What Trayvon Martin’s tweets say about him
Miami Herald ^ | 4.08.2012 | Deborah Acosta

Posted on 04/08/2012 4:59:03 PM PDT by ironman

A review of the account, which has since been taken down, portrays a typical teenager with a sense of humor and a preoccupation with girls. He is sometimes vulgar when discussing sex, and he often quotes explicit song lyrics.

At times it’s difficult to discern what’s a song lyric and what’s not. How many of Trayvon’s tweets can be taken as literal is up for grabs.

There are certain things that can be gleaned about Trayvon from his tweets:

He loved the films Friday, starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker, and Next Friday, both of which poke fun at street culture. He posted YouTube clips from the films.

It is well known that he was suspended for weed residue. You have no evidence that he sucker punched Zimmerman.

ThunderBS: THe “witness” who “expressed” that Zimmerman was on top didn’t say that. She said that the “bigger” person was on top, which would be Martin since he is about 6’2” or more.

Also said she couldn’t hear what they were saying. Said it was dark outside so she could’t see any racial features during the fight.

Martin was not “gunned” down. He was killed in a fight. Powder residue photos and tests will give us the distance at which he was shoot. If it is within a foot or so, he was in close contact with Zimmerman. If it was beyond a foot or two, then Zimmerman has a problem with his story.

It will also be interesting to here Zimmerman’s story about what he did when he first called in to the police and then left his truck, to the time he returned to it. Took about a minute so someone will have to walk the “route” to see how far he could have travelled in that period of time, including returning to his truck.

Forensics is going to play a tremendous role in reconstructing what went on.

So far, your comments are based on poor witnesses, poor lighting conditions, poor hearing environment, and changing stories. I hope that you are not a defense attorney. I definitely wouldn’t hire you if you are.

I’d do my own defense pro se.

Martin had been suspended for tardiness, but that is not what he was last suspended for. I can easily see the confusion.

"Internet postings are not really meant to be taken seriously, so you really cannot take it as reflecting reality."

See below.. This photo, taken from Trayvon's MySpace page shows another large tattoo that took up most of his upper arm. So where is this tattoo? "Internet reality" my butt.

The witness said that the bigger man walked toward her after the shot.

The confusion was sewn by his daddy, Tracy Martin, who lied early on as to the reason for Trayvon's suspension.

You know how many people have tattoos these days?

I don’t have any, but a tat-free person amongst the young puts them in the minority these days.

Does that tatoo show praying hands and a rosary? A Christian tatoo? What’s the complaint?

I’m sure many fathers would lie to protect their sons, including Robert Zimmerman.

My complaint is I don't think that huge arm with the tattoos is even his.

One says he took a swing at a bus driver. That gives credence to Zimmerman’s account of the events that night.

There had to be a reason for the search. What was that reason?

Well, let's see. Dad wasn't concerned that he hadn't come come that night, nor was he concerned that the cousin hadn't seen him, so he assumed he'd been arrested. What parent automatically jumps to that conclusion unless that's been a habit. He was running his mouth at Zimmerman with "what's your problem" so that was probably habit. He was probably running his mouth about the drugs at school and he'd had contraband in his backpack in the past. Habits. It takes an involved parent to redirect bad habits. He obviously didn't have such.

The gold teeth appear to be cosmetic: they are symmetrically arranged.

What dentist would cap good teeth with gold ones? Is this ethical dentistry?

Why did Dr. Krop feel the need to lie to the press and to polish Trayvon Marin's image over something that wasn't relevant to the shooting?

Simple. He's denying there's drug use in his school. Can't have that getting out, don'cha know.
