Yeah gee, maybe the next thread Aero will start will be about Trayvon toilet papering a neighbor's house at Halloween when he was little. PROOF that this was a criminal waiting to happen! But nipped inthe bud by the ever watchful and intrepid Mr Zimmerman!

Certainly it does. Anyone suspended from school because of drugs will have a NEGATIVE REFLECTION.. that's just common sense.

As a parent, my child would not be allowed to HANG out with Trayvon had I known he was suspended from School because of drugs.. PERIOD... That's called negative reflection and you can bet i would not be alone in this arena.

That doesn't make Trayvon a bad guy at all... STUPID, yes, but not a bad guy...

I am on the side of justice and feel that it has been left at the alter in this case but please don't brush things like drug abuse to the side as if they don't reflect negatively.. because they do..

Nobody deserves to die under those circumstances. But lets keep it in perspective. As more details come to light, we see that Trayvon wasn't exactly the Angel that you, the media, and everyone else believes he was. In fact, it points to the opposite, which could have been a factor in the fight against Zimmerman.

Yeah, skipping classes and hitting some weed makes you want to defend yourself against people that stalk you, get out of their vehicle and then shoot you in the chest.
I can see your point. I don't see how they have anything to do with each other, though. Weed .....didn't make that man kill that child. Weed....didn't make that man get out of his car. If the guy in the car had been home smoking some weed, that kid would still be alive.

I can't believe someone is trying to insunuate that if you smoke pot, you deserve to get shot on the street.

The people who are "OK" with Zimmerman killing Trayon are likely to believe that his murder was justified purely based on the fact that he was Black, no more and no less. Reason and justice are concepts that are truly lost on these individuals.

We have no proof that Trayvon abused drugs. (Oh vey..the drama!!)

I smoked plenty of weed in my teens. Who knew my reflection was "negative"? I guess my honor roll status disguised that good enough.

An "empty bag" doesn't get a person suspended. Indeed millions of empty bags leave the lunch room every single day. Filled with what? Sandwich crumbs.

An "empty bag" consisting of trace marijuana gets you in trouble. You should acknowledge this sooner rather than later if you expect your defense of Trayvon Martin to hold up to scrutiny.
