    ...aaaaaand Trayvon's illegal drug usage becomes relevant in the trial. In the discussion with the non-emergency dispatcher, GZ said that Trayvon looked suspicious and appeared to be on drugs. and boom, weed was found in his system.

    Again, why post this? You're giving them exactly what they want, attention.

    Broward County Sheriff’s Office Releases PSA Asking People Not To Riot After Zimmerman Verdict…

    (Video at the link)

    And by people he means Trayvon Martin supporters.

    Via Broward Sheriff’s Office:http://www.sheriff.org/posts/post.cfm?id=bf1326e0-d238-0577-7446-a3a4ca5438d3

    Date: July 8, 2013

    PIO Number: 13-7-9

    The Broward Sheriff’s Office, working closely with the Sanford Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies, has coordinated a response plan in anticipation of the verdict.

    Freedom of expression is a constitutional right. While raising your voice is encouraged, using your hands is not. BSO has created a public service announcement with the help of kids from the Jason Taylor Foundation, H.A.N.D.Y. (Helping Abused, Neglected, Disadvantaged Youth) and basketball star James Jones of the championship Miami Heat team urging young people not to let their emotions get the best of them.

    “We don’t have information about a specific event that might take place at the conclusion of the trial, but we encourage everyone to keep any protests peaceful,” Sheriff Scott Israel said.

    Members of the BSO Strategic Investigation Division have been monitoring the pulse of the situation, maintaining open lines of communication with community leaders, civic activists, members of the clergy, as well as local, state and federal agencies.

    most likely to highlight the very damaging effects that media bias can create

    There's plenty of that already. No need to bring further proof of it by quoting some idiots.

    The reason i don't pay attention to that. crap primarily its noise. secondly remember all thr attention jalen rose got because as a kid he felt black duke players were "uncle toms". Well where was the uproar about the fab five receiving hate male from white michigan alumni. i watched the 30 for 30 recently. and couldn't believe i forgot about it

    I don't know. Someone smoking the cheeba doesn't look high unless you get right up in their grill, and even then maybe he was using eye drops. I really don't think smoking weed is relevant here other than that's the catalyst behind his trip to the store.

    Still, weed in your system doesn't drive you to evil. If it's an indica weed is driving you to a big fat nap. If it's sativa your planning on settling in for something brain stimulating. Neither are as dark and dangerous as PCP or some other equivalent.

    The specter of "Reefer Madness" is old and tired. It played no role in making Martin an alleged aggressor.

    exactly... just like how fox news has created a culture where white Christians believe they are being persecuted.

    If Zimmerman doesn't leave the country or go into witness protection, only a matter of time before he is shot dead. The media will deserve much of the blame, deliberately stoking racial strife (with NBC's shameful tape editing to make Zimmerman look racist at the top of the list, along with Spike Lee's tweeting).

    If he is shot dead, it will only be because he made somebody fear for their life.

    great news for vigilantes chasing stoned kids through neighbourhoods.

    let's hope more get the urge to do it. we need more extrajudicial vigilantes to protect the neighbourhoods from stoners!
