There are always exceptions....

Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin was suspended from school because he was caught with an empty plastic bag with traces of marijuana in it, the boy’s family attorney has confirmed.
Trayvon was killed while serving out the suspension in Sanford Florida, where his father’s girlfriend lives. A community watch volunteer who thought he looked drugged out and suspicious called police and later wound up in a fight with him.
The two scuffled and volunteer George Zimmerman shot Trayvon, killing him. He has not been charged.
Tens of thousands of people are expected to converge on Sanford on Monday for an afternoon rally to protest the killing, which occurred one month ago today.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, the Rev. Al Sharpton and comedian Sinbad are expected to speak at a 5 p.m. special City Commission meeting.
Several busloads of protesters left Miami early Monday to participate.

“Could “Skittles” be some euphemism for some illegal drug like Ecstasy or perhaps rocks of crack cocaine?”
I think you’re on to something here, Uncle.
From chacha.com:
1. Skittles are known as beans, ecstasy, rolls, E, X, Adam, Stacy. A bag of skittles is a bag of unknown drugs that people take.
2. Skittling is the slang term for taking tablets of Coricidin cold medicine. They look like red skittles and can be very dangerous.
3. Dextromethorphan (DXM) is an over-the-counter cough suppressant commonly found in cold medications, and is often called Skittles.
There are always exceptions....
No, they won't. Not after Obama makes a phone call.
How can they call this a “hate crime” when Zimmerman looks like a Mexican? I think he is.
“Trayvon Martin, before and after “mainstream” media doctoring.
Is the Media trying to make Obama’s remarks immune to criticism as this kid is looking more like he could be his son? Like there is no racism implied in his remarks?”
Now that the undoctored pics have been discovered, he looks more like Moochelle!
just wait by the end the MSM will call it “medicinal pot” and not the “bad pot”.
Only that the suspension in question appears to be for drugs.
"Win the Future"? :-)
Even if it's absolutely proven Zimmerman started the fight, based on the evidence released to the public, he is still 100% unquestioningly justified.
That's probably where Zimmerman turned around and began walking back to his car when he was caught from behind, knocked down from a single punch by Trayvon then his head was slammed into the sidewalk several times, leaving him bloody and battered.
Whether there are security cameras in this area is unclear, but it was definitely alluded to with the video report link from Ann Curry's interview.
For a birds-eye view of the location, use a real estate search engine like Zillow or Google earth and locate:
The clubhouse mentioned in the audio tapes in visible by the pool (on Retreat View Circle)
The pass through is visible by centering the map and zooming in to follow the sidewalk off of Twin Trees Lane on the left. It appears the confrontation took place in the area between Twin Trees Lane and Retreat View Circle in the area common to the back doors of each structure.
Hmm, does this ring a bell.....
A judge Monday approved a deal allowing Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis to avoid murder charges and jail time by pleading guilty to a misdemeanor and testifying against two co-defendants.
"What is Truth? said jesting Pilate; and would not stay for an answer"
He lost sight of him and there he was again coming up from behind. Seems he’s the one doing the following. Did he say he was staring at him - couldn’t understand that.
“Heads will explode around here when Zimmerman is charged with manslaughter, again.”
Liar. He has never been previously charged with such a crime. You knowingly made a false statement.
“Right there he moved beyond what his job duties were to do
“
So? What’s your point? That didn’t give Martin the right to attack Zimmerman physically and crack his head open.
OK, that’s fine. Let’s wait until further information comes out on that aspect.
No point in us speculating on that at this time IMO.
And Pravda too.
Too bad, Sinbad. You won’t be funny anymore.
I read in other reports that some tweets to him were saying they wanted to buy some drugs. Did he have an empty bag because he’d sold out?
Yup...I still think Fluke was to get gas prices off the air waves. That didn't work, so they went out hunting and this is the best they could come up with on short notice; the "hot mic" was not planned for and will pose a problem..(ratchet up the heat anyone???)
