That alone is not evidence of racial profiling!

He was not "expelled" from school. He was given a 10 day suspension. And he wasn't kicked out of his mother's home. He was sent to live with his father for a few days during his suspension.

Way to twist facts to suit your thinking.

I am not trying and have never tried to twist the facts. I did make a careless mistake and have corrected it in the original post. I know he was suspended and not expelled.

My question is still why did she send him away?

Does anyone know the facts (vs speculation) about her decision?

You would have to ask George that question.

It is just speculation that all he was doing is just walking through the neighborhood. Likewise, we just have Zimmerman's observation that he was acting suspiciously.

What evidence do you have that is all that he was doing?

You mean like the gang bangers who have Jesus and crosses tattooed all over them while they are out killing people? Even seen a convicts tattoo's? You would think they are all priests...
What he had tattooed means nothing

TM WAS an attempted murderer who was stopped before he could complete his mission..

EDITED: My carelessness: "expelled" changed to "suspended"
Going to live with another parent is kicking out??

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.


[/LEFT]
At autopsy, there was only a trace of THC in his system. No DMX in his system. None.
Meanwhile, Zimmerman was hopped up on uppers and downers.
So...Zimmerman was under the influence. Martin was not.

"Focal patchy yellow discoloration due to MILD (emphasis mine) fatty metamorphosis is present." That is what the report says. The final diagnosis is "NO ABNORMALITY". One would presume the doctor doing the autopsy would have a better idea if Trayvon's liver showed some abnormality that Lance Armstrong's website.

You guys don't get it! Everyone has some abnormalities.
