(Vanity) Info that has been omitted from Trayvon Martin Shooting that I would like to know:
The mind of ChiefJayStrongbow | 3/28/2012 | ChiefJayStrongbow

My basic question is: What was Trayvon doing in the gated community where he was shot?

Was he cutting through the neighborhood on his way home? He was obviously on foot ... where's the proximity to his house?

Was he on his way to visit friends? Surely, you would have thought one of his friends would have come forward to say he had just spoke to him on his cell phone and he would be over shortly.

Was he on his way to purchase 'weed' or hook up with somebody? (as 90% of his tweets either extoll the virtues of weed or refer to his desire to ####)

Where was he coming from?

... he wasn't shot because he was in the neighborhood but obviously Zimmerman was following him because he aroused Zimmerman's suspicions. Obviously, Trayvon didn't want to be followed. I think its important to have the information on what he was doing in the neighborhood. It seems strange that noone has come forward to say "He was on the way to my house". You would think the police would have had his latest calls and texts.

he was staying in the neighborhood. He was returning from a trip to 7-11 to buy candy.

his father’s fiance lived in the neighborhood. He was at that house watching the NBA all star game. At half time he went to the 7-11 and was on his way back when Zimmerman saw him.

He was temporarily living inside that “gated community” either with his father, or his father’s girlfriend — depending on which report you read. He was serving a suspension from school. So basically it appears that he was an unfamiliar face on the street at a time when kids his age are usually in school. This is the kind of thing that arouses suspicion.

What's strange is that a few days after this hit the news, you haven't researched enough to know the answers to your very basic questions; and, you've framed the questions in a way that indicate some bias.

He was headed to his father GF house, in the gated community. It's reported that he died about 100 feet / 100 yards from the dwelling he was staying at.

His girlfriend claims that she was on the phone with him sometime between the time Zimmerman spotted him (Trayvon was aware he was being watched), up to what she claims is the start of the physical altercation. She reports the call ended before any gunshot.

Exactly whom was he "staying with"? Why did they not notice him missing for 3 days?

Candy? Kandy Kush maybe.

what are you talking about? He was with his father at his father’s fiance’s condo. During the NBA all star game he went to the 7-11 and purchased skittles and iced tea. On his way back is when Zimmerman saw him.

-- Why did they not notice him missing for 3 days? --

His father ID'd the body the next day. Trayvon's father, Tracy Martin, called to file a missing person's report on Feb. 27. He was shown a photo, then the body.

There had been multiple burglaries in the gated community in past months. Four AA youth had already been caught by the Neighborhood Watch group that Z belonged and charged for crimes.

My question. Since burglaries by black youth had been a problem, why would parents allow a young person unfamiliar in the community walk alone? Surely one could drive or accompany him.

Before Trayvon was suspended for the 3rd time (for 10 days) from his school, he lived 3.5 hours away. Because of the most recent suspension, it was the judgement of Trayvon’s mother that Trayvon should stay with his father during this sudden “vacation”.

Trayvon’s father is lucky enough to sponge off of a woman who lives in a gated community (I don’t know the race of that woman, and many freeps will noisily averr that it doesn’t matter).

So Trayvon (who was busted at school for having burglar tools) was in this gated community to stay with his moocher father.

And this was a community that had a sudden number of burglaries, enough to energize a liberal, Democrat-registered Jewish Puerto Rican.

Was Trayvon **responsible** for the burglaries?

I don’t know that, but I would be interested to know if l’il Tray was shon on day 1 of the suspension, or day 10. Because if he had been in the neighborhood for 10 days, then that would be a reasonable amount of time in which to restart his burglary hobby.

He was staying with his fathers fiancé. The Sanford pd website has all the reports, 911 calls, press release information. This is better than listening to media reports because it is not intertwined with opinion. I recommend you check it out.

Girlfriend said: Tray spoke first asking “why are you following me?”

Z answered with a question “What are you doing in this neighborhood?”

Then the scuffle.
Zee said same questions as the girl friend that scuffle was TM answering with his fist to Z’s nose.

Police have Z’s clothes and gun. Wonder if they have dusted gun for fingerprints and DNA. Z said they were fighting over gun when it went off.

He was at that house watching the NBA all star game. At half time he went to the 7-11 and was on his way back when Zimmerman saw him.

He went before tip-off of the All-Star Game, not at halftime as is reported. The All-Star Game began at 7:00 EST, with a tip-off time of 7:37 EST.

The police were called to the site of the shooting at 7:17 EST, twenty minutes before tip-off. "He went at halftime of the All-Star Game to buy Skittle for his little brother" sounds good, but Einstein's Space-Time Continuum says it couldn't have happened that way. Does it make Trayvon Martin guilty of something? No. However, it's a mistruth issued by his family after the killing and snapped up by the media, which didn't check the facts.

Other questions:

1. Where in the project does the father/girlfriend live? Where is the 7/11? What is the proximity, and was it clear Trayvon was just going to and back?

2. If he bought stuff, where’s the record he did so at the 7/11? You would think they would have a sales record. Also security camera should show him buying the stuff.

3. Why didn’t he have any i.d. when he was killed, so he was reported as a “John Doe”? Wouldn’t someone normally have a wallet if they were going to buy something? Wouldn’t that wallet normally have some sort of i.d.?

4. What about that bus driver he supposedly beat up? Has anyone looked for the guy?

So close and no one in the house heard the multiple police cars, fire EMT vehicle ambulance or gun shot from their house. Six plus witnesses had their statements taken that night. So police were in the “gated” neighborhood. It took two police cars less than five minutes to be at the scene.

Dad didn’t report him missing till next morning...Hmmmm

Noone hasn’t been able to come forward as he’s been tied up.

No one else knows anything further as well.

Then why did he run when he noticed that he was being observed?

Why did he then return to confront Zimmerman?

Why did he then attack Zimmerman?

I walk in my neighborhood all the time. People who live there observe me. I see them observe me. I don’t run from them, no do I confront and assault them.
