Cult Watch Title: Was Trayvon Martin a Drug Dealer? (@NO_LIMIT_NIGGA)
Above is the iconic picture we’ve been become accustomed to seeing everywhere in the media, used to represent the recent Trayvon Martin shooting in Sanford, Florida. From everything the public has been told, Trayvon Martin was a fresh-faced, innocent looking teenager and the visage of the man who shot him, George Zimmerman, is right out of a booking photo. The media narrative being sold is quite clear, Trayvon Martin is the innocent victim here and George Zimmerman is a horrible bigot who attacked the young man for doing nothing more than buying skittles while being black. Even Barack Obama seems to accept the fresh-faced innocence of Trayvon, stating, “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon.” More on that later. It’s becoming more and more clear however that the innocent appearance the mainstream media is so desperate to apply to Trayvon isn’t at all accurate. The picture we’re used to seeing to represent Trayvon Martin appears to be a far cry from how he actually looked once he was a few years older.
Extended School Suspension There has been a lot of analysis about the character of George Zimmerman in the media, and surprisingly little about Trayvon Martin. For instance, a few days before he was killed, Trayvon was suspended from school for ten days.
There has been very little follow-up in investigating exactly why Trayvon was suspended for such a long period of time for what seems to be the relatively minor offense of “being in an unauthorized area.” In most schools, something like that would be a detention, or one-day, in school suspension at most. Not ten days. Of course, this is why Trayvon was staying as his Father’s house, so far away from school. And it also explains why George Zimmerman, who by all accounts seemed to stay on top of everything that happened in his neighborhood, didn’t recognize him that evening, Trayvon didn’t really live there, and was only in town because of the suspension. It seems we may not find out more anytime soon, as a lawyer representing Trayvon’s family has sealed his school records. Multiple Tattoos To learn more about Trayvon’s character, we have to look to his friends and family to offer clues. Unfortunately, it seems as if most people who knew him are intent on cleaning up his image, rather than discussing what Trayvon was really like. Even though Trayvon was only 17, he already was sporting gold teeth, and several large tattoos. This one was on his wrist, apparently of his
This photo, taken from Tray’s MySpace page, shows another large tattoo that took up most of his upper arm.
It seems that Tray was also on Twitter, but his account seems to have been recently deleted by his family or friends. His screen name was “@NO_LIMIT_NIGGA, as you can see from the twitpic account screenshot above. He was also a member of a twitter hash group #team4dat. At first, I was skeptical that anyone would maintain an account with that sort of derogatory slur in the title, but after doing some research, it’s apparent that it was Trayvon’s account. The account was in existence long before the shooting occurred a few weeks ago, and was deleted only recently, there are still dozens of references to @NO_LIMIT_NIGGA in google’s cache. The associated twitpic account matches the account name and is still online at the time of publication. Most of the pics were uploaded months ago, so this account was associated with Trayvon long before the shooting took place. Several of Tray’s friends have been very open about referring to Trayvon using that account as well. His cousin, who is quite active on Twitter, refers to Trayvon more than a dozen times using the @NO_LIMIT_NIGGA nickname. Violence & Gang Activity There seem to be several allusions to violence on Tray’s Twitter account. His friends posted supportive messages using it as well, about how happy they were that Trayvon whooped Zimmerman’s ass before he died.
Another post makes reference to Trayvon having “swung on a bus driver” a few days before he died. Did that have something to do with his ten-day suspension?
On Trayvon’s MySpace page, at least one of his top friends, Romario305, is featured making a gang sign towards the camera in his default profile picture.
Almost all of this is in stark contrast to the media’s central narrative that Trayvon was a normal, happy, well-adjusted teenager. Instead of that, we are seeing long suspensions from school, tattoos, racially-charged epitaphs, and violence. Drug Culture Several of his friends have posted pictures of rolled blunts to twitter in memorial to Trayvon.
There is also fairly direct evidence that Trayvon may have been a small-time drug-dealer. On Facebook on February 5th, his friend posts on his wall asking to talk business. Trayvon says he doesn’t have a phone available and his friend says, “Damn were u at a nigga needa plant.”
That Facebook url should still work, if anyone is intrepid enough to check it out. Unless Trayvon was selling Orchids, it seems fairly reasonable to posit that he may have been somewhat well-known among his friends for selling marijuana. Conclusions Hopefully this info paints a somewhat different picture of Trayvon than the one the media has been forcing down our throats for the last several weeks. This is a complex case, and while all the facts are not in yet, we do know that Zimmerman was well within his rights to make verbal contact with someone he didn’t know or recognize in his neighborhood. In fact, that’s exactly what Neighborhood Watch groups are for, to be the “eyes and ears” of the community. It appears that Zimmerman was very good at this job. No matter how offended someone might be to have a stranger come up and ask what they are doing there, it doesn’t give anyone a license to commit assault. From what I can tell, Zimmerman was doing a routine neighborhood watch, called in someone he considered suspicious, and was maintaining a visual on him until the police came. Then he was attacked, had his nose broken and was in a prone position while crying out for help. Zimmerman was pinned to the ground, according to a witness, and was still being beaten by someone much younger than him. Many people are reading a lot into the weight difference between Martin and Zimmerman, but Zimmerman was also 5’9 and out of shape. I’m pretty sure many tubby thirty-year-olds wouldn’t do well against a fit, 6’3, 17-year-old. This is a textbook self-defense case, and I’d urge anyone reading to look at the full set of facts before drawing conclusions.

#2. To: mininggold, lucysmom (#0) What do you think about Travor swinging at the bus driver a few days before he was killed?
#3. To: Fred Mertz (#0) This article is for you senile old man.
#4. To: A K A Stone (#1) @NO_LIMIT_NIGGA He learned too late that one well placed round, was his limit.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice. #5. To: A K A Stone (#2) What do you think about Travor... Who is Travor? You appear to be the senile one.
#6. To: Fred Mertz (#5) I can't keep up with the name. I guess I deserved that one since I said it about you. Fair is fair. :)
#7. To: A K A Stone (#2) What do you think about Travor swinging at the bus driver a few days before he was killed? If he did, what has that got to do with Zimmerman stalking him? Anyone claiming to be an expert is selling something. I brandish my ignorance like a crucifix at vampires. Aaron Bady #8. To: lucysmom (#7) He stalked him likely because he had "multiple tattoos" and gold teef.
#9. To: Fred Mertz (#8) He stalked him likely because he had "multiple tattoos" and gold teef. I have a gold toof, but no tats - should I get a gun?

#11. To: Fred Mertz (#10) Egads! We had some light rain here today and I was wearing a hoodie. Anyone claiming to be an expert is selling something. I brandish my ignorance like a crucifix at vampires. Aaron Bady #12. To: lucysmom (#11) Consider yourself lucky that you made it home alive.
#13. To: lucysmom (#7) If he did, what has that got to do with Zimmerman stalking him? Zimmerman has never been charged with stalking. The kid apparently had a bad attitude. But your dumb about everything so nothing surprising mininglucysmom
#14. To: A K A Stone (#13) But your [sic] dumb about everything... HA HA!!
#15. To: Fred Mertz (#12) Thanks Fred, I do. No more hoodies for me. Anyone claiming to be an expert is selling something. I brandish my ignorance like a crucifix at vampires. Aaron Bady #16.

Do you think that is appropriate?

#27. To: mininggold (#24) Why are you so unsure of your own manhood? I assure you I am quite sure of it. I'm full of testosterone.

#29. To: A K A Stone (#27) I'm full of testosterone. Is that what you call it? Anyone claiming to be an expert is selling something. I brandish my ignorance like a crucifix at vampires. Aaron Bady #30. To: lucysmom (#29) Is that what you call it? Yeah. Now back to the topic. Any sane person would say at this point there is reasonable doubt. None of will really ever know the truth with certainty. But there is reasonable doubt. Unless something else comes out to counter all this new information. From the witness who say Trayvon attack Zimmerman. To Trayvons apparently attacking the bus driver. His gang picture making gang symbols. His I'm a "Nigga" gangster attitude. Reasonable doubt at the very least.
#31. To: A K A Stone (#30) (Edited) Too much spin in your post. Half the white teenager boys in the country have the same attitude.

#37. To: A K A Stone (#30) Reasonable doubt at the very least. So then you agree, the police were premature when they decided Zimmerman was innocent.

To: lucysmom (#37) So then you agree, the police were premature when they decided Zimmerman was innocent. No I don't agree. I said at the least. At the very least any reasonable person should be able to see that much. I don't like cops and often call them pigs. I'm sure you know that. But they aren't always wrong. In this case they seem to have made the right decision. That is the honest way I see it. Two days ago I was starting to lean the other way. Or maybe it was 3 days ago.
#40. To: mininggold (#38) The stuff which would qualify half the teenage boy population of this country to be also guilty. Half the white teenage population of the country didn't hit a bus driver. Half the white population doesn't attack Mexicans or people who look like Mexicans. Around here we call them all Mexicans because they all look the same. Well they do look the same. Ok his family is from Peru apparently.
#41. To: A K A Stone (#40) Half the white teenage population of the country didn't hit a bus driver. Half the white population doesn't attack Mexicans or people who look like Mexicans. No but if they did, by your standards they should automatically be considered guilty of aggression.

#43. To: mininggold (#31) Half the white teenager boys in the country have the same attitude. You're a liar.
#44. To: Thunderbird (#43) (Edited) You're a liar. I do agree that I'm mistaken on the percentage. I live in Whiteyville, land of banks and rich parents, and it's about a 90% white teenage punk rate here. And the local businesses will agree.
