So Spatial was either lying, or like myself when I've said "gold" he was quoting someone else, and/or mistaken. You guys seem to want to categorize everything GZ says that strikes you as varying between one of his accounts and another as a "lie" and it looks like you want to do the same to others.
I've quoted "real gold and diamond" many times on other forums because I thought that was the quote, should I have checked the article every time and quoted it exactly? Yea maybe probably. Sloppy of me I guess.
But let's get down to basics here. Silver is still a very precious metal. It doesn't sound like this stuff was costume jewelry as some have claimed. 12 pieces is a lot, also. And didn't it say women's jewelry?
12 pieces... that should raise your eyebrow.
Any theories about it being jewelry someone else stole are silly, IMO, because of the presence of the screwdriver.
Do a little Columbo work here. Trayvon was periodically visiting a community that was experiencing a rash of burglaries... the neighborhood watch guy there saw him behaving suspiciously there on his most recent trip, and thought he was likely one of the burglars... previously, he'd been caught with what the school thought was stolen jewelry, and what they thought was a burglary tool, and they felt confident enough in it not being legitimately his that they CONFISCATED IT. If it was his or his friend's, how would taking it from him in any way be acceptable? How would Trayvon and/or his friend and/or Trayvon's parents even BEGIN to allow the school to take a massive amount of expensive jewelry, possibly with sentimental importance to TM or his friend or whoever... ??? they'd never permit such a thing if he had it under legitimate circumstances. The fact that he allowed it to be confiscated and "declined to name the friend" tells you all you should need to know to connect the dots here.
So again, this same person periodically visiting a community plagued by burglaries... seen as behaving suspiciously, possibly looking at houses in a suspicious manner... by the neighborhood watchman. The watchman keeps an eye on him, and he ends up attacking him for doing so.
If you guys didn't let so many other silly things like the media narrative, and all these elaborate theories get in the way... you'd see the obvious truth.
Which is that it's QUITE LIKELY Trayvon was one of the remaining, uncaptured burglars of the community there. Would jewelry stolen in Sanford match police stolen jewelry records in Miami Gardens?
