Some of Trayvon Martin’s Tweets That Stand Out (Language Warning)
He was not some innocent little kid. He was a huge guy with some very antisocial attitudes
A more recent picture of him than the one you usually get shown in the media
By John Hawkins
The mainstream media has bent over backwards to portray Trayvon Martin as a choir boy who couldn’t have possibly been at fault and George Zimmerman as a malicious racist who was bent on killing him for no reason whatsoever. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to square with the facts we’ve learned since then. That doesn’t mean George Zimmerman is now the good guy and Trayvon Martin is the bad guy or that Zimmerman shouldn’t have to go on trial; it just means the whole case is a lot more ambiguous than it appeared to be at first glance.
George Zimmerman doesn’t appear to be a racist, he MAY HAVE had good cause to shoot Trayvon Martin, and Martin is not the angel he’s being portrayed as in the press. Pointing this out isn’t a “smear campaign;” it’s journalism.
Towards that end, Trayvon Martin’s Twitter account, which was deleted after his death, no doubt because it made him look perfectly awful, has now surfaced. What follows is a more current picture of Trayvon Martin and 20 of his tweets that stuck out. Under normal circumstances, these tweets wouldn’t be all that important, but given the media narrative, which is that Martin was a harmless little cherub who was pursued and killed for no other reason than because he was black, it’s worth noting that there might be a lot more to the story.
That story starts with the name of his Twitter account, “No_Limit_N*gga” (I put an asterisk in there that’s not in the actual name to keep it from showing up in search engines). The tweets come courtesy of the Daily Caller.
Having read through all 150 pages, most of them seem to be Trayvon chatting with his friends and talking about women. The tweets and retweets don’t reference any gang activity, don’t seem to be violent, or talk up criminal activity other than drug use. On the other hand, Martin does make a number of references to drugs and he has a very misogynistic attitude, which, in all fairness, wouldn’t seem to have a lot of relevance to the confrontation between him and George Zimmerman. As to the significance of these Tweets, many of which are retweets that apparently caught Trayvon’s eye, and the picture they paint, you can decide for yourself:

The public have been played for suckers on this story. Its the Duke LaCrosse players and the Jared Loughner story all over again: Leftists leaping to false conclusions and damn the evidence. They are vicious liars.
Black vigilante gets it wrong; No apology: "AN ANGRY tweet by director Spike Lee has left an elderly couple in fear for their lives. Lee, the director of Inside Man and Do the Right Thing, posted the Florida address of David and Elaine McClain in the mistaken belief it belonged to George Zimmerman, the neighbourhood watchman who killed an unarmed black teen in Miami last month. The McClains do have a son named William George Zimmerman but he isn't the George Zimmerman, whose shooting of Trayvon Martin has divided the US. The McClains told a news station that they had received a threatening letter addressed to Zimmerman and have since fled their home. The incorrect address was first tweeted by an LA man, Marcus Higgins, but it went viral after Lee, who has been extremely vocal about Martin's shooting, retweeted it to his 240,000 followers. Lee has since removed the tweet and, uncommonly for him, is keeping quiet. Instead of issuing a statement or an apology, Lee's official stance is: "No comment."
Supporters of Zimmerman fearful of speaking out: "Trayvon Martin's supporters pack churches, swarm rallies and wear hooded sweat shirts in solidarity while friends and family of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot the unarmed teen to death, remain largely out of sight. The few that have defended Zimmerman did so reluctantly, most fearing public backlash. "The family has had death threats, the father and mother, George has had death threats. Anything related to George is a target," said Miguel Meza, who identified himself as Zimmerman's cousin. "The media has been quick to demonize George, but Trayvon Martin was no angelic boy walking," Meza said. Martin was at least 6-feet, several inches taller than the 5-foot-9 Zimmerman. Meza said Martin was not the child he appears to be in photos flashed across television and newspapers. "George was in a fight for his life," Meza said. The teenager was suspended from school three times this year." Speaking Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America," Joe Oliver said Zimmerman is not a racist and has virtually lost his own life since the shooting."
Chicago homeowner, 80, charged in shooting of burglar: "An 80-year-old tavern owner in Englewood believes it's "unjust" that he is facing charges after shooting a burglar, but believes he will prevail in court. Awakened by his 75-year-old wife, Wright confronted a 19-year-old burglar who had broken through some plywood over a bathroom window in hopes of stealing liquor, according to police. Wright grabbed his 38.caliber pistol, loaded with four rounds, and shot the intruder in the leg. The suspect was arrested -- but so was Wright. Because of prior weapons convictions, Wright was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, sparking calls by his family and neighbors for prosecutors to back down. "If somebody breaks into a place where they are not supposed to be, I bet something will happen," Wright said, adding that he was angry about the arrest. "That's wrong." Wright was charged with one felony count of unlawful use of a weapon after police discovered he had two prior weapons convictions from 1968 and 1994, officials said. Records show Wright also was convicted of theft in 1990. In the 1990 and 1994 cases, Wright got probation. Neighbors held a news conference this morning to call on prosecutors to drop the charges."

Looks like the McClains have grounds for a major lawsuit against Spike Lee. He's now looking just like the kind of jerk who deserves to be sued and held big-time liable for his actions.
I don't understand why you say he was a huge guy, he was 5'10' 150 lbs, he was a 17 year old boy. Although, there are some 17 year olds that have physical accolades that surpass that of most 30 year olds I doubt he was of this category, not that it matters. Mentally he was 17, I think his text messages and twitter account reflect this. Also there is a huge diconnect with young black youth culture and middle America. I'm not saying this behavior is appropriate or agreeable but I don't believe it is uncommon in any city in the country. I am also not stating that both parties are not at fault. I can sympathize with Trayvon, at 17 I could have been in the same situation while being followed by someone I suspect to be an assailant. I could see myself confronting them and possibly turning into an altercation. Who knows what actually happened after these two met, I don't believe that Zimmerman was attacking Trayvon. All I'm saying is there are two sides to this issue. Zimmerman was an extremely negligent gun holder.
So your saying the tweets you listed suggest he deserved to be followed confronted and shot dead. Good work, your paranoia against blacks is amazing
Journalism? You just went out of your way to publish tweets about smoking weed and fantasizing about women from a 17 year as a means to support the taking of his life by a man who unprovoked, followed confronted and shot dead this young man who was walking home. Your paranoia against blacks is shining bright. If this wasnt such a tragedy your comments would be amusing at best.
I am unaware of so much about this case. I think his tweets clearly show his state of mind. Even if it was influenced or his state of mind as a youth you don't say things publicly on social media outlets unless that is what you at the least want people to think of you.
Smitty... Really?
Because if I were to shoot someone, I would completely follow them, and get in close enough range FOR a confrontation. Right... That's what I would do if I had a gun.
I am sorry, but for those who believe public social interactions such as posted are from a "normal, healthy 17 year old" have been fleeced by popular media and your own internal uncertainty.
As for "Smitty" above - Your public fallacy of false-logic and deliberate misinterpretation of this article shows just how powerful these can be.
