This article makes me want to vomit. Despicable exploitation of the grief of those who lost “innocent” “children”, when Trayvon was neither.

Trayvon Martin's mother gets an ovation at Balto. church

Wasn't Balto a dog?

I hope she didn't grill him up for Obama.

Grieving is one thing. However, the mother seems to have other motives as well. All of this publicity also serves to needlessly enrage the Black community and she may be wittingly or unwittingly helping to stir up the next race riot, violence and more ‘tragic’ deaths.

"Fulton took the dais to a standing ovation. Bryant called her "the mother of the new civil rights movement" and "this generation's Rosa Parks."

Say Wut?

Rev. Jamal-Harrison Bryant asked for anyone whose child had also been the victim of "senseless violence" to come forward.At least a dozen women and men assembled at Sybrina Fulton's feet.

Geez, a dozen little angels were senslessly murdered? All from just one black church?

What is an “Empowerment Temple”? What god do they worship?

I visited the site, and got a few come-on sermons from the minister, but still can’t make it out. Evidently a cross between black empowerment and . . . technology?

Getting applauded for a son’s death is kind of creepy.

Maybe they should ask anyone whose child has been a perpetrator of “senseless violence” to come forward.

I really don’t expect this failure of a mother to ever accpt the fact that her adult son acted stupidly and died from that stupidity.
Frankly, her failure as a parent to raise him correctly led to his death. His father’s failure to raise him properly, led to his death.
They are surely more responsible for the death of their son than is Zimmerman.

“Earlier Fulton told the congregation that she was visiting the mega-church to see some of the thousands who have stood with her family to demand justice for her son,”

... and to sell some more trademarked, autographed hoodies for only $19.99!

“Few supporters have been more forceful — or more present — than the church’s pastor, Bryant, who has been at Fulton’s side since shortly after Martin’s death....”

Well, that answers my question as to WHO brought this to the attention of the political bigwigs and MSM.

I knew there had to be one initial and ‘well-connected’ link.

I think a lot of people are making money on this issue.

Since she trademarked all the "trayvon" merchandise, she can probably write off this escapade in Baltimore as a business expense.

Baltimore is a hell hole on the path to becoming the same as Detroit...Maryland’s one party system ensures the “progressive” lawlessness. I live 25 minutes south and the only reason i’ll go is to enjoy an Orioles game. Other than that you are taking your life in your hands due to the indigenous population...

“So this is becoming a cottage industry?”

When does a cottage become a mega-cottage?
