Is “Arazona Tea” a drug name too?

If Trayvon was driving age and was wandering around a gated community at night, going out to buy Skittles and Iced Tea, wouldn’t he have had some form of ID on him?

Especially since all his family assumes they are considered guilty until proven innocent and he didn’t live in that community?

If he had ID and a cell phone, didn’t the police attempt to notify next of kin?

Has an autopsy been performed since the neighborhood watch reported the suspect appeared to be on drugs prior to the incident?

Trayvon reportedly was talking to his girlfriend by cell phone while being followed by the neighborhood watch. Didn’t she care enough about Trayvon to follow up with the family the same night or following morning?

What type of family relationships do we have here?
Father separates from wife, different names, now has a girlfriend, brings his son to her place, then he and the girlfriend leave, son roams about without ID, at night going to the store without a wallet or ID and returns to a girlfriend of his father’s house, without ID, dressed in a hoodie, in a gated community and sneaks around, only to later attack the neighborhood watch.

Something is very wrong with this picture.

Outside reports indicate Trayvon was on suspension.

Father let’s his son, on suspension, wander about gated communities, where he doesn’t live, visiting the father’s girlfriend, without ID, while on suspension, and then attacks the neighborhood watch, because he doesn’t think he is getting enough respect as an ‘honor student’?

What part of being grounded wouldn’t make more sense in this situation? Unless he was using the girlfriend’s place as a safehouse to go out on a crime spree, leaving his ID behind so as not to leave evidence....

Why on earth would the elder Martin assume he had a run in with the law by calling juvenile justice, County Sheriff? To me this is very telling.
As a concerned parent I would be calling the hospitals.

Tea, as you’ve found, is. Not sure about Arizona Iced Tea as a slang term.

So far I have not heard if the rash of burglaries that plagued this neighborhood prior to this incident have come to an abrupt halt since February 26................

>> Metanarrative

What is a “metanarrative”?

And why the “must read”? The partiality was unsettling.

LOL! You're probably one of very few folks who can claim to remember something from 1969 in CA.

Can't imagine what would cause people to associate hoodies with nefarious activities...particularly among certain minorities:

Worked in a bank. Had no ly-abilities, Interest level was high and mini skirts barely covered assets.....OTOH my boss had the fastest hands in the West and if it weren’t for the Assistant Manager I’d probably slugged the SOB.

Why didn't she tell him about her conversation with Trayvon?

This is the first that I heard of this as well, and I don't understand why his GF wouldn't have volunteered this information at that point?!?!? The idea that she didn't say something is simply UNBELIEVABLE!

This has info that I find relevant. It says that Trayvon had visited there multiple times. So he was a little more familiar with the neighborhood than a total stranger. I wonder when he visited before.

I thought he had HIS girlfriend make the call not the sixteen year old GF of Trey. Her parents are very protective of her. Do not see them allowing her to get involved with anything more than giving her statement to police and answering a couple of questions from one media source....that seemed to be to clear up missinformation.

She was interviewed by the police when they discovered she had been talking to him.

No wonder Dan Linehan writes, “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.” Dan published photos ~ and tweets ~ of the wrong fellow!
***********************************************

That is Trayvon’s MySpace. His family probably logged into the account, like his Twitter.

The photos you show doesn’t prove there are no tats on Trayvon.

After April 10th we will probably find out about the autopsy, then we will know without a doubt— if Trayvon had tats.

I would guess she did tell Trayvon’s dad about the fight Trayvon got in with Zimmerman and that is why Dad thought jail before missing.

Trayvon’s dad appears to make a habit of passing the buck.
