I KNOW it looks like I am trying to “demonize” Trayvon and put the blame on him but really I am not. I have a 17 year old myself so I feel for his family AND the kid. And I do think that this could have been avoided if Zimmerman had just ignored him. However, I am old school, a child of the 70s and in MY neighborhood we knew and looked out for each other. Any adult could ask what the hell you were up to if it looked like you were up to no good and we wouldn’t have dared to punch them in the face. I just think ALL the facts should be weighed before we start putting bounties out on people…..
SALLY: I might believe that had there not been reports that Zimmerman was a weirdo who patrolled the little neighborhood and reported suspicious activity 46 other times. It seems more likely that he was playing cop and harassing the kid.
The media keeps reporting that he made those 46 calls in less than one year when in fact it was over the course of almost 8 years. Foreclosures were rampant in the neighborhood and there had been numerous incidents of vandalism and teen parties in the vacant units. Here is Zimmerman's 911 log: Zimmerman 911 log
LytoMe: I am still baffled at the fact this guy was not even questioned at the station. Even an armed police office gets questioned at the station when he just shoots his gun on a call, not even hitting someone. This guy doesn’t even get a sit down, what the hell is that about?
Another false claim by the media. He WAS taken to the station and questioned. Here is the police report, see bottom of pg 3: Police Report
Trayvon apparently did deal drugs to some extent as there were several references to it on his FB and Twitter prior to them being cleaned up by his family. Like this:![[Image: OXAjN.png]](http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt267/popscaddy916/OXAjN.png)
I’ve also seen reports that Trayvon assaulted a bus driver when he was caught with the marijuana - hence the 10 day suspension. (Although his parents initially said it was for being tardy, then for being in an "unauthorized area".) This from his cousin seems to possibly back that up:![[Image: iTmrv.jpg]](http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt267/popscaddy916/iTmrv.jpg)
His friends seem to think HE was the one doing the ass-kicking, BEFORE the story changes for the media hype that is:![[Image: uaa4E.jpg]](http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt267/popscaddy916/uaa4E.jpg)
Although he was a "model" student, his Twitter made many references towards skipping school, confronations with teachers and getting his "dome" polished at school. You can see it here: Trayvon's Twitter
None of this is reason for him to lose his life. My point is that Trayvon was NOT the innocent angel kid the media was initially making him out to be. There is a possibility that he WAS looking for trouble that night, we will probably never know for sure.
