This skittles thing has been rolling around in the back of my mind since the beginning. It just does not sound like something a 17 year old would make a special trip to the store for. Just not cool.
So low and behold it happens to be a drug reference.

I think his GF said he went out for skittles and tea (another obvious drug reference) but my recollection is not as good as it once was. It is not referenced in the police report so how do folks know had the candy?

Skittles=ecstasy
Tea= pot

At one point it was said he went to get them for his little step brother. Were they mentioned in police report?
But
tonight I read that dad and fiance’ went out to dinner and didn't get back till ten. So who took care of little brother?

The media needs to go back to that convenience store and talk to the store clerk. Does the clerk remember Trayvon? Did he in fact even pay for the alleged Skittles and iced tea? Did he buy rolling papers? Did he appear to be high? What was Martin doing before he went to the convenience store? Wonder if his dad was on top of where he was and his activities...

The last few hours of Trayvon’s life leading up to his encournter with Zimmerman need to be investigated.

Very good, that is my question. Trayvon decided to walk to a nearby 7-Eleven convenience store to pick up a bag of Skittles candy and a can of Arizona iced tea ...

What is the source of this? Is there 7-11 video? Did the police interview a 7-11 clerk? If there was skittles and tea, who says it wasn't already in the house? How far is the 7-11? Would he walk that far for candy and tea?

Sounds too cute by half.

Dude. Nice catch. I've said from the beginning the Skittles reference was BS. Kid said he was going to 7/11. Closest one is almost 2miles away. It's raining.

Sanford is a drug haven. And there are spots not far from where Trayvon was staying where it would be quite easy to buy.

Girlfriend and Dad were gone. Trayvon was playing "Home Alone". Perfect time to get high.

Until proven otherwise with a pic of some Skittles and tea on the ground or a surveillance tape, which usually is on the news 24hrs after a crime, from the convenience store I do believe lil' Tray was scoring some dope.
