That can't be right. A black person who doesn't agree with Sharpton or Jackson! A black person who says black on black crime is a threat! He MUST be an Uncle Tom. Everyone knows that black people don't have the ability to think things like this!
Are you people really this dense or simply play it on the internet? There is a narritave that is being created for this story in the media. Angelic Black boy minding his business walking from the store for some Skittles and iced tea with a hoodie on gets blasted away by an overweight overzealous neighborhood watch guy with a past.
The issue of the suspension came up when friends and family were asked about it. One teacher outright lied and the others said it had nothing to do with violence, technically the truth but an evasive answer.
Now we know different, there are also supposed pics of this kid with gold teeth and apparel some consider gangster. Now does any of this mean he deserves to be killed? Of course not but it pokes hole in the story that the media has painted (and which you evidently believe). This calls into question everything else that has been reported in this case that can be deemed favorable to Trayvon.
Edward, you hit a homerun again. These folks just don't get it. Or, rather, they do get it, but they insist on being obtuse in the name of protecting this allegedly innocent young black boy with a bag of Skittles.
Do you know anything about neighborhood watch patrols?
Well, anything I write will be redundant, since I've already posted over and over that the rules clearly state that you do not use force, pursue a suspect or carry a weapon.
Whether or not the kid smoked weed, or not is irrelevant. Whether he was suspended from school for a baggie with traces of weed is irrelevant. What we should be worrying about is that the fact that this 17 year old was fatally shot, and we should be trying to figure out why something as senseless as this happened. From everything I've heard thus far, I am tending to side with Trayvon. Nothing I've heard so far indicates that Trayvon was up to something malicious.
The toxicology reports have probably just got in.....prompting the families lawyer to release the revelation of the suspension for a marijuana bag....why else would they voluntarily do that.
Very valid points.
Any Trayvon Defender's care to opine?
I'm begging you....please....tell us what you think of this assertion. And if proven true, will you come back and apologize for being so gullible, naive, and/or ignorant?
