Was Trayvon Martin a Drug Dealer?
Wagist ^ | 3/25/12 | Dan Linehan

Posted on 03/25/2012 7:17:09 PM PDT by Nachum

Above is the iconic picture we’ve been become accustomed to seeing everywhere in the media, used to represent the recent Trayvon Martin shooting in Sanford, Florida. From everything the public has been told, Trayvon Martin was a fresh-faced, innocent looking teenager and the visage of the man who shot him, George Zimmerman, is right out of a booking photo.

The media narrative being sold is quite clear, Trayvon Martin is the innocent victim here and George Zimmerman is a horrible bigot who attacked the young man for doing nothing more than buying skittles while being black. Even Barack Obama seems to accept the fresh-faced innocence of Trayvon, stating, “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon.” More on that later.

It’s becoming more and more clear however that the innocent appearance the mainstream media is so desperate to apply to Trayvon isn’t at all accurate. The picture we’re used to seeing to represent Trayvon Martin appears to be a far cry from how he actually looked once he was a few years older.

Yet another picture claiming to be Trayvon?? That profile was last updated in 2010, and it says he was 19 years old. Can we refrain from posting this pictures until there is some confirmation it is really him??

“So, you would NEVER follow a person who just stole the stereo out of your car.”

Well....2 things. If I did follow...it would be because I had just witnessed an actual crime.
Second...I don’t think I would follow since the the type of person who would do that could also be violent.
I would call the police.

Would you ever follow someone who was walking down the street?

The police are trained for these situations - and even they find themselves in compromising situations.

How much more potential for error is there for the NW watch guy, who takes it upon himself to follow people?
A guy who, if reports are true, has had a dream of becoming an officer, and has not achieved that dream.

Is it possible we are looking at an overzealous person who wants to be law enforcement and couldn’t “cut it”

-- Would you ever follow someone who was walking down the street? --

I do it all the time. Sometimes in strange neighborhoods and around people that I don't know, and who don't know me. I'm rarely concerned about or attentive toward any individual though. I have walked up to people who were sitting in stopped cars for extended period (more than 10 minutes or so). I get close enough to talk, but not close enough to touch.

-- How much more potential for error is there for the NW watch guy, who takes it upon himself to follow people? --

Infinitely more, than to the person who stays indoors and averts observation. As for the observers, I'd say the amount of increased risk depends on how close they being themselves to the person they are observing. Stay 50 feet way is pretty safe; 10 feet is not so safe; close enough to touch is courting trouble.

-- Is it possible we are looking at an overzealous person who wants to be law enforcement and couldn't "cut it" --

I think it is highly likely. That doesn't mean he is aggressive observer (as in always tries to get in touching distance of his subjects).

The MSM is covering up all kinds of facts about Martin as they have not reported that he was stalking the streets at 3:00 am and they have not reported your fact that he was a drug dealer.

Your 'facts' are: 1) Wrong. 2) Wild speculation.

The reason is... the left is evil. That is why it must be resisted and defeated.

Here it is cropped and flipped.

A lot of internet self-portraits are taken by pointing phone camera at a mirror, and so will be flipped.

Not just the SYG law, OW, but the entire 2nd Amendment. One evening last week while surfing channels, there was Lisa Bloom on HLN holding forth, saying as long as guns are legal, we are “all” at risk, yada yada. Someone else commented that Dr. Drew was preaching similar claptrap.

Earlier on another thread (might have even been this thread) someone observed:

We have here a wanna-be gangsta meeting up with a wanna-be cop, and things turned out badly.

Agreed, in this pic it's possible the word Tray and the skull and crossbones were drawn on a mirror.

Thanks for that post/explanation. They screwed up somewhat though; it’s pretty obvious that they believed ‘Zimmerman’ was white (and a special bonus would have been Jewish imo). Another side is emerging slowly about the Martin kid.

If they let Zimmerman off, even after a trial, he will have to enter a witness protection program or something.

You’re right. But this is that ‘crack’ that they have been waiting for. It always starts with a ‘crack’. Last week I was listening to NPR and they had a screeching (literally) congresscritter from Martin’s district. She was literally ‘screeching’ about ‘dat’ law and it’s like the wiiiild west since dat law was passed etc etc.

Once my ears started bleeding though I shut it off. But it’s clear that that’s the heart of the situation for the commies.

Gonna be a long hot summer Miz.

What a monster. Shooting was too good for him.

One witness has spoke out but it looks more than one on the police report?

Yes, I wonder how much research they did. You really don’t think a person named “George Zimmerman” would be anything other than a “typical” white Jewish guy.
