commission, law enforcement agents, school superintendents and their designees, any licensed professional or licensed community agency representative participating in the assessment or treatment of a juvenile, and others entitled under this chapter to receive that information, or upon order of the court. . . ."[1]

How long before the media starts pulling back from this story because the narrative doesn’t fit?

Trayvon’s backpack contained 12 pieces of jewelry, in addition to a watch and a large flathead screwdriver, according to the report, which described silver wedding bands and earrings with diamonds.
