Re: AP tweet: Trayvon was suspended for pot residue

  • Glad his family put the rumors to rest. He was suspended for a non violent offense. He still did not deserve to die.
  • They test bags for drug residue?? Florida schools don't have bigger problems??

    Maybe only the poor schools. Because they'll probably grow up to be welfare recipients and they'll have to drug test them at that point anyway. Confused

  • There is truly no end to the list of asinine excuses why this child was killed, are there?

    My guess is that they're going to make it out like "well if he was a proper teen who didn't get in trouble and get suspended, then he wouldn't be out as late as he was because he would've had to go to school the next morning, therefore he wouldn't have been killed" or some random, just-as-stupid reason.

  • In many minds, that just took Trayvon from a good, innocent kid to a drug smoking, suspended thug who was high when this happened because he was going to the store to satisfy his munchies.  It's ridiculous to think that this discovery won't sway public view.

  • Well if he did indeed smoke weed doesn't that nullify Zimmerman's self-defense claim?  Correct me if I am wrong but aren't pot smokers mellow as heck? Even sat with the pot smokers on the Elipse( in DC) while watching the fireworks? It's very mellow over there, my IL's LOVE sitting there!!
