trap,
The Purple Drank, or Purple Lean, is a drug cocktail popular in the hip-hop subculture. That part of the story was out there, but went unreported by the media due to their framing the 'victim' as St. Trayvon of the Skittles. Amazing how they made much hay of the Skittles and watermelon drink that he bought (look how innocent a kid he was!), but the media never explained why he bought it. More media lies by omission, which are more insidious than the lies of commission.
Trayvon is another fine example of the black 'community' lifting thuggishness into acceptability. By withholding the drink information, Zimmerman's 'profiling' makes more sense. What does Zimmerman say, 'He looks like he's on drugs or something'? Well guess what? He was on drugs. But if Trayvon was a drug addled thug hell bent on teaching whitey a lesson with his fists, then Zimmerman's profiling was correct and the race baiters have no case.
What I find obnoxious is the race hustlers all ignore this part of the story, ignore the violent nature of Trayvon which he was proud to show in postings on social media, attempting to force the rest of us to kowtow to such thugs. For if we fight back, we are racist. (Now you see why the prosecution fought like hell to keep the victim's 'lifestyle' out of the court, why they wanted suppressed his cell phone photos. The judge saying somebody else might have used his phone so that evidence could not be admitted was so lame that it showed one more piece of evidence to bias by the judge.)
I find the black faux selective outrage old. If Trayvon was a saint, why was he suspended three times from high school, once for possessing stolen property in his school locker? He was on suspension when he was killed. His father didn't know where he was (dead) for a day. Yet Trayvon is the victim. Well, in a way Trayvon is the victim, just not of who and what the race hustlers want us to believe.
