Massive mural memorializing slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin is going up in East New York

I think that Tracy Martin has told so many lies that no one knows for sure about anything here:

First he said TM was suspended for 10 days for mj possession and then later that it was for being in a place he didn't belong.

Then he refers to Chad as TM's little brother but they are not related.

Then he refers to Brandi as his fiancee, but he is still married to his second wife -- Alicia Stanley Martin, who apparently raised TM for the last 10 years until their separation a few weeks before the 26th.

So then who was he living with down in Miami -- Sybrina or Alicia. So where's Alicia in all of this???

My understanding as to why his parents numbers weren't called is that the phone was not working. Tracy said that he called that AM and his phone didn't ring but just went to message recording.

I think the police gave the phone back to him too early in the investigation, perhaps even the next day. They should have kept it. It had vital forensic evidence in it and on it. I think I read that they tried to get it back and he refused, and lawyered up. That should have been the SPD's 48th clue that something was wrong with his story.

And AFAIK, he has still not turned over his phone bills to investigators.

By Golly, Vet, so do I!

I leave for Rome as soon as the Martin Family sends me a bit of the money they are making on Trayvon Copyright Gear. I plan to present a Trayvon Copyright Hoodie to Pope Benedict and each member of the College of Cardinals. I know they will canonize Trayvon. St. Trayvon Ghetto parishes would attract young gang-banger wannabes who want to turn their lives around.

I also plan roll-outs of Trayvon Ice Tea, Trayvon Skittles, Trayvon Recreational Legal Drugs Made from OTC Cough Syrups, Trayvon Baby Gear for Single Moms, Trayvon Phone Cards, and Trayvon Protective Gloves. The way that Zimmerman boy made Trayvon skin his knuckles on his face was racist and outrageous.

My bizplan calls for the Martin Family to invest about a quarter, I am sure that Oprah, and the Revs. Jesse and Al will approve. For another 150, I can probably get them ordained.

Your questions to Tracy Martin are outrageous. Trayvon is soon to be canonized. Asking such questions of the father of Saint is just plain wrong!

[Uncle Chip]

Asking such questions of the Father of Saint is just plain wrong!

Yes! I'll be more careful next time. I'll send him some Skittles as reparation.

[M Kehoe]

Are the artists going to name the mural St. Skittles?

As the Chairman of "The Let's Canonize Trayvon Now!" Committee, I am authorized to issue you full absolution in return for a minimum order of 100 Trayvon Copyright Hoodies in assorted sizes @ $100 ea, FOB Sanford, FL. I am including a coupon for dinner for 4 at one of the new SOO Clubs opening in a neighborhood near you soon.

Go now and sin no more.
BTW, the Skittles to Tracy was a nice gesture and shows your heart is in the right place.

I’m still trying to figure out how people can drink Robitussin; I can’t even handle a spoonful of it. Blech.

*Shudder*

Oh,it’s so nasty. :(

In an area close to where I live, after the incident, “TRAYVON MARTIN” was painted in huge white letters on the roof of an abandoned building facing a very busy street. It stayed there several weeks, until someone else wrote “IS DEAD”, in equally large letters across the first. Couldn’t believe how quickly all the graffiti was scrubbed away after that.
