why did travon martin buy skittles and Arizona Watermelon Fruit Juice Cocktail. ?

[Shieldgambit]

what is special about that combination?

[Guru Hank]

He was planning something.

In the state of Florida that entitles you to hang round outside the store and shoot the retailer as an accomplice.

Some people say this is why God has blessed Florida with a curse of enormous giant Burmese pythons to eat their first-born.

[Shawn Robin]

The vigilante that hunted him down and killed him didn't shoot the kid because of it.
So why are you trying to make an issue of that?

[Steve]

Huh? What? Of all the implications of this case, you're focused on why Trayvon chose those particular items?

Maybe he liked the flavor. But seriously - who gives a &@*$!!

[Dee]

Water melon ?
Really ?
LOL.

We now know that Trayvon Martin had marijuana in his system, so George Zimmerman was correct when he suggested that Martin was high.

We also now know that it wasn’t Ice Tea and skittles, but Arizona Watermelon juice and skittles. Both are ingredients in a drug cocktail used in the southern rap/hip-hop scene. Messages that Trayvon Martin posted on twitter suggest that he was abusing codeine in a concoction known as “lean,” “watermellon sizzurp,” “purple lean,” “purple sizzurp,” and other names. Other versions of the drink are made with Sprite.

The drink is made using Arizona watermelon juice, Robitussin, and a few skittles or jolly rancher candies.
