He was obviously getting into trouble. Don't think it's very relevant, though.
It's relevant when the media is showing pictures of a baby face kid as opposed to a 17 year old who had an obvious fascination with thug "culture".
I don't think Martin was a murderous gang banger, but he certainly wasn't the harmless pre-pubescent kid that the media wanted us to believe initially. His mom kicking him out was evidence to that exact fact.
And again, I've said all along that I think Zimmerman should have been charged and convicted of criminally negligent homicide.
I think it is very relevant. People are assuming all Trayvon was doing was walking home minding his on business. What if he was not?
Unfortunately, because of the circumstances, no one will ever know what was in Trayvon mind before he was shot. The only other witness (Zimmerman) said his behavior was suspicious.
It really doesn't matter what Trayvon was doing or planning to do. I can look at anyone and make up a thousand different scenarios of what's going on in their mind or what they might do next. I've seen several people doing very weird things that I questioned in my mind. If you see a guy running top speed down the street wearing a jeans and a t-shirt looking behind him constantly, you'd watch him for a bit. You could see a guy checking behind him constantly and think "Hmm, he's probably making sure no one's around before he commits a crime." In reality, he could be doing that, or looking around to make sure he's not being followed. You don't know. Which is why it doesn't matter.
To create Lean, a popular drink originated from Houston Texas, you require the following for the original formula:
-Promethazine w/Codeine VC <- Sizzurp (active ingredient)
-Original Sprite Soda <- Mixing ingredient (although different flavors of sprite are now used, such as sprite remix)
-Jolly rancher candy <- Flavor additive
Put it all in a styrofoam cup and enjoy. The codeine is mainly responsible for the euphoric feeling after drinking lean. Promethazine causes motor skill impairment, lethargy, extreme drowsiness, as well as a disassociative feeling from all other parts of the body, specifically the stomach and digestive system. If it doesn't have promethazine w/ Codeine, it isn't real sizzurp.
The mixed drink combination known as "lean", is normally the color purple, due the added ingredient sizzurp, which is originally a dark purple syrup. There are other colors of sizzurp which can be added to create lean, but the purple is the true sizurp
Lean does not contain ANY form of alcohol, crushed pills, or other liquids in general.
Dat lean got my thoed.
Maybe not. It's supposed to make a purple drink and the grape jolly ranchers are the candy of choice.
A question I have not seen discussed is why did Trayvon;s mother kick him out? Sure she sent him to live with his father after getting expelled from school. But why?
Was he such a troubled kid that his mother could not handle him anymore?
Why would any mother kick her minor child out of the house?
Certainly not a reason to justify GZ racially profiling, then killing him. TM might've been "troubled", but not as DISTURBED as GZ is.

From The American Spectator website:
....
Trayvon Martin was not from Sanford, the town north of Orlando where he was shot in 2012 and where a jury acquitted Zimmerman of murder charges Saturday. Martin was from Miami Gardens, more than 200 miles away, and had come to Sanford to stay with his father’s girlfriend Brandy Green at her home in the townhouse community where Zimmerman was in charge of the neighborhood watch. Trayvon was staying with Green after he had been suspended for the second time in six months from Krop High School in Miami-Dade County, where both his father, Tracy Martin, and mother, Sybrina Fulton, lived.
He was on drugs. His liver showed damage from doing them.
[LEFT]Among its reports, Trayvon Martin’s drug use, explaining how the Skittles and Arizona Watermelon Fruit Juice Cocktail drink he carried that night are ingredients that, when mixed with dextromethorphan (DXM) cough syrup, create “Lean”, a concocted high which can cause psychosis and aggression over the longer term. According to the autopsy report, Martin’s liver showed damage consistent with DXM abuse.

That information is nowhere in the autopsy report.
Was Trayvon "kicked out", or did his mom just think a change of venue might be helpful during this suspension?
