    I hadn't seen that. I knew the paramedics didn't have seek any more attention. But I'd be interested to know if he did indeed need medical attention after that.

    What you posted weren't facts about the case at all. It was information from a probable fake twitter account, and other crap that had no bearing on the night of the incident.

    Wait wait wait. Bigtexxx and all his conservative ******* friends were the ones spewing crap about "everyone" getting rights. Now that he apparently dealt drugs (drugs should be legal anyway...) he lost all his rights and deserves to get shot?

    This is ridiculous. Zimmerman still has white bigots defending him and his rights despite all the information coming out on him. Yet as soon as Trayvon gets identified as a "thug" he loses all his rights? What the hell is this?

    The racism is now apparent. If "the black" is not a role model and doesn't have a 100% clean record he deserves to get shot by the white/hispanic man. I see the direction this thread is going in now and I'm sad racial bias and stereotyping has already consumed the majority of posters here.

    What a ridiculous post. Who are these people who are allegedly saying he deserved to die for selling drugs?

    Did Zimmerman directly disobey a 911 operator? If he had just listened to the 911 operator would someone be dead? At least it is man slaughter.

    Edit: I don't recall a 911 operator giving him an order to do anything. I can't answer your second question because the timeline is so muddled.

    At least it is man slaughter if the story you cling to is true. If the truth is that he got jumped while going to his truck and was being beaten while calling for help before shooting Trayvon then it isn't manslaughter. It isn't murder. It's self defense.

    I just heard the tape of the "anonymous" source. Pretty convincing.

    Does anyone know if the toxicology report on Martin has been released? The results of that report may make the mar1juana angle and his possession of stolen jewelry more relevant.

    While we still do not some key facts, this may well turn out to a terrible case of a mutual misunderstanding.

    ....and the details keep coming out in the media.

    this time, it appears Martin was caught with stolen jewelry and a burglary tool. :rolleyes:

    So to sum up the day's news details, Trayvon is an alleged drug dealer, burglar and violent bus driver beater. Not a good day for the race card hurlers around here.

    Fight claims, pot put Fla. teen's side on defense
    Krop classmates arrive at school wearing black to protest Trayvon case

    SANFORD -- Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin was suspended from school in October in an incident in which he was found in possession of women’s jewelry and a screwdriver that a schools security staffer described as a “burglary tool,” The Miami Herald has learned.

    Trayvon, who claimed that an unnamed friend had given him the jewelry, was not disciplined because of the discovery, but was instead suspended for graffiti, according to a Miami-Dade Schools Police report obtained by The Miami Herald.

    A lawyer for the dead teen’s family acknowledged Trayvon had been suspended for graffiti, but said the family knew nothing about the jewelry and the screwdriver, calling the information in the report an attempt to “demonize” the youth.

    According to the report, on Oct. 21 staffers monitoring a security camera at Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School spotted Trayvon and two other students writing “W.T.F.,” an acronym for “What the f---,” on a hallway locker, according to schools police. The security employee, who knew Trayvon, confronted the teen and looked through his bag for the graffiti marker.

    Trayvon’s backpack contained 12 pieces of jewelry, in addition to a watch and a large flathead screwdriver, according to the report, which described the screwdriver as a burglary tool.

    Trayvon was asked if the jewelry, which was mostly women’s rings and earrings, belonged to his family or a girlfriend.

    “Martin replied it’s not mine. A friend gave it to me,” according to the report. Trayvon declined to name the friend.

    School police impounded the jewelry and sent photos of the items to detectives at Miami-Dade police for further investigation.

    “Martin was suspended, warned and dismissed for the graffiti,” according to the report prepared by Miami-Dade Schools Police.

    That suspension was followed four months later by another one, in February, in which Trayvon was caught with an empty plastic bag with traces of mar1juana in it, the boy’s family’s attorney has confirmed. A schools police report obtained by The Miami Herald specifies two items: a bag with mar1juana residue and a “mar1juana pipe.”

    The suspension was the third for the teen. On Monday, the family also acknowledged Trayvon had earlier been suspended for tardiness and truancy.

    The reports of the suspensions surfaced as a more complicated portrait of Trayvon began to emerge Monday. Trayvon was shot to death in Sanford on Feb. 26 during a scuffle with neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman. He was suspended from school at the time.

    Reacting to the new schools police report, Ben Crump, an attorney for the parents, said they “never heard anything like this about a bag of jewelry….And anyway, it’s completely irrelevant to what happened Feb. 26. They never heard this, and don’t believe it’s true. If it were true, why wouldn’t they call the parents? Why wasn’t he arrested?”

    “We think everybody is trying to demonize him.”

    Trayvon, who was 17 when he died, had never been arrested, he said.

    His mother, Sybrina Fulton, said her son never had any problems with gangs or the police. In fact, she said, when she transferred him out of Carol City High School to be closer to home, the school wanted him to stay at Carol City because they liked him and he was a good student, she said.

    Didn't realize BigTexxx and his conservative friends would actually be able to overtake a thread in the D&D. Seems like he's passionate enough about incarcerating "the black" to keep on going.

    And now media bias is ultimately going to destroy the case for both sides. Above all the sad displays of bigotry in this thread; this is the shabbiest reporting I have seen in a while coming from the media. Absolutely horrible.

    Sorry, I made a mistake in not being clearer. He was found in possession of presumably stolen jewelry at school back in October. I did not mean to suggest that he may have had any stolen property on him the night of the shooting.

    Many sources have reported the folling
    So your first statement is wrong.

    If there was someone who saw the whole thing well I would believe it a lot more than the killer. If that witness saw the guy getting beat up why not go try to help him. Is he scared of a 6-3 160 pound kid?
