What Trayvon Martin’s tweets say about him

Dare I ask what the C in C-Murder stands for?

C-Murder may not stand for anything; it's a nickname. In the legal field, the first thing I think of with "C-Murder' is Capital Murder - i.e., murder for which a possible punishment is death. Not saying that's the case but my immediate thought as an attorney was "C Murder, as in Capital Murder?"

I think you misread. The way I read it is Dr. Krop is the name of the school.

Thank you. I did misread. Dr. Krop appears to be the name of the school. However, even if he was busted for being in an unauthorized area, later reports said the suspension was because of a no tolerance police on drug paraphernalia.

If we've learned anything with this case, it't not to believe reports at face value, but it makes more sense to suspend a student for ten days for violation a no tolerance drug police than a unauthorized area policy - but let me be clear that is my opinion.

What a charming and intelligent young man.

I’ve wondered if the jewelry was bartered for marijuana and Martin was going to give it to his dealer.

The timeline doesn’t allow for much to have happened. The other inconsistent fact is that Martin’s girlfriend claimed to have called him back when the call was terminated. It’s more than odd that neither the police made a call back or someone else answered the phone. We have an almost visceral reaction to a phone’s ringing. I believe those facts along with the malfunction of the Kel Tec, when a second round wasn’t chambered, are key pieces of evidence.

Here’s the timeline.

I’m not sure what Martin’s tweets have to do with anything.

Whether or not the tweets paint Martin in a bad light, the unrelated twitter activity is irrelevant concerning that fatal night. I don’t care if the guy had a rap sheet. The only things that matter are limited to a handful of minutes. I’m confident the evidence, testimony, and forensics will paint an accurate depiction of what transpired.

What you said would be true and correct... IN A COURT OF LAW. This evidence about his tweets would likely be inadmissable.

 

But as you know, we are not in court, we are looking at the real issues that lead to his being shot. And based on what Martin said and on who he was... he was mostly reponsible for his own demise.

I tried to come up with a retort to your snappy reply, but after 10 minutes at the keyboard, nothing. I’m just sitting here, floundering around.

The only thing worse is the pimpmobile parked outside with the stereo cranked up so loud, and the thumping bass almost rocking the building on its foundation.

Weed use and profanity have become somewhat normal for today’s teens...

In the ghetto culture, sure. And in that culture where #NO LIMIT NI&&A thrived, you know what else is normal?

Young black men geting gunned down. Usually by other blacks, but that happens every day.

I don’t expect you to reply to this - SINCE YOU GOT THE ZOT, TROLL - but it needed to be said.
