I hope there is some way for the HOA to recover all or part of the settlement. As for the merchandise...the low turnout at last weekend's rallies (less than 10K nationwide) probably leave them with a lot of pre-padi inventory, lol.

Money will never bring back their son. There’s something sickening about this. If they had given the money to charity, it would have made a good point.

Zimmerman's Lawyers surely should file "Unlawful Enrichment" claims on the funds, since he was Acquitted, and they EXTORTED money knowing that the Gangsta son attacked Zimmerman, and messed with the wrong guy.....

I thought the Law is that you cannot gain financial reward from a Crime, nor can you make claims PRIOR TO TRIAL, that extort financial gain?

The HOA didn't lose any money on this. The insurance company paid the settlement.

Interestingly, this probably bodes well for Zimmerman in the long run, too. By paying the settlement the insurance company may have acknowledged that Zimmerman was acting as a volunteer "agent" of the HOA when he shot Martin. Under the bylaws of every HOA I've ever dealt with, any volunteers who work for the HOA as board members or in another capacity are indemnified against any lawsuits that are brought against them. Once Zimmerman was acquitted of the criminal charges, he may very well have the right to compel the HOA to pay any legal bills and financial settlements from civil lawsuits related to the incident.

Can’t wait for the Trayvon inaction figure with posable chalk outline.

I know I shouldn’t prejudge, but it doesn’t surprise me that she had a pretty good government job before this happened.

Viva Detroit! /S

It will be interesting to see how long the settlement lasts them.

As far as the HOA: they all have insurance and I’m certain that it was the insurance carrier that paid out, not the homeowners. But the homeowners are going to be in for a giant assessment soon because the insurance company will jack up the HOA’s rates greatly after this.

Just guessing based on what happened to an HOA I know of after a big insurance payout.

When will Al Sharptoon demand his cut?

Rich? I doubt it, and i don’t know call me a skeptic but whatever they get, it’ll be gone within a year or two.

Hate on whitey is a booming industry.

Zimmerman should sue to get a piece of or all the HOA money and the tee shirt sales.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

They been PAAAAYYYYED BOOIIIIII! Just confirms what I’ve always said, this is all about money and they were willing to send an innocent guy up the river for it. No responsibility as parents and absolutely no integrity as human beings.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Last week Ted Nugent said Zimmerman should sue Traydmarks™parents. I thought that was going a bit overboard, but after reading this and all the hell they put Zimmerman through ESPECIALLY when they knew what their son was like, SCREW THEM! Sue the hell out of them!

[forgotten man]

I hope they ask 0bama for investment advice. They should put all of their money into green energy companies and try to get rich quick.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Would the insurance company have paid the Martin family PRIOR to determination of the guilt or innocence of the neighborhood watch captain if the Martin family were white? NO.

Sharpton is right.. Blacks really ARE treated differently!

IIRC, the IRS shows up at your doorstep immediately in the case of windfall profits, including paid vacation. We all know that they will not overlook these new members of the 1% elite, right?

Of course, after their lawyers, relatives, assorted hangers-on and race-pimps get through, they may not have much left.

Rush just mentioned that Phil Michelson’s winnings from The Open totaled about $2 million. British & California taxes will take 61% of that.

There’ll be at least two books written...probably more.And watch for Miss Slim Jeans to get her own prime time show on MSLSD.

[BunnySlippers]

Love the question mark at the end of the declaration.

First, Trayvon’s parents split up when he was a child. So split the verdict in two.

Take out the attorney fees.

Importantly, take out taxes.

Not much left.

[dalereed]

Instead of being enriched they should have been chastised for raising a thief and drug addict!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Five years from now neither one of them will have a pot to piss in. They’ll have burned through it on Escalades and trips to France.
