It is not relevant to the facts of the case...but does disprove the media claims that Trayvon was a "model student"

As I have said- I believe Zimmerman should be arrested from what I know of the case... but this has been taken into overdrive and he has been given trial by media when the facts are still murky...

"traces of marijuana residue" =/= to "marijuana dealing"


CaDan would say "stop lying".

Academically he was apparently very good and this doesn't exactly make him a horrible delinquent, but totally agreed that he doesn't have to have hagiographies written about him for the person who shot him in the chest under unclear circumstances to be arrested.

Nathan- as usual you are reasonable and I agree...I also want to point out how Zimmerman has been represented as white. He is a Latino or  a Mestizo... once again- this does not change the case at all but it shows media looking for a better story

Yeah that sounds more like he had some in his bag at one time for personal use. Hardly proof he was a dealer.

Thing is, admitting that Zimmerman is not in fact a white man doesn't even make the whole race angle go away, since it's entirely possible and indeed rather common for racial friction to exist between blacks and Hispanics. Sadly, the pushing of the white-black dichotomy has damaged the credibility of the entire subject of race relations in this case, which is definitely something that deserves to at least be discussed seriously, among people who aren't already inclined to interpret it that way.

What does smoking weed have to do with being a model student? You can definitely do both. I am appalled by this defense of Zimmerman by character assassination of Martin. That bastard should fry.

What in the world gives you cause to think that, sbane?  Tongue

I updated my post on the Obamacare thread by the way on the tax versus fine thing. SCOTUS has given us a clue today. Check it out.

The subject line is incorrect, there is nothing in article that says Martin was dealing drugs, let's keep the facts straight.

It has also come out that Zimmerman pushed his fiancee because she wouldn't give him some papers he wanted, so I think that past history of violence is far more relevant to this case.

Because apparently if someone smokes pot, they're a violent criminal.

ENOUGH! Stop already! Let the poor guy RIP! It's disgusting how some people feel like they can just walk over someone's grave spreading hate.

I for one believe that all marijuana users are dangerous criminals who deserve to be shot.

Again, whatever you say about Martin, the fundamental fact in this case is: Zimmerman started the confrontation, Zimmerman was armed while Martin wasn't, and Zimmerman fatally shot Martin.  Period.  I don't care if Martin was a delinquent (and there's no real evidence he was): even if he was, it doesn't change the previous sentence.

I'm not certain of that one; I'd like to see some specifics first.

As I have said- I believe Zimmerman should be arrested from what I know of the case... but this has been taken into overdrive and he has been given trial by media when the facts are still murky...

Indirectly, it was quite relevent to the case. Martin was videotaped at his school spray painting the letters "WTF." The next day, his backpack was searched to confiscate any spray paint. While they did not find any spray paint, they did find some women's jewelry, and a screwdriver they described as a burglary tool. They, also, found a bag with traces of marijuana residue.

Everybody has just assumed that Zimmerman "racially profiled" Martin. Another possibility is that there was burglary suspect in the neighborhood whom was tall, Black, and very thin, and Zimmerman noticed he fit the description. Another possibility is that Martin was in fact a burglar, and was acting in a suspicious manner. Another possibility is that Martin fit the description of a burglar in Martin's father's neighborhood because Martin was in fact that burglar.

 I guess Floridian dealers are practicing new cost saving techniques since the Recession.
