It wasn’t supposed to take Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin five years to write a book about the death of their son, Trayvon Martin. But their grief has made finding the words unbearable until now.

Martin’s parents collaborated to write “Rest In Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin,” published Tuesday by Spiegel & Grau. The book recounts the journey of two grieving parents, thrust into the spotlight by tragedy and on some days, still as close to their loss as the day he died.

“The calendar says five years, but it seems like just a few months,” Sybrina Fulton said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I know that we’re still healing.” […]

The family, which has a foundation in Trayvon’s name, has not reached out to President Donald Trump, but is open to working with the administration in their efforts, Tracy Martin said. …

Will their book include how Trayvon slammed Zimmerman’s head onto the hard ground again and again and again?

[Vaquero]

Think of it. 5 years without one feral, raping and killing. Wonderful

[River_Wrangler]

Do you think it is written in cursive?

[gov_bean_ counter]

Are the crayons going to be included???

[GoldenPup]

Show me the money!

That’s as likely as being able to see Obama’s college transcripts and real approval ratings.

[House Atreides]

I wonder who the ghost writer is?

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

How cute.....they titled it after a Crip phrase.

[lee martell]

Did Al Sharpton or JayZ hire somebody’s BLM niece to write this ‘book’ for them? I’m seeing lots of Ghosts doing lots of writing of fiction here.

[Olog-hai]

Ben Rhodes, maybe? Just my first guess, of course.

Trying to milk a few more bucks out of their thug son’s corpse.

[Alas Babylon!]

“Show me da money!”

“He was a good boy that never did no harm. The racist hoodlum shot him for no good reason. De end.”

[blam]

I’m surprised that either can read.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

I see they made the book about themselves and not their deceased son. Kinda telling.

[Lexington Green]

How long before they start selling pieces of Trayvon’s holy body?

[NormsRevenge]

Milking the Legacy of a Thug

coming to Amazon and Barnes&Noble soon.

[Rurudyne]

Me + 10’ pole ... nope, still not making contact with it

[Lurkinanloomin]

Still milking the St. Skittles story for all it’s worth......

He ended up being shot from his own stupid decision to attack an armed man and make that armed man believe he was going to kill him.
