Right-wing Blame Game Continues: Blaze Insinuates Trayvon Martin Was A Troublemaker

[Inthemiddle]

Go back and READ the OP slugger...

I did read the OP. But bripat's high school experience says nothing about Trayvon Martin's character, period.

Interesting that the more investigation gets done, the less 'innocent' Trayvon looks...

Even if Trayvon had done those things, they're still not relevant to Zimmerman's guilt.

Or Zimmerman's innocence... since he has not been charged with anything. We have due process for a reason.

 

[bripat9643]

I was suspended once from school...I'm pretty sure if someone shot me, I'd still be an innocent victim.

When I was in school you had to be some kind of thug to get suspended from school. You didn't get suspended just for sassing the teacher. A lot of the kids in Jr High School and High school are on the road to becoming professional criminals. They're dealing drugs, commiting armed robbery and committing all manner of crimes.

And what does that have to do with Trayvon Martin?

The fact that he's in high school doesn't mean he isn't a thug.

 

[paulitician]

Yes, cause we all know the Left would never play the Blame Game. Nope, never.

Is there no shame on the fringes of the right? A boy's life tragically ended at the hands of a community watchman who was told by police to back off - a teen armed with only a bag of Skittles and a can of tea (oh, and of course the hoodie that Fox's Heraldo Rivera blames for the incident) - and all the right can do is look for excuses to defend the alleged shooter and reasons to blame the victim. Glenn Beck's The Blaze website has stooped to a new low.

We’re also learning more about Trayvon Martin. According to reporters he had been suspended from school. The International Business Times says Martin’s suspension was due to last for 10 days. But what exactly was he suspended for in the first place? Sources sympathetic to Martin say he was suspended for “excessive tardiness.” However, a quick review of both the local policies for Martin’s school, the Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School, and of the Miami-Dade school district’s district-wide policies, raise some doubts. According to Miami-Dade policy, in order to get a suspension of 10 days, Martin would have had to either commit “repeated, serious or habitual” acts of the following:

• Cheating/Misrepresentation
• Confrontation with a staff member
• Defiance of school personnel
• Distribution of items or materials that are inappropriate
for an educational setting*
• Failure to comply with previously prescribed corrective
strategies
• False accusation
• Fighting (minor)
• Harassment (non-sexual or isolated)
• Instigative behavior
• Leaving school grounds without permission
• Joining clubs or groups not approved by the School Board
• Libel
• Petty theft (under $300.00)
• Use of profane or provocative language directed at someone
• Prohibited sales on school grounds (other than
controlled substances)
• Possession and/or use of tobacco products
• Slander
• Vandalism (minor)

Or even occasional offenses from the following:
• Assault/Threat against a non-staff member
• Breaking and Entering/Burglary
• Bullying (repeated harassment)*
• Disruption on campus/Disorderly conduct
• Fighting (serious)
• Harassment (Civil Rights)**
• Hazing (misdemeanor)
• Possession or use of alcohol and/or controlled
substances
• Possession of simulated weapons
• Sexual harassment**
• Trespassing
• Vandalism (major)

Or of the following:
• Grand theft (over $300.00)
• Hate crime
• Hazing (felony)
• Motor vehicle theft
• Other major crimes/incidents
• Sale and/or distribution of alcohol and/or controlled substances
• Sex offenses (other) (including possession and/or
distribution of obscene or lewd materials)

Or possibly even of the following, each of which carries a minimum suspension of ten days:

• Aggravated assault
• Aggravated battery against a non-staff member
• Armed robbery
• Arson
• Assault/Threat against M-DCPS employees or persons
conducting official business
• Battery or Aggravated battery against M-DCPS employees
or persons conducting official business*
• Homicide
• Kidnapping/Abduction
• Making a false report/threat against the school*
• Sexual battery
• Possession, use, sale, or distribution of firearms, explosives,
destructive devices, and other weapons.

But whatever the reason, it‘s a case that you’ll probably be hearing more about in the future.

Notice the last sentence. They've just called into question Trayvon's character, questioning the reason for his suspension followed by a list of serious crimes that could get a student suspended, but "whatever the reason". You know, we're not saying that Trayvon Martin was a dangerous teen who got suspended from school for committing criminal acts, but here's a list of serious crimes - including rape and murder - that could get a teen suspended from school.....just sayin'.

What's next - drag his parents into it? Let's see if they have a criminal record; if they raised that boy right.

Well, is any of that true or not?

Not surprisingly, you fail to see the point of the thread. There is no proof that Trayvon was suspended for a criminal act; and his alleged suspension (for whatever reason) has nothing to do with his killing. His being allegedly suspended from school doesn't excuse his killing or his killer's reasoning for shooting him.

Of course it doesn't but if it's true, it supports Zimmerman's story that Martin was the aggressor.

 

[PredFan]

Two young men? A 17 year old at 140 lbs with a bag of skittles and a can of tea, and a 28 year old at 250 lbs, with a 9 mm. One follows the other without reason, then confronts him, the person doing the confronting being the big fellow. A fight ensues and the big fellow kills the kid with his gun.

And there is no arrest. In spite of the fact that the police told the big fellow to back off. Suppose the big fellows skin had been black, and the kid had been white or half hispanic. The police would not have arrested him? Yaaahh sure, Wilson.

Wow! martin has lost weight again.

Knock it off with the skittles, do you know that hands hold the bag of skittles and the Iced Tea? Are you aware that hands can be made into fists? Are you aware that fists can in fact kill and can certainly maim?

The size of a person is irrelevant to the case.

Evidence and eyewitness accounts points to Martin as the intitiator of the fight.

In this country you cannot arrest someone if there is no evidence of a crime.

The dispatcher told Zimmerman that "We don't need you to do that". Not exactly an order to back off.

Your bull shit reversal is non-sense. The Shooter is hispanic and the cops are white. Why would they care if they hated non-whites?

You need to educate yourself.

The Blaze article lists ALL the possible reasons that a student can get a 10 day suspension. One or more of those reasons would therefore apply to this individual. Unless and until the school releases the EXACT reason for his suspension, we'll never know the WHY of it. However, if you can use Zimmerman's prior acts to determine his frame of mind, then isn't it fair to use Trayvon's prior acts to ascertain HIS frame of mind, as well?

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

/THREAD lol

Did the Jury verdict come in? Really?

Jackass.

 

[Polk]

Look at these right wing freaks claiming there is going to be riots because black people are protesting.

Racist assholes

Stop feigning outrage. You and your fellow shameful Democrats desperately hope & pray there will be riots. You guys along with CNN & NBC are wetting your panties in anticipation. You're not fooling anyone. So you go on miliking this tragedy for all it's with. Have fun.

Why would liberal "hope & pray" riots will happen? Just from a purely cynical point of view, riots would mean Obama is less likely to be reelected.

My God, you people are jumpy. To the determination of Zimmerman's guilt. Happy?

 

[Full-Auto]

Not what I'm implying at all. What I am implying is that, perhaps, they should have drug tested the guy who did the shooting. Isn't that standard procedure? If it isn't, it should be.

I dont necessarily disagree. The shooter does appear to be the aggressor to a point.

I would comment further, but the left doesnt seem capable of understanding complex arguments.

Well we don't have to worry about you giving one of those...

Cute from a guy that has been trashed on this board so many times we cant even trade you for cigarettes anymore.

Yeah but im being trashed by people of no quailty, so its quite meaningless.

Don't blame me that you set yourself up for the jab...you gave me a softball.

I am not blaming you, I am laughing at you and once again another attempt at your brand of childishness.

Youve been owned Son, if you had bothered to read additional comments you wouldnt look like the ass you do now. Just saying

 

[AmericanFirst]

It's a horrible tragedy. Shooter is a **** son of a magistrate.

The whole story is horrid beyond.

How about that white kid for just being whte got acid thrown in his face last weeK? Did the President Obama mention that poor white kid?

Are only blacks counting now? I'm asking for a reason.

And the reason is, deflection. Thanks. Deflection noted.

No, the reason is, poor black kid but white kid gets ignored. Don't get me wrong, What happened to Trayvon Martin is a tragedy, the shooter should be arrested and prove himself in court, if Martin is truly as innocent as said.

So because the blaze is actually looking into the facts of the case, rather than simply presuming that Zimmerman is guilty and should be put to death by the first mob available, you are claiming it's some right wing attempt to blame the victim?

I guess you just think we should be hastily drawing conclusions and hanging someone from a nearby tree instead? When exactly did learning all the facts ever hurt justice? How is it possible without the facts?

There are alot of people trying to paint Trayvon as some innocent victim. I dont know whether he is or not. But dont you think that evidence showing otherwise is relevant to determine whether he is or not?

Thank God we have Due Process. Mob justice is downright scary.

what does a list of suspendable offenses from the kids school have to do with the facts of the case???

It could show propensity of the 'victim' to be violent and therefore, to have been the attacker.

The school did say what the suspension was for: Tardiness.

Where is you link. IF the school said that, then the school is in violation of federal privacy laws.

Let me get this straight. You feel that because Trayvon was suspended from school, it supports Zimmerman's argument that Trayvon was the aggressor? Utterly ridiculous. You have no idea why he was suspended; and even if you did - even if it was for a violent offense - his suspension has absolutely nothing to do with this incident.

Uh Jose, Zimmerman is Hispanic like you. Aren't you ashamed of your race right now? Or are you still pretending he's White?

And Zimmerman being Hispanic means....what exactly?
