UPDATE:
For those claiming the "gangsta" pics aren't the same Trayvon, I'm sorry to have to be the one to break it to you, but...
You've been lied to -- again.
And YOU FELL FOR IT, -- AGAIN!
We know Trayvon was known as "Slimm" -- a bit more sleuthing turns up a "twitpic" account "no_limit_nigga" for someone calling himself ...
Wait for it...
"Slimm..."
And guess what image "Slimm" chose for his "profile" pic?
You just can't make this stuff up!
And just to save us all the inevitable "some white ray-cist made that page just to make poor Trayvon look bad", well ... Look closely. The oldest image was posted 145 days ago. I'm also willing to bet that the young lady bears a striking resemblance to young Trayvon's girlfriend...
So, in short we have two possibilities:
(1) 145+ days ago, someone decided that young Trayvon would become famous and wanted to make sure some young wannabe-gangster's pictures were wrongly associated with him...
or
(2) You've been lied to once again in the ongoing attempt to "white-wash" the young man's reputation.
Pro-tip: The smart-money's on "(2)"...
PS: For more evidence, we note that someone calling himself "Skee Dollas Nickuhs" ("@MrMonopolSKEE" - who has since set his Twitter to "private/protected") had the following to say:
Ergo, unless this (nonexistent) "Other Trayvon" has also succumbed to some fatal mishap.....
I'd say that pretty much wraps it up...

Well, at least his family is behaving in a respectful way, and not doing anything as crass and assholey as, say, trying to trademark a phrase so they can sell souvenir T-shirts, bracelets, beer can coozies, Afro-picks, Bic lighters.... oh, wait. What?
You don't mean it?
Well, they haven't yet had a cardboard life size figure made of their son's photograph so they can charge leftards and racists to pay 5.00 and have their picture taken with Trayvon. But they will think of that, I expect.
HEY - how about HOODIES with his picture? the family could make hundreds of dollars off their son's corpse by hawking these things! They could get set up to take EBT cards...
OK I'll stop.
The hoodies are a great idea for a money maker; why not add crackpipes with his initials?
And how about a T-shirt reading,
Al Sharpton Resist We Much World Tour -
Towana Brawley
Duke University LaCrosse Team
Trayvon Martin
And a jeweled douchebag with pictures of him and his parents embroidered on the front?
You guys are BAAaaad!
