All this time we have been led to believe that Trayvon Martin was just a sweet teenager who was murdered by an overzealous racist neighborhood watch volunteer. After reading reports from the Daily Mail and the Miami Herald, my conclusion is that poor Trayvon turns out to be a pot smoking thief and vandal, and not the squeaky-clean youngster he’s been made out to be.
Of course, the parents and their supporters are screaming that these reports are being spread by a bunch of racists who want to demonize the dear son that has been taken away from them by a racist murderer who was not arrested because he was white.
President Obama injected himself into the nationwide uproar by publically stating that "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon." Now I wonder if Obama’s son would also be a pot smoking, hoodie wearing thief and vandal?
Hmmm, three suspensions and he was on suspension at the time of the shooting. Tsk, tsk, tsk. And here is that Daily Mail report:
SUSPENDED THREE TIMES FOR DRUGS, TRUANCY AND GRAFFITI AND ‘CAUGHT CARRYING A ‘BURGLARY TOOL’ AND A BAG FULL OF WOMEN’S JEWELRY: NEW PICTURE EMERGES OF TRAYVON MARTIN (AND DID HE ATTACK A BUS DRIVER TOO?)
He was suspended from school three times and was on suspension at the time he was shot because school officials had caught him with a marijuana pipe and a baggie with drug residue

Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.
The new claims, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.
It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.
The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewelry. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.
Earlier, he had been suspended for skipping school and showing up late to class. And most recently, in February, he was suspended again when officials found a 'marijuana pipe' and an empty baggie with traces of the drug.
The fresh claims are likely to be seized upon by supporters of George Zimmerman who say the teenager launched an unprovoked attack on the neighborhood watch volunteer moments before Trayvon was shot dead.
The revelation about the suspension in October, in a school report obtained by the Herald, was condemned today by Trayvon's family as part of a campaign to smear their dead son.
The boy's mother said: 'They killed my son and now they're trying to kill his reputation.'
The conservative news site the Daily Caller and the blog the Wagist claim they have unearthed a Twitter account, which has since been taken down, that belonged to the teen.
Among many Tweets, the Wagist claims, is a message from his cousin implying that Trayvon attacked a bus driver.
'Yu ain't tell me yu swung on a bus driver,' a user Tweeted to Travyon's alleged account five days before he was killed.
The Daily Caller, says it has published 152 pages of tweets downloaded from Trayvon's account. The site says Trayvon went by the Twitter handle NO_LIMIT_NIGGA.
A few of the messages make reference to using drugs including one that says: 'Finna (I'm fixing to) smoke 1 wit my dawg wayne.'
But most are simply a take on daily life -- the same as most social media accounts.
'PLZZ EXERCISE YO RIGHT 2 REMAIN SILENT.. DAM,' he says.
Another says: '2 glock 40's... bitch you got 80 problems.'
The boy’s parents say that they have never heard the claim about the screw driver and jewelry.
The October suspension was officially for graffiti, after he and some friends wrote ‘W.T.F.’ on a school locker. [All kids know that stands for ‘What the fuck]
According to an October report of the incident by the Miami Dade Schools Police, obtained by the Miami Herald, Trayvon never received any punishment for the jewelry because he said it was not his and it belonged to a friend.
In total, he had 12 pieces of mostly women’s rings and earrings in his bag.
Instead, he was suspended on October 21for the graffiti charge.
Ben Crump, a lawyer for Trayvon’s parents, said that they ‘never heard anything like this about a bag of jewelry….And anyway, it’s completely irrelevant to what happened February 26.
‘They never heard this, and don’t believe it’s true. If it were true, why wouldn’t they call the parents? Why wasn’t he arrested?
‘We think everybody is trying to demonize him.’
The Martin family has admitted that the October suspension was his second, and that he had previously been suspended for tardiness and truancy.
The third, and arguably most serious suspension, came in February in the days leading up to his death.
According to the Miami Herald, Miami-Dade Schools Police reported finding a bag with marijuana residue and a ‘marijuana pipe’ in the 17-year-old’s possession.
The boy was never criminally charged, but the Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to drug related incidents so he was suspended for an undisclosed amount of time.
