I should have put quotes around “straight”.

I meant what passes for “straight” in the drug world, the guys who want their pot for their little, sweet, Sean Penn stoner, middle class, life, but who want to remain ignorant of the true pot and drug world in which they are the punks of.

No my brother died 5 years ago. He was never able to let go. At age 45, he looked 65. Beer and Pot were his drugs of choice but he did a little of everything at one time or another. He was never a strung out junkie, but in the end, he had cirosis of the liver, along with Hep B & C, gastritisus, and his skin was as yellow as a banana in the hospital.

That is a tough story, but I know what you are talking about.

What is that tattoo of?

From This: Saint Trayvon had several tattoos. The one on the left above was on his wrist and was his mother's name misspelled. The one on the right above was on his upper right arm. I'm not sure what it is or represents ... your guess is as good as mine. I don't have a better picture of the tattoo on his upper left arm than the one I originally posted above. Again, your guess is as good as mine.

The appearance of him in the video indicates to me that he was high.

And just what did Trayvon pick up off the floor?

[jonrick46]

Whatever it was he picked up, it was the size of a dime. Hash-hish in a foil wrapping that he dropped from his pocket? Remember, there was a drug pipe found in his back pack at school.

According to news accounts, Trayvon had $40 on him when he died but, in the video, he appears to be scrounging for the money to pay for skittles and the watermelon drink. Is it possible Trayvon made some sort of financial transaction once he left the store?

We did not say or imply that George Zimmerman was “psychic” or needed to know Trayvon Martin would test positive for THC in his post-mortem examination, so suggesting a need for psychic powers is a strawman argument unrelated to the actual comments. The presence of THC relates directly to the statements of the reporter in the quoted news. The claim that Trayvon Martin was not engaged in any criminal activity put forth by his parents and the news media is false insofar as Trayvon Martin was an illegal dealer in narcotics and a illicit drug abuser as evidenced by his social networking messages and by the THC in his bloodstream. While Trayvon Martin may or may not have been engaging in drug dealing and/or burglaries during the period of time of his encounter with the neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin is now known to have engqaged in past criminal activity of a kind which has the potential of providing a motive for Trayvon Martin to have attempted to assault or even murder George Zimmerman. The defense may provide a jury reasonable doubt by presenting evidence of motive, opportunity, and means for Trayvon Martin to have assaulted or even attempted the murder of the defendant as a continuation and expansion of past criminal activity.

The 911 recordings and the layout of the housing complex indicate Trayvon Martin intercepted and confronted George Zimmerman, and not the other way around. In other words, Trayvon Martin chose to confront George Zimmerman, when he could have much more easily have entered into the townhome where he was staying without George Zimmerman observing where Trayvon Martin had disappeared to. The fatal confrontation occurred only because Trayvon Martin chose to double back, intercept, and attack George Zimmerman. Trayvon Martin miscalculated when he failed to realize George Martin was armed until he had George Zimmerman on the ground and was beating him to death before getting shot by his armed victim. The jury will want to know why Trayvon Martin was motivated to forgo his opportunity to return to the townhome in peace and safety. Past criminal activity may provide such motivation and means.

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 heinous crime? WHERE IS THE NATIONAL OUTRAGE?

People in the MSM are soooooooo afraid of being called 'racist' and losing their jobs that they're not outraged by any crime committed by a black person...
