Smoking marijuana is a criminal act therefore Trayvon Martin was a criminal.

uh oh! Don't tell that to wtc911: he contends that "trayvon did nothing illegal that night" and wants you to post proof of it.

Was it just me or did anyone else watch that 7-11 surveillance video and think Trayvon was gonna stick the place up?

I don’t think that’s marijuana. I think that’s a drug called Khat. I don’t think mj automatically makes you a peacenik though either.

Doesn't the word hashish come from the same root as assassin?

I thought that Khat was usually chewed.

After watching Trayvon fumble with money and meander around the store getting I T and skillets, and then GZ stating that he thought that he was on “drugs or something” da ganja did play some part in this incident.

Not to mention the tweets where on of TM’s cronies is trying to buy weed from him...

Yep, he’s an angel alright./s

I was in a Quik Trip (similar to a 7-11) in my security police uniform on the way to work without my pistol when two guys decided to rob the cashier. I quickly ducked behind some chips, lest they think me armed. I was only a policeman at work, unlike most cops who are always on duty and we kept our weapons in a safe at work. They were so high they probably never even noticed me, but it gave me a scare.

Agreed, and the defense will say Jorge Zimmerman was walking back to his truck when Trayvon jumped him. Two witnesseswill testify that Trayvon was on top of Jorge beating his head into the concrete when Jorge fired the fatal shot. I wonder how many times a nice mellow doper can pound you head into the concrete before you defend yourself?
The defense will call the two reporters who doctored the 911 calls to make Jorge seen like an out of control racist. Its just me but Jorge will beat the state rap, and then Holder will immediately file Federal Civil rights charges against Jorge. Reason 1,346,984 to vote Obama’s butt out this November.

He had committed a crime by smoking dope.

THC levels in his bloodstream showed legal intoxication.

He was under the influence of an illegal drug.

These are the facts.

Thank you for providing the 'alternative' view and giving us a chance to remark on it.

1. You can’t judge someone for something you have done or still do.

By 'you', she means OTHER PEOPLE, not herself...of course. Her whole article is about her 'judgement' of the public reaction.

2. Marijuana Does Not make you aggressive.

No, but living up to the GANGSTA CULTA does, and a brother gotta smoke.

3. People use drugs and alcohol use to paint imperfect pictures of people.

People use drugs and alcohol to paint a perfect picture of an imperfect world. If an alcohol or drug abuser is seeing everything through a haze, then how can they complain when told their 'view' of reality isn't 'perfect', and that maybe others who can see 'clearly' are just pointing out the truth?

4. Drug use of any type is irrelevant because Trayvon was minding his own business while was he was on his way home.

I am sure every drunk driver who has killed innocent pedestrians agrees with you, young lady.

The real (unasked) question here is... Had the juvenile delinquent (legally correct term, by the way) not had any trace of drugs in his system, would he still have sucker punched Zimmerman and then continued to beat him possibly to death?

Unfortunately for you, missy, the answer is YES.

It’s a shame that someone who is capable of writing coherent sentences, as this author is, has nothing but nonsense to convey.

You are being very generous with attributing coherent sentences to the author. Take this beaut, for example:

...the point is that he was in his own zone minding his own business while he was on his way to his place of residence

Yikes.

"in his own zone" is the same thing as "minding his own business"... redundant.

"to his place of residence" = home. Wordy like a police report. And it wasn't his place of residence.

"I consider that totally disrespectful for anyone to slander anyone else’s name..."

When I hear phraseology like this, I know something really stupid is about to be said.

Double-standards always exist for blacks and Democrats but never for whites.

That's not true. If you are a white Democrat in power, you get all kinds of mulligans.

My youngest son (23) has not even heard of or followed this case... when I explained it to him, and told him young treyvon went to the store for skittles and tea, he looked at me and said, “ Pot and speed, ehhhh..”.... even he knows what that term meant....

“Regardless of what they say, I know in my heart that wasn’t the person he was.”

Well that closes the case right there! Her feelings, her magical intuition, her deep introspection of the human condition, and skillful generalization toxicology... what else is there to know?

Oh I don't know, perhaps Ursula would entertain and perceive some value in the revelation of FACTS? The judicial system has traditionally been the place where this could occur. She should check into it right after consulting her magic 8-ball (not a crack reference).

Wait a minute! Was this actually written by Debbie Whatshername Schultz? Something in the extreme level of idiocy, the incoherent utterings of a buffoon that seems her style...

He didn’t want any trouble, but trouble sure sniffed him out like a rabid bloodhound.

She's not trying to sway anyone's opinion now is she?
