Well, I’m talking about Saint Trayvon in particular given his own particular circumstances.

Obviously thugs on the street in general don’t need to be high to attack someone.

Although smokey da weed does seem to be part of the “thug life” and they do enjoy “dey blunts”.

...Trayvon's autopsy report showed no sign of bruising or other injuries that would indicate he was punched by the Neighborhood Watch leader.

Guess Trayvon was beating up the 'white hispanic' for being white...

Please may I add a few:

10: Trayvon’s mom did not see a suspension from school as an excuse to send her kid on a vacation.

11: His dad understood that his kid was there under less than favorable circumstances and used the evening to make his son a better man instead of going to dinner with a woman who was not your son’s mother.

12:Someone, anyone had taken interest in this kid and gotten him off of the path he took. Wow just wow. Mom has a flipping posse but no son. How is that working for you?

"He had no idea that the kid smoked weed at some point in time."

GZs 911 call says "he looks like......he's on drugs or something". If that portion of the tape gets admitted, it'll open the door for all kinds of theories.

Have we considered the possibility that an open trial was the only way to get the truth out past the media hype and filtering? I think it’s turning out to be the best possible outcome for Zimmerman; if thins continue as they’ve been going, he’ll be publicly vindicated in a way he never would have been had it been left to the left-wing propagandists in the press.

When I was around heavy pot users many years ago, it was a world of quite a bit of violence, gun play, knife play, drug deals, prostitution, and even murder, quite a bit of death and all types of crime, just like today.

I think some people here are middle class straights, hang around with middle class straights, and think that the entire pot world is like that.

She certainly isn’t doing Zimmerman any convoluted favors. The simple fact that he is arrested and charged paves the way for a civil case which is what Trayvon’s family (or should I say lawyers) really wanted. That was made rather plain after the prosecutor’s announcement.

FWIW Angela Corey works for the state of FL not Holder and the DoJ.

OOOps. Why did I think she was taking orders from Holder? Mea culpa. That being said, she’s still a LIAR and a jerk.

She is a liar and after seeing her press conference I would say a kook. While she doesn’t work for Holder she may hope to and she may take suggestions from him. But for now she is Gov. Rick Scott’s attack dog.

While the Zimmerman/Martin ‘white’ on black killing is covered 24/7 on the MSM with an outpouring of rage and charges of a racial hate crime, where is the concern- where is the rage about the home invasion, torture, beating, rape and murder of the elderly white couple by a gang of feral blacks in Oklahoma just a few weeks ago?

The 90 year old war veteran husband was beaten and his jaw broken. He was shot in the face numerous times with a BB gun and sent to the hospital in critical condition.

The 85 year old partially blind wife was RAPED and then BEATEN TO DEATH.

Can you just imagine the pain, the humiliation, the horror that dear old lady experienced being gang raped by that pack of feral animals?

(the autopsy states she was raped. Don’t think all of these animals didn’t all participate)

And can you imagine the pain, the horror of that dear old husband having to witness this?

Mr. Strait died from his injuries last week.

There’s a lot more involved here than a home invasion and robbery.

WHERE ARE THE CHARGES OF A RACIAL HATE CRIME??

90 year old husband’s jaw broken and shot in face with a BB gun numerous times?

85 wife year old semi blind wife RAPED and BEATEN to death??

Why does it take a foreign press to enlighten America as to this henious crime?

WHERE IS THE NATIONAL OUTRAGE?

Have they caught the rest of the gang of feral blacks who raped, tortured and murdered this elderly woman? Are they even looking? Not a word about it in the media.

That is an excellent analysis of what might likely go through a young inexperienced pot smoker’s mind.

Yes, I think you are right on this. I grew up with a brother who regularly smoked pot and acted like a crackhead when high. He was NOT mellow and he was NOT nice when smoking and he smoked it all the time. It was one reason I left home young.

My parents did attempt to control him to no avail. Nothing worked to stop him. While in high school he was arrested over 20 times, and averaged 5-10 arrests a year after that for the first 10 years after high school. It wasn’t until I got out of college, that I found people who could smoke weed and just get mellow.

My brother did achieve one good thing. His behavior forever made me NOT want to do any kind of drugs and I never did.

I hope your brother is still alive.

The mellow pot thing is very common, especially among the middle class types, but pot is a real drug, and it did not come from the middle class, it came from where it still is common, and is still the dominate drug, the violent black and Hispanic underclass.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I am a middle class “strait”. I never even saw pot until my mid 20s. None of the “straits” I was around EVER smoked pot.

When I did begin to see people use pot, they were lethargic and barely sentient and usually went to sleep after a brief laughing fit. I have never understood the attraction to pot. It doesn’t make any sense to me.
