Mother Moves to Trademark Trayvon’s Name
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, March 26, 2012, 5:37 PM
It’s part of the mourning process.
Tracy Martin (R) and Sybrina Fulton, the parents of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin who was shot dead by a neighborhood watch captain in Florida, arrive to join thousands taking part in a protest called A Million Hoodies March in New York’s Union Square March 21, 2012. Trayvon Martin, 17, wore a hooded sweatshirt when he was killed last month in a gated community in Sanford, Florida, by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman. The incident has drawn national attention and sparked debate over Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law since Zimmerman, 28, has claimed self-defense in the fatal shooting. The police have declined to arrest him. (REUTERS/Adrees Latif)
Mother moves to trademark her dead son’s name.
The Smoking Gun reported:
he mother of Trayvon Martin has filed two applications to secure trademarks containing her late son’s name, records show.
Sybrina Fulton is seeking marks for the phrases “I Am Trayvon” and “Justice for Trayvon,” according to filings made last week with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In both instances, Fulton, 46, is seeking the trademarks for use on “Digital materials, namely, CDs and DVDs featuring Trayvon Martin,” and other products.
The March 21 USPTO applications, each of which cost $325, were filed by an Orlando, Florida law firm representing Fulton, whose first name is spelled “Sabrina” in the trademark records.
The police report says that Trayvon attacked George Zimmerman before he was shot dead.

This incident happened a month ago.
Someone chose to broadcast this case to the public for political purposes. I wouldn’t be surprised if some Dem operative was behind this.
The parents are disgusting opportunists.

We’ll see if the designer clothing line helps keep the house payments current.

@Redwine:
Word.

Blacks need to wake up and realize that idiots like the Martins are giving your entire race a black eye. No pun intended. She is clearly an opportunist. If something unfortunate happened to my kids seeking money from their demise would be the LAST thing on my mind.
I guess it is all in how you are raised.

We should be praying for Mr. Zimmerman.
Can’t even imagine.
Remco Kimber commented:
Jackson and Sharpton have taught her well.
IT’S ABOUT THE MONEY !!!
Dittogirl commented:
Geez..not only are they seeking a race war, now its all for cash. WTHeck is wrong with people?
If this was my child I would be inconsolable, looking into my heart to see why he would act the way he did. We need our American Press to pay dearly for what they have done to this nation.
And a race war between hispanics and blacks will not turn out well.
Remco Kimber commented:
Always looking to the bottom line.
Do I need to play the conjecture game?
Is she on welfare or not?
Joanne commented:
From the eye witness report, it seems likely the young man who was killed was a thug. Maybe he shouldn’t have attacked a man; I’m sure he knows well enough people can carry concealed weapons if they have a permit, so he should have known not to mess with someone.

Martin and these folks aren’t giving any Entire Race a black eye.
They are, however, giving this thug culture one. I didn’t think this “culture”, such as it is, could get any uglier — and it just has. It just went from shockingly hideous to sickeningly butt-nasty. Wait ’til you hear the lyrics from this summer’s Hottest R&B Hits.
Check “The Heat” station on XM. I’ve known how ugly this culture is for a long time. Certainly a decade or more longer than XM has been around. That’s just a good place to start if you want to try and wrap your mind around real the totality of this cultures ugliness.
This case hasn’t diminished my high regard for the likes of Thomas Sowell, Kevin Jackson, Armstrong Williams, Star Parker, Condi Rice, Walter Williams, Bill Cosby, or Alfonzo Rachel — not one bit.
Race has nothing to do with this. Evil-ugly thug culture does, as it channels Satan into every place it goes, like a direct conduit. Like fiber-optic cable from hell.

WOW – a dem and welfare recipient following the American Way of free enterprise! But wait – she will have to pay taxes! Oh my – she could even become the 1%!
TeeDub commented:
I think this shows the desperation of the media and the left. They need to have a anti-Republican cause to rally around. Unfortunately, they again picked a crappy incident to launch their cause. Probably because they can’t find any substantial actual racist actions on the part of Republicans. They have to resort to lame non-sequiters to make their arguments.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Forgot where I was going:
The coming summer’s hottest R&B hits will be killing fantasies and urgings to violence.
Just watch.

Well said.

Thanks, but I completely screwed up that third paragraph.
…a good place to start if you want to try to wrap your mind around the totality of this culture’s ugliness.
But yeah. Nothing to do with skin tone. Everything to do with spiritual proximity to the Devil.
TeeDub commented:
Simple question. Was he doing something he knew he shouldn’t be doing when he was shot? End of investigation. Unwise actions sometimes have fatal consequences.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Trayvon’s mom wears her war wound like a crown…
She calls her child Jesus…
`Cause she likes the name
And she sends him to the finest school in town
Treyvon, Treyvon’s mom likes her money
She makes a lot they say
Spends her days counting
In a garage by the motorway
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war’s begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today….”
And he shall be Treyvon….
Sorry Elton. Had to.
