What Trayvon Martin’s tweets say about him
Miami Herald ^ | 4.08.2012 | Deborah Acosta

Posted on 04/08/2012 4:59:03 PM PDT by ironman

A review of the account, which has since been taken down, portrays a typical teenager with a sense of humor and a preoccupation with girls. He is sometimes vulgar when discussing sex, and he often quotes explicit song lyrics.

At times it’s difficult to discern what’s a song lyric and what’s not. How many of Trayvon’s tweets can be taken as literal is up for grabs.

There are certain things that can be gleaned about Trayvon from his tweets:

He loved the films Friday, starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker, and Next Friday, both of which poke fun at street culture. He posted YouTube clips from the films.

What those gold teeth say is that he was a punk in training.

If you look at the pictures from when he was 14 say that he had some nice looking teeth. How does one have such poor dental hygiene in three years as to require six GOLD caps? And who paid for those gold caps and who signed for the work to be performed on a minor?

The bottom line is that Trayvon was not going to make it to 25.... His life was ended a few years early by a cop wannabe instead of a real cop, Seems to me this is no great loss. It might matter to his family, but his untimely demise is not a great loss to humanity and may have prevented a few illegitimate children and a few murders

If anyone can get a transcript of those Posts, it needs to go viral on the world-wide web.

If this is a “typical teenager”, we’re in big trouble.

I’m not certain, but they look to me as if they might be grillz. You can buy them to put over your teeth. Very popular in the hood.

Some people adapt to prison and survive a long, long time.

‘poke fun at street culture’...

Well...that might be one way to look at it. Another way to look at it might be that the films glorify drug usage and the culture surrounding heavy drug users. But to say that young Trayvon was into films about illegal drugs doesn’t fit the narrative.

Does anyone know the circumstances of Trayvon’s last suspension when the search found the pot pipe and pot residue? There had to be a reason for the search. What was that reason?

Paragraph one:

Trayvon Martin liked girls, hated high school and was planning for college.

So he liked girls? ("sometimes vulgar" means multiple p*ss*, h*, b*tch):

A review of the account, which has since been taken down, portrays a typical teenager with a sense of humor and a preoccupation with girls. He is sometimes vulgar when discussing sex, and he often quotes explicit song lyrics.

More of the literate "college bound" education-minded Trayvon Martin:

It’s clear he wasn’t happy at his high school, Dr. Michael D. Krop Senior High in Northeast Miami-Dade: “Wuld I miss Krop?? Hell na f** da skool, f** da lunch, nd most of all f** da faculty….. Ima miss sum of da students, mainly da babies ;)”

In whose world is this proof of a "typical" teenager who "likes girls" and wants to further his education?

Those are not caps. It is a plate that is easily removed and the end of the article comfirmed that it wasn’t permanent. He apparently didn’t wear it generally.

I think that his chances of living a long life were pretty normal. I believe that Zimmerman was destined for such an encounter.

The Daily Caller has collected and posted many of Trayvon's tweets.

Looks like the newspaper is following the Martin as choirboy story line. There’s no mention of the drug or violence references in his tweets. Whitewash? Or it would it be more proper to say blackwash?
