Trayvon Martin was killed while serving out marijuana suspension

[23536]

SANFORD, Fla -- . Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin was suspended from school because he was caught with an empty plastic bag with traces of marijuana in it, the boy’s family attorney has confirmed.

Trayvon was killed while serving out the suspension in Sanford Florida, where his father’s girlfriend lives. A community watch volunteer who thought he looked drugged out and suspicious called police and later wound up in a fight with him.

The two scuffled and volunteer George Zimmerman shot Trayvon, killing him. He has not been charged.

. . .

Family spokesman Ryan Julison said the family has always maintained that Trayvon’s suspension had nothing to do with anything violent.

“The fact of the matter is that an empty baggie does not change what occurred,” he said. “The reason he was suspended does not change the fact that if George Zimmerman had stayed in his car, none of this would have happened.”

Was Trayvon Martin a Drug Dealer?

There is fairly direct evidence that Trayvon may have been a small-time drug-dealer.

On Facebook on February 5th, his friend posts on his wall asking to talk business. Trayvon says he doesn’t have a phone available and his friend says, “Damn were u at a nigga needa plant.”

That Facebook url should still work, if anyone is intrepid enough to check it out.

Unless Trayvon was selling Orchids, it seems fairly reasonable to posit that he may have been somewhat well-known among his friends for selling marijuana.

^ and I'll be right behind you. This country's laws are so antiquated and backwards compared to some other places in the world. I don't think we're the worst but we can certainly improve. and no offense, but this george guy is a pussy and deserves to go to prison. He's obviously racist and tried to use that as an excuse for his behavior. He started a fight with a kid and then shot the kid when he started losing. What a fucking asshole.

Murder or self-defence: Trayvon Martin's shooting leaves a nation divided

Murder or self-defence: Trayvon Martin's shooting leaves a nation divided

IT'S the case that has developed into a racial flashpoint. The tragic shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, a resident of Miami-Dade County, Florida, has the entire nation debating question - was it murder or self-defence?

The family and supporters of the dead teenager have gone on the defensive following revelations he had been suspended for marijuana before he was shot to death by Zimmerman, a neighbourhood watch volunteer.

Police also confirmed a report that the watchman claimed Martin was the aggressor, punching him in the nose and smacking his head on a footpath.
Martin, 17, was suspended by Miami-Dade County schools because traces of marijuana were found in a plastic baggie in his book bag, family spokesman Ryan Julison said.

Martin was serving the suspension when he was shot on February 26 by Zimmerman, who was patrolling the neighborhood that Martin was visiting with his father.
Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, and family lawyers blamed police for leaking the information about the marijuana and Zimmerman's claim about the attack to the news media in an effort to demonise the teenager.

"They killed my son and now they're trying to kill his reputation," Ms Fulton told reporters.
The Sanford Police Department insisted there was no authorised release of the new information but acknowledged there may have been a leak.

City Manager Norton Bonaparte Jr said it would be investigated and the person responsible could be fired.
Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump said the link between the youth and marijuana should have no bearing on the probe into his shooting death.

State and federal agencies are investigating, with a grand jury set to convene on April 10.​

Has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he was gunned down by an older, much larger man who was told by the police dispatch to stay in his car. Obviously smear tactic to cover the fact that he was shot for no reason by some rascist fuck.
