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.
Was it for his personal use, or was Martin a drug dealer as was suggested elsewhere on the alt-right internet?
When Zimmerman said on the 911 call that he thought Martin was on drugs, maybe he was right? The police have not released the results of Martin’s toxicology report.
A bit out-topic: students are suspended for using marijuana, but not anti-depressants?
Kind of exposes society's double standards on the topic of artificial happiness.

@HS: "was Martin a drug dealer?" "Zimmerman ... thought Martin was on drugs, maybe he was right?"
For the sake of argument, let's say Martin was a drug dealer and intoxicated at the time of his death. I don't see how that's relevant to the legal question of whether Zimmerman is criminally liable for killing him.

Larry Auster is reporting he could have been suspended for hitting a bus driver.

That's because big pharma has lots of money to lobby, and your local neighborhood drug dealer doesn't have as much clout.

This is going to blow up in Obama's face BIG TIME.
And everyone else's face too.
Black teenage drug dealer dies --- no longer such a compelling story, is it?
Fucking idiots.

I never believed the part of the story where Trayvon was just out for candy and drink. LOL what is he like 10? I've suspected it was drug related. The MSM is gonna get burned badly with this story when all is revealed. It's one thing to champion gays as oppressed but the black cause has proven to be a failure repeatedly. That's part of the reason behind the pro-gay zeal.

Perhaps he went out because he had the munchies.

"Like they were "burned" with the Duke case?" - Half Sigma
The MSM's narrative is beginning to unravel and this case is far more nationally consqeuntial than the Duke one. A media circus, race relations, gun laws, presidential politics, and Florida (the most important swing state in America) all wrapped up in one.

as more and more negative-Treyvon, pro-Zimmerman facts come out, this story will quietly drop from the MSM. In a month, it will be as though it never happened. Unless the black "leaders" are such idiots as to keep it alive. Which they might be. THe white MSM will realize that this is not working in favor of their agenda, and drop it.

If the toxicology report comes back positive (for MJ, or whatnot), no way Zimmerman is convicted. Prosecuted? Probably, and it'll financially cripple him.
I'd posted on ONESTDV the other day that I thought Zimmerman shot while he was on the ground. If they report that powder burns were found on Trayvon's hands, this just reinforces Zimmerman.
The one weakness that I see is the girlfriend's assertion that Trayvon said he was walking away, and someone yelled at him. We don't have that recording (to my knowledge), so it is possible that part of Zimmerman's story is fabricated (the part where he was walking back to his car, and Martin hit him from behind), but everything else is making this look like justified homicide.
The one lesson we should take from this is "Don't escalate a confrontation." If Zimmerman did ask Trayvon what he was doing here, and Martin said "Going to my dad's", I can't see where a confrontation arises.

I don't see how the MSM will pay any price for distorting the facts so badly. It will just go down the memory hole and they'll pretend it never happened, like blaming Sarah Palin for the Giffords shooting. They'll just change the subject.

The thing about this case unraveling in the media is that all the information to support the claim of self defense was available 3 weeks ago. The MSM simply ignored it and pushed a false narrative. It didn't take a genius to see they were broadcasting photos of Trayvon when he was 12 rather than 17.
