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?

“For instance, a few days before he was killed, Trayvon was suspended from school for ten days.

Still, Trayvon had nonviolent behavioral issues in school, and on the day he was killed, he had been suspended for 10 days from Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School in North Miami-Dade. “He was not suspended for something dealing with violence or anything like that. It wasn’t a crime he committed, but he was in an unauthorized area [on school property],” Martin said, declining to offer more details. Before that, Trayvon attended Miami Carol City High School near his mother’s home in Miami Gardens.

There has been very little follow-up in investigating exactly why Trayvon was suspended for such a long period of time for what seems to be the relatively minor offense of “being in an unauthorized area.” In most schools, something like that would be a detention, or one-day, in school suspension at most. Not ten days.”

Well, let's see. Dad wasn't concerned that he hadn't come come that night, nor was he concerned that the cousin hadn't seen him, so he assumed he'd been arrested. What parent automatically jumps to that conclusion unless that's been a habit. He was running his mouth at Zimmerman with "what's your problem" so that was probably habit. He was probably running his mouth about the drugs at school and he'd had contraband in his backpack in the past. Habits. It takes an involved parent to redirect bad habits. He obviously didn't have such.
