The Daily Caller has identified a second Twitter handle that was used by the late Trayvon Martin during the last weeks of 2011. Tweeting in December under the name “T33ZY TAUGHT M3,” Martin sent a message that read, “Plzz shoot da #mf dat lied 2 u!”
It’s unclear who Martin intended the message for, or whether he intended it to be taken literally.
The photo Martin chose to represent himself on Twitter as “T33ZY TAUGHT M3″ depicts him in a black Polo cap, looking into the camera and extending his middle finger. The photo’s file name on Twitter’s server indicates that it was taken on the afternoon of June 17, 2010.
At least one website issued a retraction this week after mistakenly linking Martin to a middle-finger-salute image on a Facebook account corresponding to a Georgia teenager who shares Martin’s name. This image, however, was uploaded to Twitter by the teen himself.
On Tuesday TheDC published 152 pages of Martin’s Twitter activity that were retrieved using the social analytics product PeopleBrowsr.
Additional searches via the same website yielded the Twitter handle “T33ZY TAUGHT M3,” whose activity spanned just one month and ended shortly before Martin began tweeting as “NO_LIMIT_NIGGA.” His Twitter activity under that newer screen name began with the tweet: “NEW NAME, NEW BACKGROUND, NEW TWEETCON, I MAKE CHANGS B4 NEW YEARS!”
Although The Daily Caller has not confirmed with Martin’s family that the earlier Twitter handle belonged to the 17-year-old, there is significant evidence for the conclusion.
A basic Google search for “@T33ZY_TAUGHT_M3″ on Wednesday indicated that corresponds to a defunct Twitter account once used by someone named “Tray.” The same name, entered into the Google Images search engine, generated the photo of Martin flipping off the camera.
Upper-arm tattoos visible in that photo match those depicted in the Trayvon Martin’s MySpace page, which TheDC has also identified. That account includes numerous features, including photos of family members, indicating that it belonged to the slain teen.
I don’t know the details of what actually happened, but I do know this kid was a worthless thug.
If he had not been killed by Zimmerman, he would have been killed by another black kid.
Quite the nice little honor student.
Does anyone else think that black folks are SCARED, not sad about what happened?
A few more of these precious thugs that get shot in a “righteous” shooting and suddenly whitey won’t be afraid?
Hmmmmmm.......
Is this serious? A paid journalist wrote that? This is what we’re coming to, analyzing a teenager’s twitter feed for content? Ridiculous.
The predator class is enraged because their prey are shooting back.
That’s all. It’s not about Trayvon, never was, never will be.
Their “entitlement” isn’t rolling over anymore.
Great photo - great screen name!. :-)

Wrong. It's simply about gathering more information about the people involved, in order to get a better understanding of their personalities, and what may have transpired that night. It's also about the fact that the media originally created a narrative of Martin (supposedly having an unblemished school record, the constant showing of pictures of him from six years ago when he looked much younger and dressed differently), and much of that narrative now appears to be false.
That Trayvon got sucked up into that ghetto culture and lost his way by the age of 17 is a tragedy of it’s own that isn’t ever discussed. He was once an innocent child with a future and the ability to make the world better. Now he’s gone. There are so many like him that die every day in every major US city - the vast majority which we learn little about because they don’t have the sensationalistic exploitable angle of a George Zimmerman. Why is there no discussion of the intrinsic issues within these communities, in our popular culture, and in our black culture, that allows the senseless loss of life - and recurrent loss of innocence and promise of the children who live in those communities? Holder was right. We do have a cowardice when it comes to discussions of race, but it is the Holders, Sharptons, Jacksons, Lees, etc. etc. who are the cowards in this regard, and the children they say they care about are the ones who are suffering.
Plenty of teenage boys (and girls) talk tough and talk smack among their friends
It does appear he was modeling himself on the gangsta culture that pervades the black community, and that has pervaded our own WH, Tray-Von the tough guy made the bad mistake of jumping a white dude who was armed. In the music videos thass not supposed to happen.
neighborhood watch captains aren't the bad guys here, it is gangsta culture and dysfunctional social culture that is killing black (and other) teenagers.
Yet we have the president of the USA firing up union thugs to “bring a gun to a knife fight” and obama inviting BLACK MEN like Cee Lo Green to sing “F##K off” at a fundraiser and he laughs about it.
Yeah Barry, if you had a son, would he look like Trayvon? Are your precious daughters going to hang with dudes like Trayvon? Are they gonna rap along with Cee Lo your man? Or “Ludacris”? Or your other wealthy aging black men entertainers stirring up kids’ racial hatred and anger for profit?
Malia gonna date dudes like Tray-von? Dudes that wear hoodies and pants on the ground, sport a grill, dig their weed, and enjoy the same vulgar angry ranting and racism that passes for “entertainment”?
michelle says she raising her girls with “South Chicago values” - such as?
As opposed to North Chicago values?
Anyone wanna know how many people were shot just last weekend in Chicago?
we had the same reaction, different words
I don’t like to describe anyone as worthless.
I sympathize with black parents who are trying their best to raise their sons in that culture.
Trayvon, it appears, had something most black boys do not have....a father in his life.
But sadly, it is very difficult to counteract the glorification of gangsta.
Daily Caller ping!

We’ll remember that if something ever happens to you...just ignore the background/modus operandi of the individuals involved.
A more accurate handle (now at least) would have been "NO_VITALSIGNS_NIGGA"
Zimmerman saved the taxpayers a buttload of money.
Can someone please send this to The Beaver’s mom for the translation?
