Where did the Skittle and AZ Tea story come from? Did anyone see the two items? Both are street names for drugs.

If he'd been drinking "Two if by Tea" this would never have happened...
“Where did the Skittle and AZ Tea story come from? Did anyone see the two items? Both are street names for drugs.”
I heard someone say that on a talk radio show. Have no idea how to verify something like that. Interesting though.
The whole thing is very confusing. So he was staying with his father and his father’s “girlfriend”? And the girlfriend he was talking with on the phone lived in Miami?
I find it hard to imagine that he was willing to do a 4-mile round trip on foot just to buy a bag of Skittles and some iced tea. (Reports said the convenience store was 2 miles away.)
I think he was probably just looking for the place he was staying - although it’s also certainly possible that he was up to no good, based on what we have heard about his past. But I don’t think in any case he should have been shot and it seems to me that there was negligence on the part of the HOA by letting an armed person patrol for them.
Martin probably did attack Zimmerman, because it sounds as if, like many kids from his background, he had a hair-trigger temper and also he could see that Zimmerman was going to be a pretty easy target (smaller, overweight, etc.). Zimmerman shouldn’t have been armed in that capacity, but he was and it was legal - and if Martin tried to grab his gun, Zimmerman was defending himself when he shot.
The problem is that Obama and the race-baiters don’t want a reasonable negligence settlement. They want nothing less that Zimmerman’s head on a platter.
I didn’t know that. Wonder if we will hear the results of an autopsy report. Don’t they automatically do an autopsy in a murder?
Mama, copy and paste that link to the only KNOWN set of facts. It is amazing that so many of the talking heads seem ignorant of this, not to mention a lot of us freepers.
It was written and is updated by the City Manager, who BTW, is a black man. Quite simply, facts make no difference to those who have seized upon this to foment racial violence in the run-up to the election. The more the better for Obama in the big states. Obama will not be called on this any more than he was called on Constitutional legitimacy. The more WE drift from the known facts, the more it helps them.
Again, these are facts as presently known. The rest is speculation, or in the case of the Martin legal team, Sharpton, the MSM, and elected Democrats in hoodies, DIS-information.
Freepers who have not read it and are focusing on background information are choosing sides in the "Good Boy Attacked vs. Bad Boy Attacker" scenario, or what is IMNSVHO, moralizing and dramatizing quite needlessly.
Read the information on the Sanford city link. Again, the more we drift from the facts in gray areas and background, the more we help those who seek to help Obama by causing CHAOS.
