Multiple suspensions paint complicated portrait of Trayvon Martin
The Miami Herald ^ | 3/26/12 | Frances Robles

Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin was suspended from school in October in an incident in which he was found in possession of women’s jewelry and a screwdriver that a schools security staffer described as a “burglary tool,” The Miami Herald has learned.

Trayvon, who claimed that an unnamed friend had given him the jewelry, was not disciplined because of the discovery, but was instead suspended for graffiti, according to a Miami-Dade Schools Police report obtained by The Miami Herald.

I exact thought when I saw this picture with the original post, I’am a Trayvon. “F”ing stupid people walking this planet.

Jack Dempsey at 6'1" & 180:

Winning the championship against the 250 lb Willard:

In the event Willard was knocked down seven times — all in the first round...Willard's corner would not let him answer the bell for the fourth round. He was widely reported to have suffered a broken jaw, broken ribs, several broken teeth and a number of deep fractures to his facial bones..." - Wiki

I read 5’3” in the article I read.

Media reports have been all over the place with lots of mistakes (which is a huge part of the problem) so 5’9” is just as likely.

Still 6’3” vs 5’9” is still a significant mismatch in a fight.

I also read an article where he was referred to as “ex-football player”

if true, wonder why he stopped playing football ?

Perhaps because he was found with burglary tools and jewelry, and busted for graffiti.

Couldn’t possibly be because he couldn’t maintain a GPA to play, because we all know these kids are honor students turning their lives around.

Usually one needs good grades to play football, and good behavior. He may not have had either recently.

Everyone knows that light-skinned blacks are smarter and less threatening than the dark-skinned ones. If anyone remembers that SNL skit with Julian Bond.

Yup, ol’ “bean poles” can pack a heck of a punch and can hurt you real bad with only a few punches.

Media attempts to characterize Martin as a “helpless” little 6'3” 160 lb waif (with a picture taken at 13 years old) really pegged my BS- O - Meter so hard it bent the needle.

I spent more than a few years working with inner city ghetto kids in a notoriously violent school system and I can vouch for the physical damage a 17 year old gang banger can mete out.

A whole lot of people have been sent to the hospital and to the graveyard by 17 year old gang banger bean poles and that's a fact.

The typical ignorant media consumer is being played. And there are plenty here who are falling for the meme. Glad you’re not one of those.

its interesting that only 1 family in an area can cause a crime wave....Even in the country, but sorry to say the kid tried to play chicken with a car and lost...b & e went down drastically. The boy was buried 3 days later....

Hint to people when a family member dies...don't put the day of the funeral in the paper...thats a signal to some that the house is empty. Happened to a neighbor on the farm. When my hubby died on the farm, a neighbor came over to house sit....the b & e took all the guys guns.

The pic on the left looks shopped also. Where is the kid’s shoulder on the right side of the first pic? And why is that white horizontal bar on the right side of the 2nd pic but not in the first one?

Oh, and by the way , Jack Dempsey started his boxing career when he was about 17-18 and weighed about 150-160 lbs - just about the same stats as Martin.

At that age and weight, Dempsey literally took apart full grown adult men who were trained, professional fighters.

So much for the whole “harmless little child bean pole” meme the media is trying to shove down our throats.

If screwdrivers are now burglary tools, what do you imagine a 2.5 pound steel hammer is?

The last resort when the screwdriver won't jimmy the locker.......

This lad may look more like Aunt Zeituni’s son. Or perhaps the half brother, hut dweller George Hussein Onyango. At any rate, Obama may have stepped in a pile ... again.

The crap that is acceptable in the black community dismays me to no end.

After they reelected a convicted crackhead for Mayor of D.C. some years ago. Nothing surprises. Marion Berry I believe it was.

D.C. was once the center of a great government, historic where the founders walked and created the greatest country on the planet.

Unfortunately, the pendulum swung from honor to dishonor, it's been subverted and compromised by decadent liars and corrupted frauds. It's become unrecognizable from the neighborhoods to the rotunda and up into the Oval Office.

The lies and glaring propaganda on a national level, generated by events such as this, reveal the disturbing state of affairs. A once united people, are now clearly divided. None of this happen by mistake, but by design.
