“What Trayvon Martin’s tweets say about him”

What do his teachers, school administrators, and law enforcement personnel say about him??

If anyone can get a transcript of those Posts, it needs to go viral on the world-wide web.

If this is a “typical teenager”, we’re in big trouble.

Amazing. No mention by the Miami Herald of Trayvon’s Twitter handle, No Limit N***a.

‘poke fun at street culture’...

Well...that might be one way to look at it. Another way to look at it might be that the films glorify drug usage and the culture surrounding heavy drug users. But to say that young Trayvon was into films about illegal drugs doesn’t fit the narrative.

Does anyone know the circumstances of Trayvon’s last suspension when the search found the pot pipe and pot residue? There had to be a reason for the search. What was that reason?

Paragraph one:

Trayvon Martin liked girls, hated high school and was planning for college.

So he liked girls? ("sometimes vulgar" means multiple p*ss*, h*, b*tch):

A review of the account, which has since been taken down, portrays a typical teenager with a sense of humor and a preoccupation with girls. He is sometimes vulgar when discussing sex, and he often quotes explicit song lyrics.

More of the literate "college bound" education-minded Trayvon Martin:

It’s clear he wasn’t happy at his high school, Dr. Michael D. Krop Senior High in Northeast Miami-Dade: “Wuld I miss Krop?? Hell na f** da skool, f** da lunch, nd most of all f** da faculty….. Ima miss sum of da students, mainly da babies ;)”

In whose world is this proof of a "typical" teenager who "likes girls" and wants to further his education?

Looks like the newspaper is following the Martin as choirboy story line. There’s no mention of the drug or violence references in his tweets. Whitewash? Or it would it be more proper to say blackwash?

“...known as “Slimm””

Ahem...I don’t believe that was his Twitter name.

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.

A lovely child.... From his tweets:

DOG, Y U NO EAT MY HOMEWORK?” and “GHETTO GIRL NAMED SHANEKAQUELA, Y U NO GET NORMAL NAME?”

“Wuld I miss Krop?? Hell na f** da skool, f** da lunch, nd most of all f** da faculty….. Ima miss sum of da students, mainly da babies ;)”

He often stayed up late at night waiting for girls to call or text. In one exchange, he singles out a girl to say he stayed up until 1 a.m. waiting for her call, to which she replied, “I did too call u at 12:18 !!!!!!”

Most of his tweets revolved around girls and sex.

“I’m READY for a REAL relationship I’m talking mama meetin and all,” he said on Jan. 8, almost two months before his death.

He often retweeted Twitter account @iTeachSEXOLOGY, with tips on the physical acts of sex

Like I said, a lovely child!

From the Article: A review of the account, which has since been taken down, portrays a typical teenager with a sense of humor and a preoccupation with girls.

The article, which should be taken down, is a typical MSM fluff piece that portrays an angelic Black victim who can do no wrong and was therefore murdered by a white monster. Evidence contradicting their conclusion, like the photo and tweet shown above, must therefore be ignored lest the ignorant public get a wrong impression.

He is sometimes vulgar when discussing sex, and he often quotes explicit song lyrics.

He is constantly vulgar when tweeting to women, and insults their appearance, calls them whores, discusses their genitalia, etc. It is sickening misogyny. Not a "typical teenager".

I read some of those tweets. It was so disgusting I couldn’t believe it was coming from a 17 year old. It turned my stomach. This kid was the wrong stuff.

Spin control. Now the Herald is telling people what to think. Real reporting would of just involved linking the twitter history and letting the readers decide. The are not fooling anyone.

The woman who wrote this article is a piss-poor journalist as well as biased and incompetent. She completely ignored the full content’s of Martin’s tweet-site, the photo of him with his gun-holding buddy, and his criminal record.

His tweets weren’t “exposed” by an internet website, they were simply posted. Martin “exposed” his own words when he put them out in the public. If Acosta is too incompetent a reporter to find them herself, that is the Miami Herald’s problem.

Martin’s posts about “women and girls” were more than average sexual banter. They were down right ugly and degrading and threatening. Maybe they were braggadicio, but he wrote and posted them. He was responsible for them.

Acosta - nice try to cover up for Martin. You should get a job with Jay Carney and his lying press shop at the White House. You’ve certainly got the qualifications.

From an old-time reporter who was humping in Vietnam and the demonstrations in DC before you were a thought in anyone’s mind.

One says he took a swing at a bus driver. That gives credence to Zimmerman’s account of the events that night.

So, Trayvon was a “film” buff? I’m wondering if he ever made it to the Cannes “film” festival? I supposed had he been driving a car he would have been a “motorist”, out for a “jaunt” with his homies.
