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.

In my family we call them the cousins.
Loser.
Some kids will wear hoodies if it is 90 out. I teach at a rural school, and we have a pretty strict dress code, including no hoodies/jackets etc. I frankly think it’s insane, but that’s the dress code. It’s a non-stop battle to keep the hoodies out, even if it’s really hot out.
“Martin thought the guy was on drugs. The 911 call.”
Just exactly where did you get the information that Trayvon thought that Cap. Zimmerman was on drugs?
We know Zimmerman as an officer in the Neighborhood Watch could not have been on drugs.
That isn’t Trayvon. be careful what you post, confusing people’s identites in this matter can serve no good purpose.
That is a middle schooler from Georgia.
LOL...bof....
Heads will explode around here when Zimmerman is charged with manslaughter, again. Then the place will fall apart when he gets convicted. Pot, tattoos, gold teeth, etc. None of that will matter.
This is Trayvon Martin of Florida. A sure way to identify him is by the visible scar on his right cheek under his right eye seen in all three of these pics. Another way is by his distinctive front teeth also visible in all three pics.
I tell you: if more of this story unravels, poor ole Obama is going to end up with an iced tea meeting with Zimmerman.
Got any evidence of that?
This...and Tray’s mom is on a roll it seems....getting TradeMArks for using his name....
(But the school he was suspended from has all ready said that Trayvon was not suspended because of drugs or fighting.)
.....possession of a baggie with pot residue is a far cry from being tardy as was presented prior....or being in an area not allowed...also previously stated....so what are they hiding?..and why?
Trayvor’s family’s initial lie that the suspension was for being tardy ,when this hit the news, Trayvon’s family immediately had his school records sealed, now his family is admitting that the suspension was for possession.
.Ok so .....let me speculate a little here........if Martin was high during the altercation, (which we don’t know yet) it would explain why he was meandering through the neighborhood looking at stuff, and may have intensified his own sense of suspicion.......or.... He could also have been looking for or waiting for a drug connection so he could get hooked up. That would explain why he was willing to go out in the rain.....
Right now it’s speculation. It will depend on that toxicology report....... If it comes back positive, then Zimmerman’s phone call to dispatch gets more credibility.... Remember he was saying it looked like there was something wrong with him, like he was on drugs.
and btw.....The mother is the one that launched a civil suit against Zimmerman..... That means the gloves are off....could assume at this point her statement..”they’ve killed my son and now they’re trying to kill his reputation.”... is meant to try to shut people up and stop investigations.
Additionally....
MARCH 26—The mother of Trayvon Martin has filed two applications TO SECURE TRADEMARKS containing her late son’s name, records show.
“Sabrina Fulton is seeking marks for the phrases “I Am Trayvon” and “Justice for Trayvon,” according to filings made last week with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In both instances, Fulton is seeking the trademarks for use on “Digital materials, namely, CDs and DVDs featuring Trayvon Martin,” and other products.”

The March 21 USPTO applications, each of which cost $325, were filed by an Orlando, Florida law firm representing Fulton.

Traces of marijuana. UN-FN-REAL!!! Just like the comment “white Hispanic” the media wants this to blow up into a race issue.
Could be drugs AND assaulting a bus driver.
does anyone realize how HOT florida is this time of year? Why would anyone wear a sweatshirt in the heat?
Note the video image at 1:30 coincides with Zimmerman's attorney's suggestion to wait for all the evidence to be released. The image focuses in on a sign posted on the iron gate entrance:
"WARNING Closed Circuit Security Cameras Monitored and Recorded 24 hours a Day"
Perhaps there is more evidence coming.
Also interesting is the media's incredulous response to former CNN Anchor, Joe Oliver (just happens to be black) who has been on the media circuit to defend his friend George Zimmerman.
Heads are going to explode? Why? We are used to people being railroaded by the left in this country. But I suspect your head is going to explode the more this story unravels...
There are none so blind and those who will not see.
You are a fool. He never was charged with manslaughter, otherwise he would have had to pay bond to get out of jail while awaiting his court date. This has been explained to you.
Knock it off, your nonsense is actually dangerous to an innocent man.
With the Reverend’s Jackson and Sharpton fanning the flames, is there any way to see this other than racist? If the picture of Martin has been doctored by the media, that is criminal also. A couple of Americans, one a wanna be cop and the other in and out of trouble with the law have been politicized by the usual suspects using the race card for extortion.
