Sounds ridic, doesn't it? That's how your posts are coming across to me. :\


Teenagers experiment with pot and worse, doesn't make them horrible gangsters or that their parents are doing a lousy job raising them. It's so easy to pass judgment from behind a computer screen.

Obviously you are using two different standards for Zimmerman vs Martin.
Why are you picking on The Child

He was a typical teen, Weren't you or a bunch of your high school friends suspended from school multiple times on those rare occasions you showed up, vandalize school property, smoke pot and bring the baggie and pipe to school, keep women's jewelry in your book bag to help a buddy he refused to name, carry around a screwdriver in case your bicycle broke.

I'll skip social media and mere allegations.

It seems you have impossible standards for a teen and his parents to meet.

I don't know what rock some of you live under, but teens today do drugs, drink, and have sex.

If there was no point, then there was nothing to prove wrong. Your trip up on your own nonsense.

Not in the article you cited, which now has bylines added.

All that poor man did was ask two black girls to stop fighting on his truck. The group of misfits who were with her took that as an excuse to beat the man nearly to death.
You realize the "61 year old man" and the Waffle House" incident are totally irrelevant to George Zimmerman, whose ability to keep his mug in the media is astounding, and also to Matt Apperson and Trayvon Martin, right?

Since Martin never attended college, it's not possible to know if he would have been more productive, more problematic or even attended at all.

So, unless you can show me where Zimmerman had suspensions and problems in high school, we can pretty much safely say that Martin was the bigger school problem.
I "suspect" the baggie was used for a bologna sandwich. This is all nonsense. The kid might have been a bit of a goofball but Zimmerman is mean and nasty and killed a kid out for a snack because Zimmerman keeps looking for some kind of glory. This is the kind of guy who should have just joined a volunteer fire department somewhere and waited to become a hero, but he'd probably start setting fires for the glory he got when he helped put them out.

As far as taking a cache of pot to school? It was a bag with residue, where do you get this thinking?

Obviously I'm not using two different standards, care to point it out.


I believe that GZ did indeed get away with murder.

GZ was talking more potent drugs, even if he had a script, we don't know if he abused.





George Zimmerman Took Drugs With Violent Side Effects When He Killed Trayvon (DETAILS) | Global Grind

People generally take a sleeping pill to go to sleep. (Temazepam)
Unlikely he would take this before leaving for the store.

People who take Adderall generally take it earlier in the day.

People who take these medications do not generally go kill people.
If Adderall made people homicidal, schools would be bloody mayhem.
