p.s. if you WERENT curious about sex when you were young you are not 'normal', and for the record, i dont condone what gz did, but it does happen, it will always happen and isnt much more than a control freaks tool to get you worried about it.

[vengencefrom1979]

children molesting children? really? how far can the right wing go with bullshit about sex being 'evil'? hellooooooooooooo, anyone home?

Well, the jewelry and tools definitely leaves him suspect to some shit then, I would say. But that was not what you mentioned, what you mentioned was the marijuana, which alone does not make him a gang banger. Some very astute individuals use cannabis and it was commonly used even by the founding fathers of the United States.

I've bought skittles and Arizona Ice Tea at the same time too, I've never had lean so having those 2 items together doesn't make someone suspect of consumption.

no witness claims to have seen TM assault GZ. The witness you describe #6changed his story of an "MMA style" wrestling match and now says all he saw was TM pushing GZ's hands down. Which, if GZ was holding a gun, would make perfect sense

[hint0122]

oh, has the friend came forward? what evidence?

[hint0122]

no, but if tm was beating him up, like what a witness said, he ceased to be innocent.

[Nancy Benefiel]

The amount and value of the "stolen jewelry" swells as the evidence against GZ grows. In reality no jewelry was reported misssing, no charges were filed. TM said a friend had asked him to hang onto the bag. Nothing came of it. It's irrelevant.

Trayvon Martin could have been staggering down the street with the Hope diamond in his pocket a blunt in one hand and a bottle of Jim Beam in the other sining "why don't we do it in the road" at the top of his lungs. GZ would still have had no right to lay a hand on him

ME tox report says the thc in Trayvon's body was days old. No evidence he was stoned the night he died. This jewelry story j gets bigger and bigger. 6 months ago.it was a few pieces of costume jewelry. it's hard to believe that amount of valuable stuff was never reported stolen. Trayvon died with an unopened canof tea and an unopened bag of skittles, Chad says he want., No robitussin, no robitussin at the house. You are stretching here in your attempt to exonerate GZ.

he also was found with 12 pieces of women's jewelry, a watch and the screwdriver, which was called a Burglary tool by school security. have a answer for that? and when he was shot he had bought skittles and Arizona Iced Tea Co.watermelon fruit juice cocktail , which is a common recipe for "lean" which is a drink made with codeine cough syrup, which he had talking with his friends on facebook about.
