Trayvon's "Purple Drank": Skittles, Psychosis, & Aggression

[_Analytics]

You know this would be a lot easier if you'd just read the provided link.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_drank

There are numerous slang terms for purple drank, including sizzurp,[2][3][4][5][6] lean,[1][3][4][7] syrup,[3][5][8] drank,[5][9] barre,[5] purple jelly,[4][5] Texas tea,[9] and Tsikuni.[10]

The cough syrup is often mixed with soft drinks and called "lean." It can fetch about $200 on the streets of L.A, he said.

DEA officials said the syrup is usually obtained by doctor shopping, forged prescriptions and pharmacy theft.

Let's get this straight. If you mix prescription cough-syrup ($200 street value) with Sprite and Jolly Ranchers, you get a drug called "lean" or "purple drank." Trayvon had gone to the store to purchase a can of Arizona Iced Tea and Skittles. What can we logically infer from this?

The most logical answer is that Zimmerman is a lean addict and was stalking Martin in order to steal the cough syrup. Conservatives have never answered the following key question: if Zimmerman didn't steal the cough syrup, where is it?

Personally, I think Moroni is storing it with the gold plates.

Regarding the tweets cam shared, it's likely he obtained them from daily caller. You know, that paragon of news that reported Menendez hired prostitutes. Whoops!

These were given to daily caller by an unidentified individual. Interestingly, it appears that the first batch contained the now infamous picture of TM flipping the bird. I haven't found any verification of these tweets or pictures. However, the daily caller later admitted that another version of the very same picture existed and - shock - there's no middle finger this time! The finger has obviously been photoshopped in. Daily caller speculates maybe the two pictures were taken right in a row. That doesn't pass muster, though, because even a casual analysis of the two photos shows they're exactly the same except for the finger, which looks suspiciously photoshopped. So then daily caller speculates that TM himself photoshopped it in! Um, wouldn't it be easier for him to just take a picture of himself flipping the bird? The possibility that they've been fed false information by their source doesn't occur to them, like it didn't occur to them with the Menendez scandal.

I think it's clear TM was a rebellious teenager who smoked pot, skipped school, either got into at least one fight or pretended he had, and got into other trouble as well. But there is a lot of crap floating around the right wing internet that should be viewed with healthy skepticism.

Doesn't matter. The Martin autopsy already shows liver damage consistent with DXM abuse and the effects of such abuse are documented. It also doesn't matter whether or not Trayvon was going to make some Purple Drank right away or just eat the Skittles and drink the juice. The facts of the case show that he circled around to ambush and assault himself a creepy ass cracker. His paranoid behavior is also consistent with a drug abuser. Combine that with being raised on NAACP propaganda and you have a ticking time bomb just waiting to ground and pound someone MMA-style.

Right-wingers are also claiming that TM's brain showed signs of being in lots of fights, and that is also not true. It showed moderate congestion of the leptomeninges, which, according to this text, is normal:

I believe they are also using the "mild fatty metamorphosis" of the liver to build a case of codeine abuse. However, aside from alcoholism, that is normally caused by genetics and diet.

If you study up on it, I think you'll find it is most often a condition more determined by your genetics and diet.

Well, I figured this part out.

TM:

dats y i asked if u know someone dat has but ima stop burnin

That's why I asked if you know someone who has codeine, but I'm going to stop smoking (weed).

Friend:

ohh i doubt it nd why?

Oh, I doubt it (that you're going to stop smoking weed), but why?

TM:

is to roped and u can get the same vibe off lean

I'm too high, and you can get the same effect from Lean.

Also, who's to say he wasn't going to make a "poor man's" Lean and mix it with NyQuil or some other concoction that would make him drowsy? My god, it's as if the notion a teenager would abuse anything to make himself high is a mystery to some folks around here. Abusing NyQuil, for example, will have various deleterious effects on your health.

Unless TM was alcoholic, pregnant, or malnourished (he was none of those three) the only reasonable conclusion was he was poisoning himself... That would be consistent with Lean abuse.

Tell me, cam, did you get this from daily caller, which also posted a picture of trayvon that wasn't Trayvon at all?

Did you get it from daily caller, which also posted a picture of TM giving the finger, only to admit that the picture may well have been photoshopped?

Did you get it from daily caller, which has a history of trusting sources it ought not to trust?

No, I got it from Google images. I haven't bothered to check the source.
