So we hear the libs and the RWPPs going on about how Trayvon Martin was this poor little angelic 17 year old boy, and to support this contention they show a picture of him taken when he was fourteen years old. It’s easy to see why many uninformed voters fall for this. The facts are a lot different. (Thanks to Lyle for the link) Facts, after all, are stubborn things. That’s why the prosecution couldn’t get a conviction. The facts were against them. Their case was based in emotion. Here are some facts about this poor little “boy”. As an aside, if one were to have called Trayvon Martin “boy” to his face he would have proceeded to try to kick the crap out of that person.

The February 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martion might never have happened if school officials in Miami-Dade County had not instituted an unofficial policy of treating crimes as school disciplinary infractions. Revelations that emerged from an internal affairs investigation explain why Martin was not arrested when caught at school with stolen jewelry in October 2011 or with marijuana in February 2012. Instead, the teenager was suspended from school, the last time just days before he was shot dead by George Zimmerman.

Suspended from school? Twice? Caught with pot and stolen jewelry? I thought he was just an innocent little choirboy. And, since he lived in Dade County what was he doing in Sanford?

Trayvon Martin was not from Sanford, the town north of Orlando where he was shot in 2012 and where a jury acquitted Zimmerman of murder charges Saturday. Martin was from Miami Gardens, more than 200 miles away, and had come to Sanford to stay with his father’s girlfriend Brandy Green at her home in the townhouse community where Zimmerman was in charge of the neighborhood watch. Trayvon was staying with Green after he had been suspended for the second time in six months from Krop High School in Miami-Dade County, where both his father, Tracy Martin, and mother, Sybrina Fulton, lived.

Two suspensions in six months. Hardly the history of an innocent young boy minding his own business.

Both of Trayvon’s suspensions during his junior year at Krop High involved crimes that could have led to his prosecution as a juvenile offender. However, Chief Charles Hurley of the Miami-Dade School Police Department (MDSPD) in 2010 had implemented a policy that reduced the number of criiminal reports, manipulating statistics to create the appearance of a reduction in crime within the school system. Less than two weeks before Martin’s death, the school system commended Chief Hurley for “decreasing school-related juvenile delinquency by an impressive 60 percent for the last six months of 2011.” What was actually happening was that crimes were not being reported as crimes, but instead treated as disciplinary infractions.

Had they been treated as crimes, the “innocent” little “boy” would have prolly been in Juvenile detention and would be alive today. Yeah. I’m blaming the victim.

In October 2011, after a video surveillance camera caught Martin writing graffiti on a door, MDSPD Office Darryl Dunn searched Martin’s backpack, looking for the marker he had used. Officer Dunn found 12 pieces of women’s jewelry and a man’s watch, along with a flathead screwdriver the officer described as a “burglary tool.” The jewelry and watch, which Martin claimed he had gotten from a friend he refused to name, matched a description of items stolen during the October 2011 burglary of a house on 204th Terrace, about a half-mile from the school. However, because of Chief Hurley’s policy “to lower the arrest rates,” as one MDSPD sergeant said in an internal investigation, the stolen jewerly was instead listed as “found property” and was never reported to Miami-Dade Police who were investigating the burglary. Similarly, in February 2012 when an MDSPD officer caught Martin with a small plastic bag containing marijuana residue, as well as a marijuana pipe, this was not treated as a crime, and instead Martin was suspended from school.

George Zimmerman may have been a wannabe cop but it looks like Trayvon Martin was a wannabe burglar.

Either of those incidents could have put Trayvon Martin into the custody of the juvenile justice system. However, because of Chief Hurley’s attempt to reduce the school crime statistics — according to sworn testimony, officers were “basically told to lie and falsify” reports — Martin was never arrested. And if he had been arrested, he might never have been in Sanford the night of his fatal encounter with Zimmerman.

Exactly. Good point.

In fact, the reason Zimmerman was patrolling the townhouse community the night of the February 2012 shooting was that there had been a rash of burglaries in the neighborhood, although there was no indication that Trayvon Martin was involved in any of those crimes.

With his recent history, it would not have been surprising if he had been casing the neighborhood.

As for Chief Hurley’s policy, it was the controversy over Martin’s death that accidentally exposed it. In March 2012, the Miami Herald reported on Martin’s troubled history of disciplinary incidents at Krop High. Chief Hurley then launched the internal affairs investigation in an attempt to find out who had provided information to the reporter. During the course of that investigation, MDSPD officers and supervisors described Chief Hurley’s policy of not reporting crimes by students. Chief Hurley was subsequently accused of sexually harassing two female subordinates. He resigned in February, about a year after Trayvon Martin’s death.

Yannow, have you noticed that in cases like Trayvon Martin, the Black Grievance Industry kicks into overdrive and the libs follow suit?

Tawana Brawlwy was instantly believed until, after a little investigating, her story fell apart. Of course, Al Sharpton still maintains that her original story was true. He was sued for defamation of character by Steve Pagones who won a judgement against him. His friends paid the settlement for him. Al Sharpton has never been held accountable for his actions and he has been responsible for more deaths than George Zimmerman. Google Freddie’s Fashion Mart. The LSM really didn’t cover this trial. The only reason I knew about it was I happened to be in Poughkeepsie at the time going to an IBM school.

In the Duke Lacrosse case, the stripper was believed, and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson immediately jumped into the fray and the libs believed her over the “rich, privileged white kids”. Jesse Jackson was gonna pay for her college. The coach was fired. The prosecutor, who was later dismissed because of judicial misconduct, jumped the gun and prosecuted. Turns out that just like Tawana Brawley, she lied.

And let’s not forget “civil rights icon” John Lewis who claimed he was called “nigger” thirteen times while walking through a Tea Party protest, and the LSM naturally believed him. Blacks never lie. Breitbart offered $50K to anyone who could produce evidence of this. None of the videos taken of that event corroborated Lewis’ accusations. Al Sharpton told Bill O’Reilly that he had seen the tape. As usual, Sharpton was lying. None was ever produced.

Too bad Jamie Foxx and Beyonce don’t know the truth about Trayvon Martin, who was a thug in training. It doesn’t matter. This was a time that a “white Hispanic” (a new racial classification made up by the LSM) had killed a black “boy” and in cases like this, to the Black Grievance Industry and liberals, the white dude is always at fault. Hence the lynching in the LSM.

I hope Zimmerman gets a pile from NBC for their editing of the 911 tape that makes him look like a racist. There was a racist that night but it wasn’t the “creepy ass cracka” George Zimmerman. It was the thug in training Trayvon Martin.
