Via Miami Herald:
Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin was suspended from school because he was caught with an empty plastic bag with traces of marijuana in it, the boy’s family attorney has confirmed.
Marijuana and a hoodie! Oh well then… kill him.
My guess is if that was the standard a good many of us would have been taken out before we graduated high school.
Now, let’s deal with the point of this suspension… Um, there isn’t one. But I’ve been expecting these tactics. This is what happens to rape victims when their past sexual relationships are tossed at them as evidence of their slutiness. After all, if you had sex with one guy, what’s your problem?
I hate this game. Know what I also hate? These questions: Did Trayvon have a history of violence? I don’t know. What I do know is that George Zimmerman did, and yet we don’t hear much about that. Was the drug and alcohol test performed on Trayvon Martin positive? I don’t know. What I do know is that George Zimmerman wasn’t tested for drugs and alcohol.
In all my posts, I have never “imagined” what happened when Trayvon and Zimmerman met. I still don’t know. But my point remains the same:
To me, it still comes down to George Zimmerman getting out of his car, when he was specifically instructed not to, and following Trayvon Martin. That’s the key point… the difference between life and death.
Know what else I know… We’re going to hear George Zimmerman’s side of the story – a story told from his perspective and with great incentive to be told in his self-interest. Trayvon’s side of the story will never be told.
Buckle up, it’s smear the Trayvon Martin time. Next up… maybe Trayvon once had a beer at the school dance.
