New info that Trayvon Martin was previously suspended from school while in possession of a burglary tool and women's jewelry that he claims was not his, and that his suspension was officially for graffiti.

He'd been suspended from school a total of 3 times. The latest for drug and drug paraphernalia possession which was the current suspension in the time he was shot.

The picture emerging about this big kid is not as first advertised. This should not be a national story. The only reason it is is because of race, and I don't mean the race of Martin, I mean the race of the shooter. The only problem is that the story revolved around the shooter being named Zimmerman, which meant he was Caucasian. The kicker is that his name didn't reveal that the shooter is, in fact, classified as Hispanic. This only slowed down the express train of "racial indignation", but didn't derail it.
