No, I'm talking about a beverage called "purple drank" or "lean". It's got it's own page on Wikipedia, check it out sometime.

I did Wikipedia also mentions it as Texas tea made from candy, cough syrup, sprite etc or something alongthose lines. So are you kidding or you have some news. Let's don't beat up on Trayvon.

there is no news about this. It's the theory of some blogger from Brietbart. Suncc49 posted a link already in this thread. It's more gossip and speculation.

Reminder. Trayvon Martin will NOT be on trial in this case. The defendant is George Zimmerman.

And by "lean", I mean "purple drank".
Indeed, and it's my understanding that the druggies use skittles and/or jolly ranchers to sweeten the stuff.

Uh, oh!

It's all over the place. Some folks have blinders on.

It wouldn't matter to some of these people if George Zimmerman turned out to be a serial killer. All they care about is demonizing Trayvon, even if it means making things up and posting pictures of people that aren't him. They will stoop as low as they can in hopes that George Zimmerman gets away with murder. They have no shame, no compassion and clearly lack morals since they are willing to state lies as if they are fact in a lame attempt to justify the killing of a seventeen year old boy who was committing no crime. Now they are accusing him of buying skittles to mix with drugs...smh.

Facts please! Did Trayvon invade his body space or the other way around. The cry of racist will not shroud this fact and on this fact the guilt or innocence trial or dismissal will hinge. Everyone ignores that and thatbisvthe real child's play in this case.

If he was drinking purple drank then I doubt he would've been violent. It makes a person very subdued ...

That shall be decided in a court of law. This had been said several times now, but Trayvon Martin is NOT on trial. Demonizing him and trying to make him out to be a thug is pointless when there is no proof that he was committing a crime, but there is proof that he went to 7-11 and purchased some skittles and a beverage, yet you and others have no issue with posting videos and pictures of some other kid to attempt to vilify Trayvon Martin and justify George Zimmerman's actions, all the while ignoring his history of aggression and past arrests.

George Zimmerman's supporters have an obvious agenda and have no problem stooping very low if they believe it will help him get away with it. Lying and getting excited about anything you believe is a blow to Trayvon Martin's character says a lot more about yours than it ever will about his. Again, this will be decided in a court of law, not by a bunch of frothing at the mouth gun worshipers who are incapable of critical thought on a discussion forum and I don't believe the post you responded to said anything about race.

Agreed. If a white man came into a bank in a hoodie, and the guard started following him, after which the white man in a hoodie cold cocked him and started beating his head into the hard floor, the guard would have every right to shoot him. This difference is, Trayvon didn't know that GZ was carrying. Kind of stupid on his part, considering the laws in Florida.

I totally agree with you, but I hope you aren't expecting the usual suspects in this thread to be able to process this rationale.
