Trayvon Martin was reportedly suspended from school in October after being caught with women's jewelry and a flathead screwdriver


You mean all male high school students don't pack 12 pieces of women's' jewelry and a potential burglary tool? This incident occurred last October. At the time of his death, Trayvon Martin was on suspension for allegedly possessing a baggie with marijuana residue. He also had a very offensive twitter account. You can view his tweets here.
SANFORD — Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin was suspended from school in October in an incident in which he was found in possession of women’s jewelry and a screwdriver that a schools security staffer described as a “burglary tool,” The Miami Herald has learned.

Trayvon, who claimed that an unnamed friend had given him the jewelry, was not disciplined because of the discovery, but was instead suspended for graffiti, according to a Miami-Dade Schools Police report obtained by The Miami Herald.

A lawyer for the dead teen’s family acknowledged Trayvon had been suspended for graffiti, but said the family knew nothing about the jewelry and the screwdriver, calling the information in the report an attempt to “demonize” the youth.

According to the report, on Oct. 21 staffers monitoring a security camera at Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School spotted Trayvon and two other students writing “W.T.F.,” an acronym for “What the f—,” on a hallway locker, according to schools police. The security employee, who knew Trayvon, confronted the teen and looked through his bag for the graffiti marker.

Trayvon’s backpack contained 12 pieces of jewelry, in addition to a watch and a large flathead screwdriver, according to the report, which described the screwdriver as a burglary tool.

Trayvon was asked if the jewelry, which was mostly women’s rings and earrings, belonged to his family or a girlfriend.

“Martin replied it’s not mine. A friend gave it to me,” according to the report. Trayvon declined to name the friend.

THE MEDIA HAS TRIED TO MAKE TRAYVON INTO A SAINT WHILE DEMONIZING MR. ZIMMERMAN WHILE IT WAS OBVIOUS TRAYVON WAS DOING DRUGS BRAGGED ABOUT HIITING A BUS DRIVER IN THE FACE AND APPEARED TO BE BREAKING IN AND ROBBING PEOPLE? SAY WHAT YOU WANT BUT IT DOES NOW APPEAR THAT TRAYVON WAS SOMEWHAT AGGRESSIVE AND HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS. I HATE TO SEE ANYONE DIE AND I FEEL FOR ANYBODY WHO LOSES A LOVED ONE BUT THE SCALES HAVE SOMEWHAT GONE IN ZIMMERMANS FAVOR IN THAT IT APPEARS TRAYVON WAS SOMEWHAT UNPREDICTABLE AND WRECKLESS. THERE ARE NO WINNERS IN THIS MATTER. I FIRMLY BELIEVE NOW THAT REV. SHARPTON AND JESSE JACKSON HAVE BEEN GREATLY MISLED LIKE THE REST OF US IN THIS WHOLE MATTER AND WOULD DO MUCH BETTER JOINING HANDS WITH ALL AMERICANS IN TRYING TO TEACH ALL AMERICAS YOUTH(NOT JUST BLACK AMERICA)THAT THERE IS A BETTER WAY. IF MR. ZIMMERMAN IS LYING THEN SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE HE WILL PAY FOR IT BUT NONE OF US WERE THERE.

He is a very troubled teen. If he was not involved with burglary I wonder if it is true that he didn’t stole those jewelry. I think that parents need more effort in disciplining teens who is also acting like him.
