I hadn't heard that. I did read that he had gotten suspended from school for being caught with a marijuana baggie the very same day he was shot. Seems like his father tried to lie about why he was suspended, but a family spokesman later confirmed it. |
I'm guessing it was something that happened a few days or weeks before he was shot (it was posted Feb 21st, 5 days before the shooting.) It's becoming pretty obvious that Trayvon wasn't the image of perfection that his parents and the media are trying to portray. What's sad is it has taken about a month for this stuff to start coming out. And even sadder that a lot of people won't care because it doesn't help in their "race war."
It's also pretty obvious that this has been the objective from the start of this incident. The only pics that have been officially released were from 3-5 years ago, adding to the misconception that Trayvon was only a little kid, not the athletic 6'3" young man. The media have been referring to Zimmerman as white, only recently has it come out he is Hispanic (though some still refer to him as a white Hispanic.) Trayvon's parents deleted his Facebook account (not sure if they deleted his Twitter, too.) It's kinda sickening if you ask me.
