* The teen was suspended from school three times * He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue * Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry * Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness * Tearful parents say their son is now the victim of a smear campaign * New poll shows 73 percent of Americans think Zimmerman should be arrested
Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.
It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.
The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.
Earlier, he had been suspended for skipping school and showing up late to class. And most recently, in February, he was suspended again when officials found a 'marijuana pipe' and an empty baggie with traces of the drug.
The fresh claims are likely to be seized upon by supporters of George Zimmerman who say the teenager launched an unprovoked attack on the neighbourhood watch volunteer moments before Trayvon was shot dead.
The revelation about the suspension in October, in a school report obtained by the Herald, was condemned today by Trayvon's family as part of a campaign to smear their dead son.
The boy's mother said: 'They killed my son and now they're trying to kill his reputation.'

“He insisted they did not belong to him....If they were stolen they DID NOT belong to him.”
Not in any of the accounts I’ve read.
He said they were given to him, and when he said he would not tell them by who, he was admitting that he actually knew who gave them to him.
Personally I call BS on the entire story. I believe the tool was his, and the jewelery had been stolen by him. My point is, why did the school just let the matter drop?
I’ve read that he was walking slowly in the rain and acting high. At least that is what one of the transcripts from the 911 call read.
Maybe the school let it drop because no one reported missing jewelry.
My guess is an “illegal search”....But it certainly appears that this young man’s behavior was getting out of control one step at a time with very few consiquences.
Often being suspended from school is considered a reward rather than a punishment by the child. Only the parents see it differently. Since dad took him from his mother’s home and he was spending the suspension at dad’s girl friend’s house, it may have been an even bigger reward for Trey.
Reports earlier said that Trayvon had called his girlfriend because he was scared of Zimmerman.
I think he called his girlfriend because he wanted her to listen while he administered a beat down on Zimmerman.
By golly, they sure have made a case that Trayvon may indeed be Obamas son.
The kid does something, and gets away with it - they do something bigger. They do something bigger, and gets away with it - they do something even bigger.
The pattern repeats and continues until somebody is laying in a pool of their own blood - either a victim, or the ‘child.’ Everybody that lets them get away with it IS an accomplice.

Simple....
He found them before they were lost.
He just bought the jewelry for his wife, Morgan Fairchild....yeah, that’s the ticket!
Yup, this is what happens when boys are raised by their mothers. When the kids get to be too much they are shipped out to their fathers. It is usually too late by then.
Word is he assaulted a white female bus driver, but that is unconfirmed.
That would make 2 known premediated racist assaults he committed if confirmed.
What’s the big secret with the driver anyways. Don’t school buses have vid cameras now?
Seem like a deliberate conspiracy to deny the driver’s civil and human rights.
Verbal or physical assault?
Parker wanted to know why Zimmerman was not arrested. According to what I understand, the SA’s office told the SPD officers not to because the on-scene evidence didn't support an arrest; that is — no probable cause. [Zimmerman was handcuffed, put in a cruiser until things were sorted out, and then released.]
So, I have to conclude several things about this incident:
1. The Black community, for the most part, are racists that will unite to hate “Whitey” — even when that person is another ethnic group (that is, Hispanic).
2. That Blacks have an inbred view of police as “oppressors” and view cops, the law, and legal system as their natural enemies.
3. That for Blacks, everything is all about race and they are itching to play the Race Card at every opportunity.
4. That Blacks believe they deserve special “rights” under the law and that “rights” should be denied to all others.
There's already been one person who lost their job ( cop in NO - somewhere like that - Drudge has it) over this issue. Free speech is defined by liberals as meaning "freedom for liberals to say whatever they want to say". So the 27% who aren't drinking liberal kool aid is a fairly high number.
If YOU got a call from your local MSM poll taker about how you feel about this issue, would you be strong enough to tell the truth if your job was on the line - and you had children to feed?
I'm thrilled it's ONLY 73%...
“I hope the Grand Jury issues a “NO Bill” on this one.”
Seems that I read on another thread here on FR this morning, that the special prosecutor appointed by the Florida governor is going to -bypass- a grand jury investigation?
I cannot confirm that with a link, just saw it and mentioning it here.
Seems like the special prosecutor may have a pre-determined agenda here. Who needs the uncertainty of a grand jury, anyway...?
