Someone didn't read the entire article! Unless you're trying to say that Trayvon was schizophrenic or bipolar.

A drunk is more likely to be violent than a pothead, nice stretch there though. Was it the first article that came up when you frantically googled to try to find a link between pot use and burglary or something?

He could have been under the influence. Trayvon's toxicology reports are sealed at this time. It's important evidence including any records about Zimmerman claiming that he had a broken nose and laceration.

Oh give me a break. Are you for real? Do you think smoking pot makes you violent? Or do you think having a history of domestic violence and assault on police officer does?

Disprove this. They don't.
They make it more then known, their outrage when any child is missing of any color including black.
And where is outrage when last year wasn't it that 3 black teens dosed a white boy with a chemical and then set him on fire, did not here anything about that case, whether or not those who commited the crime, are in jail or not, did not here hardly anything mentioned about that case. That was awful.

The reason why sick within itself, because he was white.

Any time anyone goes missing, no matter the race is terrible in and of itself, not just black, there have been the last couple of months so many white's who are missing also, only to have been found dead. Any child, man or women who is missing, is a terrible tragedy, no matter the race.
re: fire story. Until I see more proof (or at least one picture of the victim), I'm not sure what to make of that story.

And let's agree to disagree re: missing children. I suspect you know that you aren't being dishonest, but whatever.

It's a "controlled substance." in higher doses it can impair judgment. If his toxicology reports are positive, then his levels would have to be examined as well. Like it or not, it's rellavent information.

I have to say, the fact that his toxicology hasn't been released does make one think what's the hold up?

Zimmerman's supposedly wasn't taken either...which is also highly questionable...

Precisely and I doubt there should be a trial and probably will not be. In spite of many of your comments there is not one among you that would not have shot a 6 ft3 in strange man that had you on the ground pummeling you if you had the chance. If you say you would not you are a coward or a liar.

So, now we're moving the goal posts?

Glad you put stolen in quotations, because that's unfounded.

re: weed baggy and the pipe. Who cares? I had them myself as a teen (and might still....).

I take it that because you couldn't google that you've given up? lol.

If you're going to make a cross comparison, make sure that it's a consistent one. We can both see that Bieber and Treyvon have 5 fingers...now let's see if they have anything else in common, hence why i wanted you to show me Bieber's weed baggies, weed pipe, multiple suspensions and "stolen" jewelry...

Ummm...we don't even know if that is what happened and there is nothing that proves that Trayvon Martin was the aggressor. All there is is the person who is being accused of murder's word. I personally think there will be a charge and a trial but only time will tell. On the other hand if a strange man in an unmarked vehicle was following you in a car then got out to follow you on foot, how would you feel about it. Anyone who says they woudn't mind is a liar with an agenda.
