Trayvon's mother trademarks her son's name as merchandise hits stands throughout Florida

The mother of slain Trayvon Martin recently filed a trademark to protect the rights to his name as an attempt to control- and collect funds from- the masses of merchandise being produced in support of their cause. It was revealed today that Sabrina Fulton, the boy’s mother, filed two petitions last week to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to specifically gain the rights to the phrases ‘I Am Trayvon’ and ‘Justice For Trayvon’, both of which have been frequently used by protesters across the country. The trademark application shows that she is specifically looking for control of the use of those phrases on CDs and DVDs that feature her deceased son.

Interestingly, the application makes no mention of other merchandise that may use those phrases, and t-shirts and hoodie sweatshirts are notably absent from the listing, meaning that she would not collect any monetary payment if someone were to sell clothes with those words on them.

That's because she knows that the gangsta generation(s) love their murderers and martyrs. Like I said on another thread over the weekend, these people know what the problem is, and they know that problem, that pathology, is what really killed Trayvon. Make absolutely no mistake about that, and don't let anybody ever kid you otherwise.

They know...

well well well, while her son was alive she never bothered with his upbringing it seems and now he’s dead she wants to make money off him.

So who paid for the application fees, the lawyers etc?

I am on the understanding from reports that she is poor , on food stamps etc so where is the money coming from now?

Now the parents fly off to DC, this is all B/S and it is time for FOX and the rest of the MSM stop posting those photo’s of him at 12 years old and actually show the real young man, gold teeth, tattoos, underwear showing and giving the middle finger while having the word Nig## on his twitter account.

You know what has anyone got the real photo’s of this kid and post them on here please

wow just looking around and saw this site, now credit to one poster on there trying to tell them the truth but it seems those idiots on that link are like so many in this country and they cannot understand the basic facts and then act if they do.

One poster is trying to tell them what has really happened and all these clowns can do is to ignore that poster.

I have to eat crow on this. And I didn't even get info from MSNBC, CNN, ABC and the rest of the gutter slime.

The original reporting painted Trayvon to be a Saint. That was until we learned about the pot, the gold ghetto teeth, the robberies, the suspension...

So I was wrong, this kid was clearly up to no good that night. And the parents and race pimps are just looking to cry fire in a theater.

If she thinks she will receive a load of money, she may want to think again. Zimmerman—man may end up with the booty when he files a law suit.

Macabre. Vile. Craven. Pathetic.

These "parents" have just trashed the legitimacy of any claim for public empathy.
