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

Florida teenager Trayvon Martin was allegedly suspended from school after security officers found what they described as a 'burglary tool' and women’s jewellery in his backpack. The new claims, revealed in a leaked school report, paint a different picture of a troubled teenager who was kicked out of school a total of three times. 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 marijuana.

If Trayvon got suspended for a marijuana pipe and baggie ...

Where did his father come up with a story that it was for “being in an unauthorized area” at school?

Same parents who announced loudly their son was shot just because of his color.

Just maybe Trayon also was caught in somebody’s office and the father mixed up the incidents?

Joe Oliver is a wonderful friend to have. It speaks well of Zimmerman that they are pals. He has been amazingly calm and articulate in his defense of Z. He even went on that schmuck Chris Matthews’ show last night and he was almost (I say almost) treated with respect.

He’s a good-looking guy. I wonder if Chris got a thrill.

There's alot of lies out there. One of his school teachers said he was suspended for being tardy!

Has anyone heard that the police report was leaked by a whistle blower? I heard that this morning on some news show but haven't heard it corroborated.

Rut Roe!!! A burglary tool. Looks like Zimmerman’s comment about the teen looking around suspiciously at houses holds some water.

Information is sure not falling in line with what the race hustlers are preaching about a murdered innocent yute, by some racist white guy. This sure makes me wonder about what all Trayvon was up to, besides going to the store for skittles and ice tea. Perhaps went out to get high and retrieve munchies for later? Perhaps casing houses for burglary in the area of his new digs? Perhaps Mr. Zimmerman was right on the money with his suspicions about Trayvon's behavior and activity?

The timeline could have been established from surveillance cameras from the store to where he ended up could have been used to determine what he was up to.

He was. He was also suspended for empty plastic bag with traces of marijuana in it.

He was suspended 3 times, right? Was the last suspension because of being tardy - or the burglary/pot “bust”?

His tweets are full of gang language. His associates are obviously bangers judging by the way they tweet. It certainly appears that this kid was a banger and out for no good.

There’s no evidence Zimmerman “chased the kid down.” When the dispatcher asked Zimmerman if he was following the man Zimmerman said yes but he wasn’t running, you can tell that from his speech, nt to mention running’s difficult while talking on a cell phone in the dark. The dispatcher told him he didn’t need to do that and Zimmerman said “OK.”

Whether he continued to follow after that is not known but it sounds like he cut it off after saying “OK,” since the connection gets clearer. We just don’t know. We do know that Zimmerman’s FIRST response to sighting this person in his neighborhood was not to shoot the guy or confront the guy but was to call the police. That’s not the act of a criminal.

Zimmerman did say during that call that he saw Trayvan run. Apparently Trayvan saw Zimmerman on the phone looking his way and decided to run, which is an odd behavior for someone just out on a walk minding his own business. If Treyvan was nervous at being sighted and unsure of Zimmerman’s intentions why not simply walk on the other side of the street, turn around and take a different route, or call out “hello” like a normal person out on a walk would do to see if the response is friendly? Instead, Treyvan decides to run?

A short fat guy is not going to succeed in “chasing down” a young athlete, and if he wanted to shoot the guy Zimmerman certainly would not have to chase him to do it and would not have to get anywhere near the guy to do it. Zimmerman sure as heck isn’t going to be able to catch someone who has a head start and is as fit as Treyvan. Are you trying to tell us that the fat guy was able to outrun Treyvan?

Balderdash! I read 152 pages of his tweets which are at Daily Caller. No way this kid would ever have qualified as a pilot...frankly, he was borderline retarded as are most of his friends. Here is a typical comment made by our friend Trayvon, AKA No Limit Nigga: aight finne go GN. betta hit me back 2moro or ail b finne 2 beat yo azz down.

According to his tweets, he was dealing pot to his friends in the hood; he was late for class or absent constantly, and bragged about it; and he was transferring to a 3rd high school that year, having been suspended several times. There is absolutely no way he was an A or B student as was supposedly claimed in this article....pry by a teacher who just wants to keep his or her job....and he was “just discovering girls” his uncle sobbed? What a crock of sh*t. That train done left the station a long time ago, lol.

I suggest that you don’t just believe whatever the media is putting out there and instead do your own research before you look even more foolish spouting half-truths on a website. Unless of course the reason you’re here is to muddy the water....

Martin was suspended being tardi. Then graffiti, when searching his bag they found a marker along with the jewelry that he wrote ‘WTF’ on a school locker. He wasn’t suspended for having the jewelry. Four months later the last time, he was caught with an empty plastic bag with traces of marijuana in it.

OK. I guess my point was that when he was suspended (right before he met his maker), it was not for being “tardy.” And then one of his teachers told the press that it was the reason he was currently suspended.

If a flat-head screwdriver is a burglary tool, then I’m in deep doo-doo.

Yep.
You sure are if it's in a bag together with women's jewelry...

Looks like the little creep was a creep, a home invasion type of creep.

and drugs and he hit the bus driver and skipped classes and god only know what else. They're trying to play this like it's nothing but the jewelry alone is a tip off to what we're dealing with here... Can we all say ‘crook’? Violent? Yeah, might be jumping to conclusions but no where near as bad as trained professional 'journalists' did on this story...
