Obama's son, Treyvon Martin, text messages have come out from discovery in the Zimmerman Trial:
The 25 photos released by Zimmerman's team include some of Martin that have already circulated widely online, as well as some new ones, including one where Martin shows his gold teeth to the camera while sticking up his middle fingers, and a close-up picture of a gun that the defense says was taken from Martin's camera, although it's not evident from the photo who is holding the gun.
Martin, a black 17-year-old, was shot to death by Zimmerman on Feb. 26, 2012, in Sanford, Fla., in a case that set off racial tensions around the country.
Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch volunteer of white and Hispanic descent, has pleaded not guilty, claiming he shot Martin in their gated community after Martin attacked him.
In one of the text conversations, sent 12 days before his death, Martin tells a friend he has been suspended from school for fighting.
"Why you not in school?" a text he receives asks.
"Suspended."
"I thought you was going out with ur friend," the reply says.
"Naw my ol g say she dont want me home caus she think ima get in mo trouble," he texts back.
Martin's texts also indicate he may have been curious about guns.
"U gotta gun?" reads a text from Martin's phone, sent on Feb. 18, 2012, to a friend of his who was on the phone with him on the night of the shooting.
"You want a 22 revolver" asks someone in a text he receives that day.
Three days later, Martin mentioned a caliber of gun while asking a friend in another text, "U wanna share a .380 w.[redacted]?"
Other texts released allude to problems Martin was having at home and with authorities.
"My mom just told me i gotta mov wit my dad," says one from Nov. 22, 2011. "She just kickd me out."
Later that day, a text says, "Da police caught me outta skool."
Marijuana references are scattered throughout the texts. Some of the newly released photos show Martin blowing smoke and what appear to be marijuana plants.
SO THIS IS "OBAMA'S SON"-WHAT A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A THUG-FARGING FIGURES!!!!
