And I just read his cousin tweeted him sometime before the incident, asking about Trayvon taking a swing at a bus driver. Or as he put it, "Yu ain't tell me you swung on a bus driver."

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.

The facebook thing is legitimate. Would you want your dead son's facebook hanging around even if your son had died under completely benign circumstances?
That Trayvon could be impugned simply because he looked and acted "black" will just drag this whole affair down further into the mire.

You mean like many impugned Zimmerman when they thought he was white? Trust me, this has already hit rock bottom. Well, I guess absolute bottom will be if there are riots, even if the evidence supports Zimmerman's story and/or he gets a lesser charge (maybe involuntary manslaughter, instead of the 1st degree many of these people want.)
As for the Facebook comment, why would I take it down if I had nothing to hide about my son? I'm sure many of his friends would probably like to go on there and leave last messages to him. And then keep it up as a tribute to him.
