Trayvon Martin video analysis

The Conservative Treehouse has some hilarious Trayvon Martin 7-11 video analysis. Did Trayvon know the three weirdos who are seen in the store after Martin walks out of camera view but doesn’t actually leave? Highly recommended viewing.

I am more likely to think, given the otherwise serendipitous nature of their meeting, that it was a rendezvous.

Martin left for a 7-11, hanged around a bit looking like he can't decide what he wants, then went outside once some people showed up (obviously not wanting to be on cam for the actual stuff) then left.

Completely ridiculous. There's no evidence that Trayvon knew these guys, or had any interaction with them.

Listen, it looks like Trayvon just bought some skittles and iced tea. That's it. He may have intended to use the stuff to mix up some lean, but there isn't anything illegal about that (stupid, but not illegal).

Anyone heard of this?

For me the most interesting thing is the 40-minute time lag between Martin's leaving the store and his encounter with Zimmerman. Given that the store is (apparently) half a mile away, that's a long time.

What was Martin up to? Probably we will never know, but it clearly contradicts the MSM narrative that Martin was simply out getting a snack.

"He may have intended to use the stuff to mix up some lean, but there isn't anything illegal about that (stupid, but not illegal)."

Lean is made with cough medicine that has codeine. For that you need a prescription (schedule II controlled substance). If that was fraudulently obtained (and of course it would have been; nobody's using it because they are sick) then it was indeed illegal.

"There's no evidence that Trayvon knew these guys, or had any interaction with them."

Right, it is unknown what relationship if any there was. But it be stupid not to check this out.

So what is it exactly that you found "hilarious"? And I do mean *exactly*. I take it you meant "hilarious" in a derisive sense. So you at least ought to have the guts to say -- again exactly -- why. You know, so we can all have a look at your reasoning. You're up for that, right dude?

[eah]

I guess you're working on that explanation. Just to remind you: What did you mean by "hilarious"? And once you've clarified that: What *specifically* did you find "hilarious" about their analysis?

You can make up all kinds of explanations for this. It is possible that Martin went to the store because he just wanted to get out of the house and was in no hurry to get back. He had been suspended from school after all, and he may just have wanted to get out. He was walking in the rain. I could see him stopping places with some shelter and talking with his girl friend on the phone to avoid going back home.

Dan, the cough medicines used to make 'lean' are OTC, probably grandfathered in.

[Fact checker]

Rob, the authentic lean is made with codeine. Codeine is obtained legally in the USA via prescription. I believe you are talking about the inauthentic version which uses DXM instead of codeine. DXM is found in OTC cough syrup such as robitussen and it's recreational consumption is commonly referred to as robo-tripping.
