rasmusen poll

I think the results of this poll are absolutely irrelevant, and should not under any circumstances be included in the article, with the possible exception of showing racial disparity of opinion, but even there with numbers in the high 50s of even blacks being undecided, i am not sure it is really informative. BUT, the fact that a major polling organization ran the poll to begin with might be notable, especially if it gets coverage. In any case, something to keep an eye on.

Location section is lacking citation.

I found a youtube video about The Retreat at Twin Lakes and this article: http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/trayvon-martins-killing-shatters-safety-within-retreat-at-twin-lakes-in/1221799

(note: there is a Template:Cite video)

I not sure it really supports anything in the section. Opinions? Richard-of-Earth (talk) 20:10, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

And the location of the racist's home is also missing:

While we're talking about missing things, the edit button is missing. Sucks to see how buggy Wiki is at times. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.103.145.154 (talk) 20:40, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

As widely reported in the media, that location is wrong. Even if it were correct, it wouldn't be appropriate for Wikipedia. Dragons flight (talk) 20:50, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Why is trayvon's suspensions information keep being removed?

And why haven't the admins banned those responsible for vandalism? Being suspended for having a burglary tool in your possesion is highly relevant given Zimmerman said he was looking at houses and acted suspicious. Have drug paraphernalia is also highly relevant, another one of his suspension, as zimmerman mentioned that he "looked like he was on something", something to that effect.Whatzinaname (talk) 22:18, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Really? Was Zimmerman clairvoyant? Did he know about Trayvon's suspensions and therefore have reasonable cause for suspicion? No one claims that, other than some rightwing blogs,. This material is not at all relevant to the shooting of this kid, which is the subject of the article. Tvoz/talk 01:23, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Further I'm confused why someone who made such a big fuss about the cause of suspensions and has already stated that according to the sources, the suspension involved was solely for the grafitti and not the 'burglary tool' or trespassing which were both also involved/discovered in that specific instance is now arguing that he was suspended for the 'burglary tool'.

police video

Video of zimmerman at the police station has been released. Video can be seen at URL below. IMO we should NOT link/include the video as prejudicial, as it shows him getting out of the police car cuffed, and getting frisked, but 3rd party analysis of the video is likely to come soon, including information about his weight and medical condition which may be useful in the article (lack of visible blood on face, head, no bandages, etc)
