Interesting...Purple Drank

Makes Rachel Jeantel seem down-right literate.

I know a bunch of white, upper class, straight A college students, who are going to grow up to be bankers and engineers who talk exactly like that on facebook and texting. It's pretty much universal.

Makes me glad I won't be around to see it.
 
It seems that fruit juice, skittles and a little Robitussin DM makes a rather potent cocktail.

Could this possibly explain why Trayvon hadn't opened either the Skittles or the Iced Tea on the way home? It's kind of been bobbing around in the back of my mind that the stuff wasn't opened which was, to my thinking, unusual but it also wasn't an important fact.

Unusual perhaps but what difference would that have made? I think none.

I don't think Skittles or juice have anything to do with the effect of sippin' on some sizzurp.
 
More like, another piece of the puzzle which says TM was not necessarily some cuddly little choir boy...


That doesn't matter; he could have been a pedophile and even such a person still has rights.

Not the right to assault someone who had committed no crime, to a degree to put them in fear of their life or grave bodily harm.... which is the point most seem to be deliberately jumping over with their eyes closed....

"Sizzzurp"....my secretary filled me on on this today. From what she says the Tucson version was Nyquil in Old English 10 years ago.

That's got to be some nasty, funky juice! I figure that the Skittles and Watermelon juice would go down better.

I never said such actions are rights...

Then there is nothing to talk about regarding TM's rights being violated. Nobody has a right to Not be viewed with suspicion. However, they do have a right not to be assaulted and beaten.
 
Well for starters Trayvon has no history of codeine use, just trace amounts of pot in his school bag- something most here want to see legalized and hardly an aggressive drug.

If the teen had an addiction to the drink I think he would have been like 99% of all other addicts and mixed it as soon as he got behind the store he bought it from. At least got the Skittles to melting.

The party line seems to be a 'thug' like Trayvon was savvy enough to be doing the purple without any incidents but wasn't very clever with pot????

That does seem far-fetched... :peace

Where do you think the cough syrup was.

Remember his father was not home at the time.
 
Still not the kind of person that savagely attacks a stranger for no good reason, from anything I've seen.

On a bad path, apparently, but not that far down it.

Not a twelve year old innocent, but not the aggressively violent monster Zs narrative implies either. Not that different from myself and a lot of others I've known that came out all right.

It is this aspect that has always troubled me the most.

Have you read the actual texts they presented? Out of literally thousands? Its worth it.

As an analysis of shoddy journalism if nothing else.

Much hay has been made of the NBC editing of the NEN call.

It is nothing compared to the hatchet job done to M in regards to his text messages. Possibly actually actionable slander.

Could just be laziness, they aren't easy to parse. But its bad.

At this point I wish the judge had allowed them. I don't think they'd have painted the picture in mother's minds the defense hoped they would.

According to his phone friend what Martin did to Zimmerman is all in a days work. She says it happens all the time where he is from in Miami, so why would you doubt he actually did it, especially after seeing the pictures of the damage he inflicted on zimmerman?
