Trayvon Martin and Fight Club

The Orlando Sentinel reports what was on Martin's phone.

Martin's mother kicked him out of the house because he was cutting classes.  My guess is that means that the mother was frustrated and cutting classes was evidence that Martin was not changing his ways. 

He was evidently growing marijuana as well as using it regularly.  He was also apparently interested in acquiring a handgun.  I'm sure he planned to submit to a background check beforehand.  He was involved in fights and had acquired a reputation in his neighborhood of being a thug:

His reputation came, he wrote, because of "Duh way I fight nd duh golds (teeth) I had last year."

All this is consistent with George Zimmerman's depiction of Martin as the aggressor who attacked him and attempted to beat him to death.  See the slideshow at the Sentinel link.
