Trayvon Martin's parents planning book
United Press International ^ | December 13, 2013

Posted on 12/14/2013 9:18:01 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Trayvon Martin's parents are working on a book about the killing of their son and the trial and acquittal in Florida of George Zimmerman, publishers say. Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin met with publishers to discuss the book, the New York Times reported Friday. Publishing executives said the couple talked about the role of race in the killing and religion in their lives.

Trayvon was 17 and walking to a relative's house when he encountered Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, in a gated community in Sanford, Fla. The teenager was unarmed but Zimmerman's attorneys argued he jumped Zimmerman, who fired in self-defense.

Jan Miller, Fulton's and Martin's literary agent, joined the couple for the meetings, the executives told the Times.

While little attention was paid to the shooting immediately after Trayvon was killed in February 2012, the news media began covering it when his family questioned the police decision to release Zimmerman without charges. Zimmerman's trial this year received national and international attention.

Nothing like limelight seeking “parents” profiteering from a kid’s death, a kid they were too lazy and disinterested in to properly parent

Great! Gotta keep that “Knock-out Game” momentum going...

These two, the media, the Democrat party, have no idea how much evil they have spawned off Trayvon’s attempt to play gangsta in the hood with the wrong person.

It will hit the best seller list and reap 5 star reviews by all the Leftist toadies, as a financial reward for playing the Victim Card.

We all knew there would be a book, and after that a movie.

In the Movie Trayvon will be portrayed as an altar boy coming home from Church with a bottle of Holy water for his Fathers sick girlfriend.

All good books should have popup 3D pictures.

Hopefully it’s a book to address the sad results of teenagers having babes out of wedlock, black or white, and how hard work, faith, morals and love of spouse and family will bring the best rewards.
